Researchers have developed an inexpensive bandage that uses an electric field to promote healing in chronic wounds. In animal testing, wounds that were treated with these electric bandages healed 30% ...

Bandaged wounds need to be checked for infection, yet removing the bandage to check the wound can delay its healing. Australian scientists may have a fix for this paradox, in the form of a dressing ...

Chronic wounds affect millions of Americans annually. These wounds include painful ulcers on the foot, leg and beyond. People with diabetes, who have enough on their plate, often suffer from these ...

It's certainly ironic that in order to see how a wound is healing, the dressing has to be removed, potentially setting back the healing process. A clever new bandage, however, continuously shows how ...

Caltech researchers, working in collaboration with the USC Keck School of Medicine, have created a new type of smart bandage that can help improve the treatment of chronic wounds. The advanced ...

Wounds treated in animal testing with the electric bandages healed 30 percent faster than wounds treated with conventional bandages, according to the findings published in the journal Science Advances ...

Researchers have developed a flexible electronic bandage for use on chronic wounds, particularly in diabetic patients. The bandage monitors signs of inflammation, collecting medical data and providing ...

LOS ANGELES -- The basic bandage that has remained similar in design for years could be getting a high-tech upgrade. Researchers are developing "smart bandages" which may have the ability to analyze ...

Bandages come in all shapes, sizes, degrees of stickiness, colors, and designs, but they all share a common trait — they aren’t very “smart.” That is changing. Joanne Moody, president of Zeta ...

A new 'smart bandage' could help improve clinical care for people with chronic wounds. Chronic and non-healing wounds -- one of the most devastating complications of diabetes and the leading cause of ...
