Scientists develop water-powered, electrode-enhanced bandage for faster healing of chronic wounds.

Scientists have developed a new water-powered bandage with electrodes & a biocompatible battery, activating an electric field to heal wounds 30% faster. Targeting chronic, slow-healing wounds like diabetic ulcers, the inexpensive bandage could be used in clinical trials soon. Early tests show promising results, potentially improving the lives of millions suffering from chronic wounds.
