Healfast electric bandage concept

Posted in Concepts, Health by Reuben Drake on October 13th, 2007

Healfast bandage concept provides weak electric field to prevent infectionThis interesting bandage design by Donn Koh uses a weak electric charge contained within the bandage itself to help heal wounds. The concept is targeted to diabetic patients who are often plagued with ulcers and pressure sores, but could possible be used for anyone with dermal injuries where infection would be especially bad. Once the bandage is applied and activated the light electrical charge doesn’t actually heal the wound but helps to prevent the growth of any infection in order to allow the body to more quickly heal itself.
