RMIT's Bluetooth-enabled flexible sensor patch monitors wound healing, detecting biomarkers and vital signs without dressing ...

European researchers have developed an RFID-enabled smart bandage intended to wirelessly transmit data regarding the healing process of a wound, based on moisture levels, thereby reducing the need to ...

The bandages could be a game-changer in treating slow-healing wounds caused by diabetes and other chronic illnesses, researchers say. Those sorts of wounds significantly increase a person's risk ...

A reusable wearable sensor tracks wound healing through Bluetooth. This minimises the infection risks, thus redefining how ...

In a study published in Advanced Materials on July 22, a team led by Dr. ZHONG Chao and Dr. AN Bolin from the Shenzhen ...

Scientists have now developed a bandage that can heal wounds faster and easier by using an array of tiny, built-in electronics. But the new high-tech bandage has uses far beyond skinned knees.

Researchers said the smart bandage can be a boon especially for those who suffer from diabetes, which often stalls or even prohibits the wound healing process, and that could lead to more serious ...

We’re a long way from the dermal regenerators in Star Trek, but researchers at Northwestern University have made a leap forward in the convenient use of electrotherapy for wound healing. Usin… ...

Their high-tech polymer bandages would, in theory, heal wounds more quickly and affordably, especially for those with certain chronic illnesses that are known to slow down the healing process ...

First of all, hydrogel bandages themselves are nothing new. Typically applied directly to post-surgical wounds, they help reduce scarring by keeping the wound site hydrated during the early stages ...

The bandage has small parallel grooves on its surface. When the scientists place the grooves perpendicular to the wound edges (so in the direction of wound healing) the wound closes faster.

So it naturally follows that our wounds crave the stuff as well. Oxygen is a critical component of the healing process, whether our wounds result from a burn, cut or tissue transplant.
