A high-tech electroactive bandage that creates an electric charge to help promote the healing process of wounds has been developed by US space agency NASA.
Wound Healing and Diagnosis May Be Improved With This Germ-Detecting Camera
A camera that produces blue light to detect the presence of bacteria in the wound, diagnosing wound infections before symptoms arise.

New technology developed by NASA uses electrical activity to facilitate the wound healing process while protecting the wound.
The bandage also minimises infection and related complications such as illness or amputation.
NASA said this bandage could be used by military personnel wounded in the field, patients who have undergone surgery or who have suffered a serious wound and astronauts in space.
Polymer Film Improves Wound Healing and Decreases Scar Formation
Chronic wounds affect around 6.5 million patients in the United States, and an estimated excess of 25 billion dollars is spent annually on treatment.

Slow Wound Healing in Diabetics Linked to Weaker Electrical Fields
Weaker electrical fields reduce the healing process in diabetic wounds or any chronic wounds. Correcting this defect offers new approaches for managing diabetes.

New Compound That can Accelerate Diabetic Wound Healing
Wounds treated with ND-336 healed faster than those treated with ND-322 because of the better selectivity of ND-336 than ND-322 for inhibition of MMP-9 over MMP-8.
