TSUKUBA, Japan, Jan 18, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Tiny dressings that generate electricity in response to movement could accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration.
Key Points:
- TSUKUBA, Japan, Jan 18, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Tiny dressings that generate electricity in response to movement could accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration.
- Scientists in Taiwan reviewed the latest advances and potential applications of wound healing technology in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.
- Scientists discovered in the mid- to late-1900s that stimulating tissue with an electric field could improve wound healing.
- Scientists have experimented with TENGs that generate electricity from breathing movements, for example, to accelerate wound healing in rats.
