00:00A new water-powered electric bandage heals serious wounds 30% faster than traditional methods.
00:06The bandage uses an electric field to enhance healing in chronic wounds, like diabetic sores,
00:12which are typically slow to heal and costly to treat.
00:15Developed by a team from North Carolina State University, the bandage activates with a drop of water,
00:21creating an electric field that promotes faster healing.
00:24Tests on diabetic mice showed improved wound closure and reduced inflammation, reports SWNS.
00:30Costing only a few dollars each, these bandages are both affordable and easy to use at home.
00:36The team is working towards clinical trials, aiming to revolutionize wound care with this promising new technology.
