Bandages infused with casein, a protein that occurs naturally in cow's milk, significantly improved wound healing in rats compared to those in control groups, according to a new study by researchers.

The scientists used the bandages on the wounds of both mice and rats with diabetes, before and after infection, for the study, demonstrating the “smart” bandage’s incredible potential.

So far, Fraboni says, “The group has developed a range of bandages with various layers and different absorption properties and characteristics,” which could vary depending on a person’s specific wound ...

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.

In animal testing, wounds treated with electric bandages healed 30% faster than wounds treated with conventional bandages, researchers reported Wednesday in the journal Science Advances. The ...

Electronic bandage speeds wound healing and dissolves into body after use. The molybdenum electrodes transmit real-time data to the bandage's coil at the opposite end. Northwestern University.

Chronic wounds such as diabetic skin ulcers can be very slow to heal, potentially leading to amputations or sometimes even death. A new bandage could speed their healing by delivering electrical ...

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.

It is common practice for a doctor to remove bandages daily to check on the injury, but it isn’t always easy. Removing the dressing of a fresh wound could disrupt the healing process but leaving the ...
