A “smart” bandage that can treat chronic wounds has been created in Russia. This development has no analogues. It works on the principle of electrical stimulation – with its help, immune cells are attracted to the wound site, while the tissues are saturated with oxygen, it has an antibacterial effect; reports RT, referring to the National Technology Olympiad Platform.
Electrical stimulation methods for wound healing have been carefully studied by scientists in recent years, including ways to integrate them into the functioning of electronic dressings. The use of this method of treatment can accelerate tissue regeneration in the treatment of wounds of varying complexity, while it does not require surgical intervention and is quite simple.
Such dressings that accelerate healing can be used, for example, in the treatment of wounds caused by diabetes.
The invention is currently in the prototype stage; For further implementation of the project, preclinical and clinical studies will be carried out with the support of the startup studio of the Almazov Center. Later, the scientists plan to obtain a patent and reach an agreement on mass production of “smart” headbands.
We would like to remind you that there are also Russian scientists. developed antibacterial patches containing silver and antibiotics for the treatment of chronic wounds and the prevention of complications in patients in the postoperative period. The method involves adding silver ions to the dressing material and coating it with antimicrobial or bioactive compounds.
