FULL STORY: Do you know a kid who just expects your KISSES to make their boo-boos vanish . . . like you’re some kind of mythical character from a white “Magic: The Gathering” card? Well, science is closing the gap with magic.
Researchers say they’ve developed a new bandage that can HEAL WOUNDS 30% faster . . . using a water-powered “electric field.”
They describe it as “electrical stimulation,” but there aren’t any ACTUAL electronics. They’re disposable bandages with electrodes on one side, and a small, biocompatible “battery” on the other . . . that’s activated by water.
The best part is: They’re being described as “inexpensive.”
Anyone would want wounds to heal faster, but the goal was to find relief for people with CHRONIC WOUNDS, which are slow to heal (if they heal at all) . . . like sores that occur in some diabetes patients.
Unfortunately, it’s too early to say when they might be available in stores.
The scientists say they’re “moving forward with additional testing that will get [them] closer to clinical trials . . . and practical use that can help people.”
