Electropatch

August 17, 2024

Scientists from the USA have developed an inexpensive electropatch that accelerates wound healing by 30%. To activate the patch, it needs to be moistened, after which it starts emitting a weak current that stimulates cells and suppresses the growth of bacteria. The patch is disposable, but it is promised to cost only $1. However, there are no production start dates yet - clinical trials are still ahead.
