A new type of water-powered bandage could be revolutionary at helping slow-healing wounds heal much faster.
A new type of water-powered bandage could make it much easier for slow-healing wounds to close up. The bandage is technically “electric,” but it is powered by adding water to the thin and flexible material. This allows it to deliver an electrical current directly to the wound site, which helps stimulate healing.
The bandage is being called a WPED—or Water-Powered Electronics-free Dressing—because it completely foregoes the normal battery components for a wirelessly delivered power supply. It does require the patient to remain close to the transducer coil that powers the bandage, but that’s a small price to pay for something that is going to help close your wounds much faster.
