New York, March 27 (Ians) US researchers have developed a novel smart bandage with biosensors that can help heal chronic wounds like diabetic ulcers and burns.
Most of the time, when someone gets a cut, scrape, burn or other wound, the body takes care of itself and heals on its own.
But diabetes can interfere with the healing process and create wounds that will not go away and that could become infected and fester.
The smart bandage developed by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) may make treatment of these wounds easier, more effective and less expensive.
“There are many different types of chronic wounds, especially in diabetic ulcers and burns that last a long time and cause huge issues for the patient,” Wei Gao, Assistant Professor of medical engineering, at Caltech said.
“There is a demand for technology that can facilitate recovery,” Gao said.
