New Electric Bandage Heals
It's a self-powered, electric bandage that generates an electric field over an injury.  It dramatically reduces the healing time.  The innovation comes from a global team of scientists - China's University of Electronic Science & Technology and the University of Wisconsin.

Healing Electric Field
They've created a flexible, self-powered bandage that converts normal skin movements into a therapeutic electric field.

Dramatic Results
The power comes from a wearable nanogenerator.  It converts normal movements into small electrical pulses.  The current flows to two electrodes placed on either side of a wound. That creates a small electric field over the wound.  The results are dramatic.  Wounds covered by the eBandage closed in 3 days.  Those without the eBandage averaged 12 days.
