New Wearable Gadget Source:  Spryng Mimics and Accelerates Circulation Spryng wearable aids for muscle recovery were created to help injured athletes recover more quickly.  It accelerates injury recovery time by using pneumatic compression.  The pads which go around the lower legs are designed to be used for fifteen minute sessions. Mimics Legs' Natural Physiology The device can be used while you're in motion or at rest.  It is wrapped around the calves.  It massages the legs using pneumatic compression in a "Wavetech" pattern that the company says mimics the natural physiology of the legs.  It aids and accelerates blood circulation to speed up recovery time and flush out lactic acid. Muscle Recovery Gadget The company calls the gadget the world's most advanced muscle recovery tool and claims that it provides faster muscle recovery, better performance and improved circulation.  It mimics natural muscle contractions and increases oxygen su...

Innovation from a Global Team of Scientists   Source:  American Chemical Society 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.
