Detailed explanation-1: -US space agency NASA has developed a high-tech electroactive bandage that could be used to heal wounds faster. This high-tech electroactive bandage creates an electric charge to help promote the healing process of wounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -This method utilizes generated low level electrical stimulation to promote the wound healing process while simultaneously protecting it from infection. The material is fabricated from polyvinylidene fluoride, or PVDF, a thermoplastic fluoropolymer that is highly piezoelectric when poled.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Brief. ELECTRICAL STIMULATION can help speed wound healing by increasing capillary density and perfusion, improving wound oxygenation, and encouraging granulation and fibroblast activity. Several manufacturers make the high-voltage pulsed current simulator used for this therapy.

Detailed explanation-4: -NASA Langley Research Center’s Technology Gateway An electroactive device is applied to an external wound site. This method utilizes generated low-level electrical stimulation to promote the wound-healing process while simultaneously protecting it from infection.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fresh fruits and vegetables eaten daily will also supply your body with other nutrients essential to wound healing such as vitamin A, copper and zinc. It may help to supplement your diet with extra vitamin C. Keep your wound dressed. Wounds heal faster if they are kept warm.
