When the technology in the IT, electronics and many other sectors is booming to its full swing, is Health care going to lag behind? The answer is no, as Yanko Design has found out the way to speed up the healing process with their new innovation – Electric Bandages. Though sound abhorrent but researchers at he University of Alabama at Birmingham have found out that electricity can help cuts and wounds heal faster. Researched done way back in the year 2005 claimed that the cells of human body work like chemical batteries and thus a jolt of voltage can help in mending the wounds faster.


This path breaking device in the world health care segment is manufactured in a way that it will be able to generate a very weak field of energy that will help to save the wound from any foreign infections. Thus the focus of the protection will be on sealing the scours and therefore the healing process with hasten on its own.

It is a one handed application wherein the user just needs to peel off the remaining guard. It is then that the electric charge is produced and thus the process of healing is improved. Some of the key advantage of this product includes easy pull to open technique, easy handling, on handed apply and accelerated healing.


In this rat race of innovations, another company called Vomaris based in Chandler, Arizona, has banged the market with the Prosit adhesive bandage that works using the microscopic batteries that are placed mounted on on a flexible membrane to pass a tiny amount of current (1.2 volts) over the affected skin. Although this technology has not been understood very intricately, but by resting upon the successful clinical trials that have been conducted in hospitals, the founder of the company has been able to win the approval of FDA (Food and Drug administration). In the later part of the year, the company is planning to seek FDA's approval for an over-the-counter version as well.


This electric bandage is perhaps the most versatile and sought after product in the health care industry as they can be applied to any part of the body with ease.
