Brief summary
A novel hydrogen peroxide-generating electrochemical bandage for wound infection treatment and prevention, and wound healing has been developed. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and to confirm lack of toxicity of small hydrogen peroxide-generating e-bandages on normal human skin.
Interventions
A hydrogen-peroxide generating e-bandage for wound infection and treatment and prevention. Each e-bandage is composed of three electrodes - a working, a counter, and a reference electrode. Cotton fabric physically separates electrodes. Constant (regulated) generation of low-concentrations of hydrogen peroxide happens on the working electrode, which is in contact with the skin covered with a hydrogel layer.
