Design and Manufacturing an Electrical-Bandage Device for Speed up Wound Healing

Abstract

Background: Chronic wounds considered a serious condition to patients and healthcare subjects worldwide. Subjects and methods: Present study designed a device used to treat the wounds by using electrical stimulation (ES) with high voltage pulsed current (HVPC) that encompasses many circuits including boost converter, H-bridge, and microcontroller. Case control and case report studies, enrolled ten male wild type rabbits as well as diabetic woman. After applying HVPC (20V-38v) of voltage, 100 pps of pulse frequency, 100μs of pulse duration) one time/day. Results: Designed treatment revealed efficient healing of wounds by using the HVPC model. Conclusion: the designed E bandage can be used to enhance the healing of wounds in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
