Abstract
A pad for electrically stimulated wound healing, including a pad configured to be placed on a wound, at least one anode disposed on the pad to contact the wound, and at least one cathode disposed on the pad to contact the wound, the at least one cathode being disposed separately from the at least on anode. The pad wherein the at least one anode and the at least one cathode in contact with the wound provide a flow of electrical current in an intended direction through the wound based on the separate locations of the at least one anode and the at least one cathode.
Claims8
A pad for electrically stimulated wound healing, comprising:
- a pad configured to be placed on a wound;
- an anode element configured to contact the wound, the anode element being left unconnected to an external power source;
- and
- a cathode element configured to contact the wound, the cathode element and the anode element being separated by a gap, the cathode element being left unconnected to an external power source,
- wherein the anode element and the cathode element interact with an exudate from the wound to provide a flow of electrical current in an intended direction through the wound.
