Chronic, non-healing wounds impact millions, generating overall cost projections exceeding $100 billion, including costs for infection management, among which surgical wounds and diabetic ulcers were the most expensive to treat.
Wound healing is a complex, dynamic cellular-based process supported by a myriad of cellular events that must be tightly coordinated to efficiently repair damaged tissue. Electric fields at wounds play a major role in wound healing and regenerative processes, with possible mechanisms involving regulation of cell migration, cell differentiation, and tissue growth.
NTMed is developing the first and only materials combining: Electrical exogenous stimulus enhancing healing processes, Best antimicrobial efficacy, and highest safety profile.
