According to the press service of the SSV, Chinese scientists have conducted scientific research to accelerate this process. Ultimately, it was found that the use of electrified threads accelerates the healing of post-surgical scars.
Experiments have shown that weak electric currents help tissue regeneration.
For this, researchers have developed special threads made of biodegradable polymers and magnesium, which can be absorbed harmlessly by the body.
When muscles and other tissues around the operated area move, the middle layer of the wound rubs against the outer layer, conducting electrons. The resulting electric current of 2.3 volts helps the cut to heal.
This method was found to speed up the healing of the wound site by 50 percent. Moreover, the electric current also prevents the growth of bacteria in the cuts without the need for disinfectants.
So far, the new technology has been tested on animals and has achieved positive results. After further clinical trials, this method may be used in medical practice.
