Recently, there has been an increase in the antibiotic-resistance infections and it is found to be life-threatening in majority of the cases. Thus, the challenges of treating wounds become limited and most of the effective treatments prove unsuccessful. In the U.S., there are around 6 Million people being treated for chronic wounds. Lately, the researchers from Purdue University have developed a wearable technology that is likely to help patients get proper treatment without the need of going to the hospital. The study published in the journal Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology explains the newly created revolutionary type of treatment to kill the bacteria growing on the wound surface/diabetic ulcer and help speed the healing process.
Researchers believe that this cost-effective wearable patch is anticipated to help offer ozone therapy. This is a gas phase antimicrobial treatment that is currently being used on a wide scale in the U.S. However, in majority of the ozone therapies the patients have to walk up to the clinic or hospitals for getting treated with the assistance of medical professionals or trained technicians. One of the most surprising features of this wearable device is that it is breathable and is likely to work for a longer period using small, battery-powered ozone-generating gadget.
Furthermore, the breathable patch works by providing ozone to the surface of the wound for providing better targeted wound healing. This approach is not only feasible but also easy-to-use for patients not wishing to get out of their houses. The researchers are now trying to patent this technology before commencing the development of the new wearable technology on a large scale.
Market Research Store has published a report on global wearable patch market. The report majorly focuses on the factors including market drivers, key players, regional status, and financial security that are projected to help propel the market growth during the forecast period.
