Faster Healing With Electric Bandages
October 13, 2007 by Lauren
Here's a neat concept from our friends at Yanko Design, centered around the idea of electric band-aids to speed the healing process (otherwise known as HealFast).
How would it work? I'm no scientist, but according to Yanko, HealFast would generate a very weak energy field that prevents infection around the wound. This protection allows the body to focus on sealing up your scours, meaning faster healing.
The bandage is designed not only for faster healing but for efficiency as well. Simply remove the outer layer, place the pad over your wound, secure it by pressing down, and peel off the remaining paper guard. In this way, it can actually be applied with one hand (or so they claim). Also, when the paper guard is peeled away, an electric charge is activated. This charge is responsible for the energy field mentioned above, and is the reason you heal faster.
HealFast was originally designed with diabetics in mind, as they tend to struggle with ulcers and sores chronically. This bandage is intended to help address such issues, though really, I could see any person in the general public taking an interest. We want everything faster, and healing is certainly no exception. Head over to the product page for some more pictures (in chronological order of application, I might add).
