Breakthrough BLAST Patch Uses Gentle Electrical Pulses to Fight Skin Bacteria, Offering Hope for Infection Prevention
In a promising leap forward for infection control, scientists have developed a skin patch that could dramatically reduce bacterial infections through mild electric pulses. Dubbed the Bioelectronic Localized Antimicrobial Stimulation Therapy (BLAST) patch, this small device emits a gentle electrical current specifically targeting infection-prone bacteria on the skin. If these bacteria were to enter the … Read more
