Antimicrobial dressings for prevention and mitigation of biofilm and bacterial infection by an applied electric current are provided. Methods of making the dressings and methods of applying an electric current to promote the wound healing process are also disclosed.

Antimicrobial wound care dressing

Disclosed and described herein are systems and methods of energy generation from fabric electrochemistry. An electrical cell is created when electrodes (cathodes and anodes) are 'printed' on or otherwise embedded into fabrics to generate DC power when moistened by a conductive bodily liquid such as sweat, wound, fluid, etc. The latter acts, in turn, as the cell's electrolyte. A singular piece of fabric can be configured into multiple cells by dividing regions of the fabric with hydrophobic barriers and having at least one anode-cathode set in each region. Flexible inter-connections between the cells can be used to scale the generated power, per the application requirements.

Energy generation from fabric electrochemistry

A system for accelerating the migration of cells by applying a time-varying magnetic field to induce eddy currents that promote electrotaxis (galvanotaxis) of cells. The system of the present invention accelerates the healing of wounds by electrotaxis of cells.

Non-contact system for accelerating wound healing using an electromagnetic coil to induce an electric field transverse to an axis of the wound
