Bioelectric surgical sutures: advancing wound healing through mechano-electrical stimulation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The development of electrically stimulating sutures (BioES-sutures) marks a significant innovation in surgical wound care. By leveraging mechano-electrical properties to accelerate tissue regeneration, these sutures present an advanced solution to some of the most common post-surgical complications, including delayed healing, infection, and scarring. This article explores the mechanism, advantages, clinical implications, and potential future applications of BioES-sutures, which have shown promising results in preclinical studies and are poised to enter clinical trials soon.
