ABSTRACT:
A small, handheld, microelectric, direct current generator with a low frequency modality is applied directly to a wound site through a composite wound covering or dressing. An electric potential difference is established between an anode and cathode of the composite wound dressing. Wound healing is facilitated by the biostimulatory effect of the applied microelectric current on adenosine triphosphate production (ATP), cell membrane transport of amino acids and protein synthesis. The microelectric currents applied through the composite wound dressing, promulgate antisepsis, interfere with the neurological transmission of pain signals and concomitantly stimulate the release of endorphins which helps to relieve the pain associated with wounds, ulcers and other tissue injuries.
