Wireless Wound Curer

Hey readers. Hope you liked the label widget that we posted earlier. You can get the widget here. The most irritating thing in life is falling down or accidentally bruising yourself somewhere. But we don't have to experience the unbearable pain anymore as scientist are on a mission to develop an electronic device that heals wounds instantly.Today I am here with a new gadget that cures wound wirelessly which means that wounds can be cured without having to hustle for first-aid.

How does this device cure the wounds?

Nestled inside a wound, a remote-controlled device perks up and begins releasing bacteria-killing heat, a form of thermal therapy that can fell even the most drug-resistant microbes. 

The Wireless Device

After it does its job, the electronic heater dissolves, and its biocompatible ingredients become part of the person it has  helped to heal.

What is it made of?

The remote-controlled circuits are fashioned on super-thin silk and are responsive to radio frequencies. The team builds the capacitors, inductors, and resistors using water-soluble and biocompatible materials: silicon nanomembranes, which work as semiconductors; magnesium, which already plays an important role in biological systems; silicon dioxide or magnesium oxide as insulators; and silk, for the substrate upon which the circuits are crafted.

Materials with which it is made

Now, the scientist and his colleagues are testing a device capable of delivering thermal therapy in rodents. They have implanted the ephemeral electronics in approximately 100 mice so far, just beneath the skin. Using an infrared camera, the scientists can monitor whether the devices are working. When they are, they raise the temperature at the implant site by just a few degrees. And so far, the scientist claims that, there have been “no signs of inflammation, fibrosis, or any other kind of adverse reaction,”  throughout the course of surgical implantion and resorption. 

So we should be expecting good news pretty soon on this project. Hope you enjoyed that and we will be back with  more interesting news of the happenings in the world of science.
