The Nasa has developed an electroactive bandage that uses electricity to significantly promote healing of injured wounds.
Electroactive material is so sensitive that a push or even blow on it can create an electric charge.
In conditions of non-Earth gravity, human blood displays quite different behavior from that on Earth.
"This technology is a device that uses electrical activity to facilitate the wound healing process while protecting the wound." NASA wrote on it's blog.
An electroactive device is applied to an external wound site. The wound will be healed easily.
NASA also said that it minimizes infections and complications such as illness or amputation.
It could be used by military personnel wounded in the field, patients in the hospital who have undergone surgery/who have suffered a serious wound and astronauts in space.
