Patent ID: 8287475

Claim:
A bandage for inducing a charge in a wound or scar of a warm blooded animal including humans to promote healing thereof comprising: an electrostatic field generating assembly for generating an electrostatic field and for directing the charge from the electrostatic field generating assembly toward said wound or scar comprising electrically conductive plates separated from each other by an insulative material of sufficient thickness to prevent electric current from passing between the plates, and a non-conductive outer insulative layer encasing said conductive plates to electrically isolate the body of the warm blooded animal from the electrically conductive plates, whereby no current passes into the wound or any other part of the warm-blooded animal's body; an electrical power source for supplying a current to the electrically conductive plates; and electrostatic field control means for controlling the intensity of the electrostatic field to achieve a wound or scar healing level of intensity sufficient to induce the charge in said wound or scar to promote healing.
