New Patch Device Uses Electricity To Combat Harmful Skin Bacteria

Scientists have created a bioelectronic patch, BLAST, that uses mild electrical pulses to eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin. Tested on pig skin, this device has shown significant reductions in bacterial levels, suggesting it could be used to prevent infections from medical devices. The patch creates an acidic environment that inhibits biofilm formation, which is …
