This high-tech wound bandage with specialized sensors is said to provide information of the wound’s healing process without having to change dressings unless necessary. This product was developed to avoid unnecessary skin irritation and infections, to ease nurses work and to lower costs. It was said that 17 billion $ were spent on treating wounds in 2016. These smart wound dressings would be 20% more expensive compared to current industrial dressings. If these dressings fulfill their purpose and do what they are intended to do, they could save a lot of money in the future.
