Bio-foam! Electrified gel developed to heal chronic wounds

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-gel-wounds-wont-oxygen-technology.html

Here is a report of the development of a novel approach to facilitate healing in chronic wounds. The gel developed can be placed on a patch of anodes and cathodes and a current run through will split water molecules to provide oxygen directly to the wound site. This is reminiscent of the healing bio-foam in science fiction novels like the Halo series. Rapid universal wound treatments like "stim-packs" are a staple in sci-fi. Advancements today for chronic wounds could help us develop new methodologies in cases of burn wounds, skin grafts, or any myriad other possibilities.
