Researchers from Dunhua University in China have unveiled innovative surgical sutures that can significantly speed up the wound healing process. They generate an electrical charge when stretched, improving tissue regeneration. The sutures are made of bioabsorbable materials, eliminating the need for surgical removal after healing. Scientists used a specialized mechanoelectric fiber for the project. The uniqueness of the new method is that it works passively while the patient is moving. Its layers touch and separate, creating electric fields that promote faster healing. In laboratory tests on cell cultures, wounds treated with electrical sutures healed 69% faster compared to a control group using conventional sutures. Studies on rats also confirmed the effectiveness of the new sutures: after 10 days, wounds with electrical sutures closed 96.5%, compared to only 60.4% for the control group. In addition, the level of bacterial infection in rats with electric sutures was significantly lower, regardless of disinfection. In the future, Chinese researchers plan to conduct clinical trials on humans before the novelty can get into practice.
