Developed by a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore, the innovative magnetic hydrogel, which contains skin cells for healing and magnetic particles, takes a comprehensive ‘all-in-one’ approach to wound healing, accelerating the process on several fronts.

A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore has developed an innovative magnetic wound-healing gel that promises to accelerate the healing of diabetic wounds, reduce the rates of recurrence, and in turn, lower the incidents of limb amputations. A bandage pre-loaded with magnetic hydrogel is placed on the wound, and an external device is used to accelerate the wound healing process.
