Breakthrough oxygen gel could transform healing of diabetic wounds

A team of researchers at the University of California, Riverside, has developed an innovative battery-powered oxygen-gel that may revolutionise the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds. The gel delivers a steady flow of oxygen directly into hard-to-heal tissue, accelerating recovery, reducing infection, and potentially preventing amputations. Early preclinical studies show promising results, suggesting this technology could offer clinicians a powerful new tool for managing wounds that have long challenged conventional treatments.
