What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Procellera Bioelectric Dressing for Hidradenitis Suppurativa?
Research shows that Procellera Bioelectric Dressing, which uses silver and zinc to create a small electric current, has been effective in managing infections and promoting healing in hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers and surgical site infections. Additionally, it has shown antibiofilm properties, which can help in treating chronic infections.12345
How does the Procellera Bioelectric Dressing treatment differ from other treatments for Hidradenitis Suppurativa?
The Procellera Bioelectric Dressing is unique because it generates a small electric current without needing an external power source, which can help promote wound healing and fight infection. This is different from traditional treatments that do not use electrical stimulation to enhance healing.13467
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing if a special bandage that uses tiny electrical signals can help patients heal faster after a specific type of surgery.
