A Study of Hydrogen Peroxide-Generating E-bandage Safety
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A novel hydrogen peroxide-generating electrochemical bandage for wound infection treatment and prevention, and wound healing has been developed. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and to confirm lack of toxicity of small hydrogen peroxide-generating e-bandages on normal human skin.

---|---|
Experimental: e-Bandages 3 hours Three subjects will wear the e-Bandage on their skin for 3 hours. |
Device: e-Bandages
A hydrogen-peroxide generating e-bandage for wound infection and treatment and prevention. Each e-bandage is composed of three electrodes - a working, a counter, and a reference electrode. Cotton fabric physically separates electrodes. Constant (regulated) generation of low-concentrations of hydrogen peroxide happens on the working electrode, which is in contact with the skin covered with a hydrogel layer.
|
Experimental: e-Bandages 6 hours Three subjects will wear the e-Bandage on their skin for 6 hours. |
Device: e-Bandages

Cotton fabric physically separates electrodes. Constant (regulated) generation of low-concentrations of hydrogen peroxide happens on the working electrode, which is in contact with the skin covered with a hydrogel layer.

Experimental: e-Bandages 12 hours Three subjects will wear the e-Bandage on their skin for 12 hours. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- e-Bandage Discomfort [Approximately 3 - 24 hours]
Self-report discomfort with the e-Bandage, graded on a scale of 1-4, with 1 being no reaction, 2 mild reaction, 3 moderate reaction, 4 severe reaction.
- Skin irritation/dermatitis [Approximately 3 - 24 hours]
Skin redness or swelling, graded on a scale of 1-4, with 1 being no reaction, 2 mild reaction, 3 moderate reaction, 4 severe reaction.
- Allergic Reaction [Approximately 3 - 24 hours]
Local/systemic allergic reaction to the e-Bandage, graded on a scale of 1-4, with 1 being no reaction, 2 mild reaction, 3 moderate reaction, 4 severe reaction.
- Skin Discoloration [Approximately 3 - 24 hours]
Skin discoloration from the e-Bandage, graded on a scale of 1-4, with 1 being no reaction, 2 mild reaction, 3 moderate reaction, 4 severe reaction.
