Lab and Animal Testing

The team tested the electrical stitches on cell cultures in the lab, where they found that a wound that took up 69% of the surface area was reduced to just 10.8% with electrical sutures after 24 hours, compared to 32.6% with traditional sutures. They also tested the stitches on rats, where they found that after 10 days, the electrical sutures had closed the wounds by 96.5%, compared to 60.4% with traditional sutures. The results showed a significant acceleration of wound healing with the electrical stitches, with faster closure rates and reduced scar tissue.
