Sensor integrated dressings and systems
A method for coating a wound dressing is provided by Smith & Nephew. The coating can be applied on one side of a flexible substrate that supports a series of electronic components, electronic tracks and connectors between them.
The coating is designed to reinforce the connectors or electronic components, such as sensors, which can be used to monitor characteristics of a wound, says the company with headquarters in Watford, Hertfordshire, UK.
