Abstract

In healthy skin, vectorial ion transport gives rise to a transepithelial potential which directly impacts many physiological aspects of skin function. A wound is a physical defect that breaches the epithelial barrier and changes the electrochemical environment of skin. Electroceutical dressings are devices that manipulate the electrochemical environment, host as well as microbial, of a wound. In this review, electroceuticals are organized into three mechanistic classes: ionic, wireless, and battery powered. All three classes of electroceutical dressing show encouraging effects on infection management and wound healing with evidence of favorable impact on keratinocyte migration and disruption of wound biofilm infection. This foundation sets the stage for further mechanistic as well as interventional studies. Successful conduct of such studies will determine the best dosage, timing, and class of stimulus necessary to maximize therapeutic efficacy.
