For more than six million Americans, having a wound that won't heal is a dangerous threat. Now there's something new worth "buzzing" about. It's a bandage that uses electricity to heal patients faster than ever before.

This may look like an ordinary bandage, but it's not. Dermotologists have been testing the Procellera, a newly approved, bioelectric wound bandage. "It has an effect of stimulating the wound. Not only optimizing the environment, but getting cells to migrate across the open areas," says Dr. Scott Sheftel.

He says when moistened, the zinc and silver elements in the bandage create bioelectric activity, an electric current that heals, "The results speak for themselves. I think that the patients are the biggest advocates of the product."

Flory Bourne has battled skin cancer on her legs for years, "When you're young you heal fast, when you get older you heal slow."

After using the bandage at home, Flory's legs were healing after just three weeks, "I'm grateful for the help, I'm grateful for the patch and the rest, I'm healthy."

Ruth wheeler was in the same situation. She had a deep cut that wouldn't heal, "Six weeks, it wasn't healing." Within two days it started to heal and in less than four weeks it was healed, totally healed."

The bandage works on many hard to heal wounds, including diabetic ulcers and shingles, "The patients just are agonizing in pain and we've used this dressing and really have given them some relief," says Dr. Sheftel.

Currently the bandage is only available through doctor's offices. The makers of the Procellera hope to gain F-D-A approval for over-the-counter use within the next year. For more information, head to www.procellera.com
