Abstract: | The use of low-level microcurrents for accelerated wound healing is well documented. A case series was conducted to assess wound healing outcomes following the application of a wireless, current-generating bioelectric wound care device in 10 equines that presented with traumatic injuries in the lower extremity. Wounds were treated with a bioelectric device held in place with standard bandaging twice a week. At each follow-up visit, wounds were photographed and assessed for signs of epithelialization. All presented wounds were reduced in size or achieved complete wound closure, with an average 1.3% wound healing per day. The results of this case series demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a bioelectric device as a management option for traumatic lower-extremity wounds in equines and hold significant promise in promoting enhanced healing rates and improved aesthetic outcomes. |
