An Australian researcher is developing a bandage that could help treatment of chronic wounds by changing color to reveal the state of the wound beneath.
The invention could improve the quality of life of many, as well as reduce the $500 million cost of chronic wound care in Australia.
CSIRO materials scientist, Louise van der Werff, is presenting her research as part of this year's Fresh Science.
"What I've developed is something that changes color in response to changes in temperature," says van der Werff, who is doing the research as part of a PhD at Monash University in Melbourne.
