How the Gel Bandage Works
Unlike traditional adhesive bandages, this gel bandage is made from a soft, flexible hydrogel that closely mimics human skin. It conforms to the wound’s shape, creating a protective seal while still allowing oxygen to pass through — a key factor in faster healing.

Some versions can even respond to changes in temperature or pH, signaling when a wound may be at risk of infection.
