Yenziwe ngepolymer eguquguqukayo kwaye enwebekayo equlethe izinto zombane ezifakwe ngaphakathi kunye namayeza
Izazinzulu ezivela kwiZiko leTekhnoloji laseCalifornia ziye zavelisa ukunxitywa kwamanxeba “okukhaliphileyo” okuxhasa ukuvuselelwa kwezicubu kunye nokulawula inkqubo yokuphilisa, inika ingxelo yesiza seziko lemfundo.
Kwiimeko ezininzi, xa umntu ezisika, ezikrwempa, ezitshisa, okanye efumana elinye inxeba, umzimba uyazinyamekela kwaye uziphilise. Noko ke, izifo ezifana nesifo seswekile zinokuphazamisana nenkqubo yokuchacha zize zibangele amanxeba angapholiyo anokosuleleka aze agqabhuke.
La manxeba anganyangekiyo awaphazamisi nje kuphela abantu abahluphekayo, kodwa nomthwalo kwiinkqubo zokhathalelo lwempilo.
Ukunxiba ngobuchule okuphuhliswe ziingcali ezivela kwiZiko laseCalifornia leTekhnoloji kunokwenza unyango lwamanxeba anjalo lube lula, lusebenze ngakumbi kwaye lungabizi mali ininzi.
I-bandage "ehlakaniphile" yenziwe nge-polymer eguquguqukayo kunye neyolula equkethe i-electronics edibeneyo kunye neyeza. Ngaphakathi kukho izinzwa ezibeka iliso kwimeko yesigulane (ubushushu, ukuvuvukala, ubukho bentsholongwane).
Ukugqoka kunokudityaniswa kwi-smartphone okanye kwikhompyuter ukuhambisa idatha yexesha langempela kwimeko yesilonda. Iyakwazi ukukhulula i-antibiotics kwaye ifake indawo yombane ebuthathaka ukuze ivuselele ukuphiliswa kwayo.
Abaphuhlisi baqaphela ukuba iimvavanyo ezineemodeli zezilwanyana ziye zavelisa iziphumo ezithembisayo. Injongo yabo elandelayo kukugqibelela iteknoloji kunye nokuvavanya i-bandage "ehlakaniphile" ebantwini.
