Quote: Vomaris Innovations, based in Chandler, Ariz., recently went to market with the Prosit adhesive bandage, which uses microscopic batteries mounted on a flexible membrane to pass a tiny amount of current - 1.2 volts - over the affected skin. Though the process isn't understood entirely, Vomaris founder Jeff Skiba, 55, won FDA approval for use of the Prosit in hospitals after an impressive array of clinical trials showed that it jump-started healing for all patients.

For your reading pleasure.... very interesting product. Our nerves use electric type currents between the synapses (edit: changed spelling thanks to Bel) (hope I remembered all that right).

I wonder will it also help lessen scaring?

Heh, cool. See this is why I love science and engineering.
When people say "you can't stop progress", this should be what they're talking about.
