Abstract:
:The efficacy of electrical fields in soft-tissue repair is unclear. Materials with a charged surface provide a localized charged environment. We examined the effects of surface-charged particles in wound healing in rats with paired dorsal incisions with one side serving as a control. Tensiometry demonstrated that after 10 days, wounds with positively charged particles were 53 percent stronger (p less than 0.001) than controls (10 rats, 30 wound strips), whereas differences with negatively charged (6 rats, 15 strips) or uncharged beads (11 rats, 33 strips) were insignificant. Histologically, wounds with positively charged particles were characterized by large quantities of collagen-rich connective tissue and by prominent bead-associated giant cells. At 94 days, no differences in wound strength were noted. This method of creating charged local environments has potential clinical implications and may add insights into the behavior of cells in response to charged stimuli.

A combination of cells, cytokines, chemokines, tissue perfusion, an extracellular matrix, and local forces are also required to allow for human tissue repair to proceed.
