Omniphobic paper based smart bandage devices

This invention describes a smart bandage made from paper that repels all liquids. It has an adhesive side to stick to skin or wounds, and a sensor embedded within. This sensor uses a special porous pad with electrodes and a specific chemical mixture (PANi-EB/Ag) to wirelessly detect and monitor wound conditions, particularly bacterial infections. The pad can also be treated with a special fluorinated chemical to enhance its liquid-repelling properties.

Why it matters: The short time since filing means the core challenges of integrating specific chemicals and wireless tech into a regulated medical device likely persist. Regulatory approval for a new medical diagnostic device remains a significant hurdle.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom chemicals, printed electrodes, wireless electronics
