Recently, the idea of delivering oxygen topically has attracted the attention of researchers and clinicians and if successful would be a major breakthrough in the treatment of recalcitrant and chronic wounds. This technology appears to be at hand and is based on a bioengineered singular type of water with regenerative engendering properties. Chief among them is the water’s ability to deliver oxygen to hypoxic cells. Furthermore, the water also contains ‘bioactive lipids’ in the form of g... view moreĀ»
