Pressure-Responsive Fibers Could Lead to Color-Changing Bandages

Engineers at MIT have developed photonic fibers that change color in response to pressure. The innovation could lead to color-changing bandages that allow clinicians to easily know if they’re tight enough or too tight.

Compression stockings and bandages are a common treatment for venous ulcers. However, it can be difficult to tell if an opti (Read more...)
