ION Wound Care

Bioelectric Wound Healing,
Engineered for Restoration

ION Wound Care coats elemental zinc onto clinical materials such as collagen, hydrocolloids, and other wound care substrates to generate passive bioelectric microcurrent directly at the wound interface. With no wires or external power, the technology is designed for dressings, patches, and iontophoretic delivery applications.

The Principle

Healing Depends on
More Than Coverage

Wound Healing is inherently bioelectric. Injury disrupts the body’s natural electrical gradients that help direct cell migration, tissue remodeling, and collagen organization (Isseroff & Dahle, 2012; Singer & Clark, 1999).

ION Wound Care builds on this principle by coating elemental zinc onto clinical carrier materials using a proprietary process. The resulting dressings and patches generate a passive, continuous low-level microcurrent directly at the wound interface.

Circulation & Oxygen Delivery

ZnTech™ stimulates localized blood flow, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to the wound environment and supporting the removal of cellular waste — conditions directly relevant to healing rate and tissue quality.

Bioelectric Balance Restoration

Injury disrupts local voltage gradients. Passive microcurrent at the wound interface helps re-establish the bioelectric conditions associated with cell signaling, migration, and organized tissue repair.

Collagen Stimulation

Microcurrent is associated with enhanced collagen production and protein synthesis (Cheng et al., 1982). ZnTech is designed to support collagen-related tissue responses relevant to wound closure and skin repair.

Bacterial and Fungal Protection

ZnTech™ creates an inhospitable environment for bacteria and fungi at the wound interface — supporting hygienic wound conditions and reducing the microbial burden that slows healing.

Iontophoresis — Enhanced Delivery

ZnTech™ Microcurrent enables iontophoresis, using low-level electrical current to enhance transdermal delivery of ionic compounds. In IPS testing (2021), ZnTech™ achieved measurable topical compound absorption within one second, while control fabric showed no transfer. These findings support its potential as a passive platform for pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical delivery—without the need for an external device.

Woundcare Applications

Wound Care Dressings

Wound Care dressings made by coating elemental zinc onto collagen, hydrocolloids, and other clinical substrates using Ion Technologies’ proprietary process. Designed to generate passive microcurrent at the wound interface, these dressings have potential applications in chronic wound care and post-surgical healing.

Status: In Development / Trials

Over-The-Counter Dressings

Consumer-accessible dressing formats using zinc-coated carrier materials adapted for over-the-counter use — targeting minor wound care, skin repair, and everyday protective dressing applications where passive bioelectric support may offer benefit.

Status: In Development / Trials

Iontophoresis Patches —
Pharmaceutical Delivery

Patch formats designed to enable passive transdermal delivery of ionic pharmaceutical compounds — eliminating the need for an external iontophoresis device. Target applications include pain management, anti-inflammatory delivery, and dermatological treatments.

Status: In Development / Trials

Iontophoresis Patches —
Cosmeceutical Delivery

Patch formats designed to enhance absorption of cosmeceutical active ingredients — serums, peptides, collagen-stimulating compounds — through passive ZnTech™-driven iontophoresis. A no-device alternative to current electroporation and iontophoresis beauty devices.
