German Scientists invent color changing bandages

color-changing-bandages-1.jpg I am one of those accident prone folks, who somehow end up hurting themselves every now and then. In fact there are days when people even ask me how come I don’t have a band aid on my hand or leg. Given the close relationship I share with bandages, I was intrigued by this unique invention which I am sure will appeal to not just accident prone folks like me but even the most careful ones. Most of us usually take the band aid off before the wound has completely healed and thus need to put one again. But thanks to this new invention by scientists you will know exactly when your wound is healed in order to avoid the pain of pulling that band aid off at the wrong time. Scientists at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Modular Solid State Technologies EMFT have invented color-coded dyes for bandages that react to changing pH values in the wound below without disturbing it. If your wound is fine, the pH level will read 5 but if it reads between 6.5 and 8.5, an infection is likely and the dye turns a shade of purple.
