Anticipated effects of electrical stimulation polarity on wound healing15,16

Negative Polarity Positive Polarity
Increase blood flow Hemostasis
Stimulation granulation and collagen production Denatures protein
Fibroblast proliferation and activated neutrophil migration Macrophage and neutrophil migration
Decreased edema and necrotic tissue Decreases number of mast cells
Epidermal migration
