"The technology might also keep milk from spoiling, wipe out bacteria inside juice boxes, and even reduce the number of infections associated with hospital catheters."(Israel)—Acne sufferers may have reason to rejoice soon. A medical company called Oplon in Rehovot, Israel, has developed a patch that "radiates an 'energy field' said to be capable of knocking out acne for good."
Besides an acne application for the product, Oplon believes the technology might also keep milk from spoiling, wipe out bacteria inside juice boxes, and even reduce the number of infections associated with hospital catheters.
As reported in The Jerusalem Post, "Oplon works its magic by manufacturing polymers—a type of plastic—that have a very specific function: They disable microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. (Photo: Israel21c)Omer Gonen, Oplon's CFO, was quoted as saying the energy field is safe. "It doesn't radiate, it doesn't heat and it doesn't chill," he said, noting that the polymers create an energy field "that can kill every microbe ever heard of."
Added Gonen: "Oplon's acne treatment consists of a patch with the polymers inside which the acne sufferer applies overnight. Within six hours, the redness, pus and pain associated with the acne will be significantly reduced. After 24 hours, the spot will be practically fully healed. In most cases, it's a one-time treatment."
The acne patch is not considered a drug and will not need a prescription to purchase. It will continue to be on trial in Israel before marketing begins in the U.S. and Europe.
