The electroactive material’s makers say it can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria and battle body odor

At the bottom of its webpage only one comment had been left by a viewer:

A number of metals, zinc and silver among them, have been used (as cations) to combat bacteria. Frequently they are administered as a compound, e.g. silver sulfadiazine or zinc undecylanoate. One could incorporate the metals into a cathodic bandage (bandage bondage, as it were) for additional tissue or biofilm penetration, perhaps. I think the incorporation of quat ammonium onto fibers, or fabric derivatization to achieve active-chlorine carrying sites (i.e. a reusable, bleach-power carrying bandage) are more promising. Other moieties also possible -- peroxides, oxiranes, etc. but why would you bother?
I lack any cartoonist drawing skills, but surely someone versed in the art could use the expression, "bandage bondage" , and come up with something humorous.
