Disclosed is an electrode system for facilitating the healing of a wound, comprising a support structure, a first electrode attached to the support structure, a first adhesive material attached to the first electrode, wherein the first adhesive material is an electrically conductive material, wherein the first adhesive material attaches the first electrode to the wound when the electrode system is applied to the wound, and wherein the first adhesive material is attached to the first electrode such that when the electrode system is applied to the wound, the first electrode is not directly in contact with the wound, and a second electrode attached to the support structure, wherein the second electrode surrounds the first electrode on the support structure and wherein when the electrode system is applied to the wound and when a voltage potential is applied across the first and the second electrodes, a current is caused to flow between the first and the second electrodes, thereby passing through the wound.
