An apparatus, method and kit are provided for managing a wound in an animal subject. More specifically, an expandable device, which is wound conforming, in direct contact with the wound, and drives wound healing ions into wound tissue, a method for driving wound healing ions into the wound tissue by applying an ionizing current, and a kit for driving wound healing ions into the wound tissue powered by a portable power source are provided. The apparatus, method and kit can be used to increase the penetration of a wound healing agent in the wound tissue, and thus potentially decrease healing time, likelihood of infection, and prevalence of chronic wounds.
