Abstract

A system for the delivery of chemical vasodilators into the skin for the purpose of increasing the blood flow in a tissue that exhibits compromised circulation. The designated purpose of this increased blood flow is to transiently reverse or inhibit or prevent the onset of an associated medical affliction that may in part or in whole, be either the consequence of that medical condition or participating in the clinical symptoms and etiology of that medical condition. The process and the effect of the topical delivery of a chemical vasodilator has been previously demonstrated for other medical and pharmaceutical applications, however the specific use of this class of drug molecules for the focused effect of improving blood flow to the skin and surrounding tissue with the goal of improving the metabolic health of the tissue and to possibly affect the symptoms of a medical condition is the specific aim of this patent.
