Deep treatment dressings
A deep treatment bioelectric device includes multiple electrodes joined with a planar substrate.
1. A deep tissue treatment device comprising a substrate layer comprising a pliable material comprising two biocompatible electrodes configured to generate a uniform low level electric field (LLEF) to a depth of at least 10 mm, wherein at least one of said electrodes comprises a serpentine region, wherein the first electrode is formed from a first conductive material, and the second electrode is formed from a second conductive material, and wherein the two biocompatible electrodes spontaneously generate the LLEF.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode and the second electrode spontaneously generate a LLEC when contacted with an electrolytic solution or with a conductive fluid.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the LLEF is at least 1.0 Volt.
4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the LLEF is at least 3.0 Volts.
5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the LLEF is at least 6.0 Volts.
6. The device of claim 2 , wherein the LLEC is between 400 and 450 micro-amperes.
7. The device of claim 2 , wherein the LLEC is between 450 and 500 micro-amperes.
8. The device of claim 2 , wherein the LLEC is between 500 and 550 micro-amperes.
9. The device of claim 1 , further comprising an expandable absorbent layer, wherein the expandable absorbent layer can, upon exposure to a liquid, expand away from a treatment area.
