Abstract

A pain relief device and method or system to aid in the resolution of pain in a body including at least one layer of PVDF film and at least one other layer for directional purposes, as well as a polarizing layer. The device can be packaged in various ways.

Claims (24)

1. A pain relief assembly for pain relief, wherein said assembly comprises:

a composite comprising:

a first layer forming a base having a noble metal as an element of the material;

a second layer disposed on said first layer, wherein said second layer includes a PVDF film;

a third layer disposed on said second layer including a polarizer; and

a package containing the composite and configured to be applied to a person's body to relieve pain.

2. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said package is a flexible package.

3. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said package can be adapted to come into contact with the outer skin.

4. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the composite is integrated with a package capable of placing the composite in a location defined by inflammatory pain emanating from a human body.

5. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the composite is integrated with a package capable of placing the composite in a location defined by inflammatory pain emanating from an animal.

6. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said first layer is sprayed onto said second and third layers.

7. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said composite can be associated with a shoe for foot pain.

8. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , adapted for placement at an acupuncture meridian for treatment.

9. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said composite is associated with adhesive film to permit placement wherever needed in response to inflammatory pain.

10. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the adhesive is further defined as an adhesive bandage.

11. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a laser light therapy source wherein the laser light is transmitted through said composite into a body.

12. A method of forming a pain relief composite comprising:

providing a first layer forming a base having a noble metal as an element of the material;

applying a second layer to said first layer, wherein said second layer includes a PVDF film; and

applying a third layer to said second layer, wherein said third layer includes including a polarizer; and

packaging the layers in a package configured to be applied to a person's body at a location defined by inflammatory pain for the purpose of relieving the inflammatory pain.

13. The method as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the layers are formed by taking said PVDF layer and dipping it on both sides into a bath of polyvinyl alcohol combined with iodine (to cause a polarizing effect) as a polarizing layer on both sides of the PVDF film layer, then spraying that combination with a conductive noble metal copper to create a layer on at least one side of the combination.

14. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the composite is formed by taking said PVDF film and dipping it on both sides into a bath of polyvinyl alcohol combined with iodine to cause a polarizing effect as a polarizing layer on both sides of the PVDF film, then spraying that combination with a conductive noble metal of the first layer to create a layer on at least one side of the combination of the polarizing layer and the PVDF film.

15. The pain relief assembly as set forth in claim 14 , wherein said noble metal is sprayed onto said PVDF film.
