Pain relief utilizing a combination of polymer based materials
View Patent ↗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.
1. A method of treating pain comprising the steps of:
placing a composite of noble metal, PVDF film and a polarizer in a package; wherein the PVDF film is disposed between the noble metal and the polarizer,
placing the package in association with a pain site on a body; and
waiting until the pain has diminished before removing the package from the site of the pain.
2. A method of treating pain comprising the steps of:
placing a composite of noble metal, PVDF film and a polarizer in a package; wherein the PVDF film is disposed between the noble metal and the polarizer,
placing the package in association with a pain site on a body within one half inch of the skin of the body; and
waiting until the pain has diminished before removing the package from the site of the pain.
3. A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein the layers are 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 to create a layer on at least one side of the combination.
4. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said noble metal is sprayed onto said PVDF film.
5. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the composite is integrated with a device capable of placing the composite in a location defined by inflammatory pain emanating from a human body.
6. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said composite is associated with adhesive film to permit placement wherever needed in response to inflammatory pain.
7. A method in accordance with 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.
