HEALING DISC, A PAIN MANAGEMENT ASSEMBLY INCORPORATING THE DISC, AND A METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

A portable, wearable device for managing pain and promoting healing, a management assembly including such a device, and a method of using the same. The device includes a housing defining a cavity; a microprocessor situated within the cavity; a power source operatively connected with the microprocessor; and a pair of electrodes. The electrodes are mounted in apertures in a bottom wall of the housing and extend for a distance there beyond. One or more mounting assemblies are used with the device to provide a management assembly. The mounting assembly may be a strap having a retaining ring into which the device fits, or an adhesive patch configured to receive the device. The device is engaged with the mounting assembly and then positioned adjacent the patient's skin. When activated, the device generates a current which passes from one electrode through the patient's skin to the other electrode thereby mitigating pain.
