This technology comprises a "heating pad" operating on the principles of RF diathermy.
About
This technology comprises a "heating pad" operating on the principles of RF diathermy. The device operates at 915MHz and is sufficiently efficient to permit battery operation, and therefore portable use. The technology can be used as a stand-alone product or in combination with other therapeutic approaches (bandages, splints, negative pressure therapy, etc). The essence of the invention is the impedance matching technology developed to ensure efficient radiation from the antenna into the body despite the complex and differential impedance presented by the tissue-air interface existing at the surface of the body.
