Apparatus And Method For Using A Portable Thermal Device To Reduce Accommodation Of Nerve Receptors
US Patent:
2011030, Dec 15, 2011
Filed:
Jan 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/004746
Inventors:
Peter J. Dunbar - Mercer Island WA, US
Charles Chabal - Bellevue WA, US
Charles Chabal - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
Carewave, Inc. - Seattle WA
International Classification:
A61M 37/00, A61N 1/36, A61F 7/08
US Classification:
604291, 607 96, 607 3, 607109, 607111
Abstract:
A system and method for portably delivering a therapeutic dose of heat to the skin to relieve pain, reduce accommodation of thermal nerve receptors, promote healing, and deliver transcutaneous medications. The heating device is user programmable or pre-programmed to deliver according to a variety of cycles, patterns and algorithms. The cycles, patterns, and algorithms of the heat are programmable parameters, are under the user's control, and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the device. The heating algorithms are designed to interact with an individual user's thermal nerve receptors and other tissue characteristics and to reduce the tendency of the receptors to accommodate to the external stimuli with back pain, muscular pain, dysmenorrhea, headaches, fibromyalgia, post-herpetic neuralgia, nerve injuries and neuropathies, and sprains and strain. The device can also be used in conjunction with existing medical devices such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators (TENS) to increase the effectiveness of TENS devices.

Devices And Methods For Therapeutic Heat Treatment
US Patent:
8579953, Nov 12, 2013
Filed:
Dec 8, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/330495
Inventors:
Peter J. Dunbar - Mercer Island WA, US
Charles Chabal - Bellevue WA, US
Charles Chabal - Bellevue WA, US
International Classification:
A61F 7/00, A61F 7/12
US Classification:
607 96, 607 99
Abstract:
Devices and methods for providing therapeutic heating are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the system includes a device body configured to provide heat to a portion of skin. The device body also includes a low-level heating region and a high-level heating area. The low-level heating region provides a continuous amount of heat at a first temperature, and the high-level heating area provides an intermittent amount of heat at a second temperature greater than the first temperature.
