Medimark® Painmaster MCT Patch Single patient use micro current therapy patches. The use of low-level electrical stimulation for pain relief is not a new treatment. It has been used for years by athletic trainers and physical therapists to relieve pain from injuries and chronic muscle and skeletal discomfort . Those treatments are administered in an office using large machines. What is new is the Painmaster MCT Patch’s innovative patch system, which delivers 24-hour-a-day relief using electronic patches worn under your clothing, unseen by others. The patches look like the electrode patches used in a doctor’s office for administering electrocardiograms. They are applied and removed just as effortlessly. After placing the patches on either side of a painful or aching area, a very small amount of electrical current flows through the pain center to the other patch. A small red light on one patch shows the patch is working. The patch typically is effective for 500 hours of use. Remember, pain can be a symptom of physical illness or injury . Consult a physician for medical advice. This product is a non-medical method for treating pain and should never be used in place of seeing a doctor. Questions: Call Manufacturer at 1-800-356-1496 or Visit: www.patchmct.com | | Features: Will I feel any sensation? No, the current level is intentionally set below the level that can normally be felt. The red light will only go on when good contact is made with the body. Is the position critical for treatment? It is best to place the electrodes on both sides of the painful area. This may be left to right or up and down. Sometimes we cannot determine exactly where the pain is coming from and we suggest moving the electrode after 24 hours if relief is not felt. Fibromyalgia sufferers should keep the electrode in the same place 72 hours before moving. Where should I not place the electrode? Safety of use through the head and carotid sinus area of the neck has not been determined. Do not place in the areas shown on the drawing. How long will the power last? The battery will last for about 500 hours of total use. Battery life depends on the individual usage of the product and the conductivity of the skin.
