Abstract

A medical device includes a substrate, a magnetic field emitter disposed on a side of the substrate, and an adhesive on the side of the substrate opposite the emitter.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wearable healing device comprising:
 a substrate;   a magnetic field emitter disposed on a first side of the substrate;   an adhesive for retaining the substrate on a user's skin;   a power source powering the magnetic field emitter disposed on the substrate; and   a controller controlling a magnetic field emitted by the magnetic field emitter.   
     
     
         2 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the controller modulates the magnetic field emitted by the magnetic field emitter. 
     
     
         3 . The healing device of  claim 2 , wherein the power source is a battery. 
     
     
         4 . The healing device of  claim 2 , wherein the power source is a field generator generating a field that will inductively charge the device. 
     
     
         5 . The healing device of  claim 4 , wherein the field generated by the field generator is different from the field generated by the magnetic field emitter. 
     
     
         6 . The healing device of  claim 1 , further comprising a removable backing applied over the adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the substrate is flexible. 
     
     
         8 . The healing device of  claim 7 , wherein the magnetic field emitter is affixed to the substrate. 
     
     
         9 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the substrate is non-ferrous. 
     
     
         10 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is formed on the substrate. 
     
     
         11 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field emitter comprises an electromagnetic coil. 
     
     
         12 . The orthopedic device of  claim 11 , further comprising a controller for controlling the electromagnetic field emitted by the electromagnetic coil. 
     
     
         13 . The healing device of  claim 1 , further comprising a top cover disposed over the magnetic field emitter. 
     
     
         14 . The healing device of  claim 13 , wherein the top cover is fixed to the substrate about a periphery of the magnetic field emitter. 
     
     
         15 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field emitter is at least one permanent magnet and the at least one permanent magnet is actuated to modulate its field. 
     
     
         16 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field emitter is a plurality of permanent magnets actuated relative to each other. 
     
     
         17 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 120 Hz. 
     
     
         18 . The healing device of  claim 17 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 60 Hz. 
     
     
         19 . The healing device of  claim 18 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 30 Hz. 
     
     
         20 . The healing device of  claim 19 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 15 Hz. 
     
     
         21 . The healing device of  claim 20 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 5 Hz. 
     
     
         22 . The healing device of  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 1000 Gauss. 
     
     
         23 . The healing device of  claim 22 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 500 Gauss. 
     
     
         24 . The healing device of  claim 23 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 250 Gauss. 
     
     
         25 . The healing device of  claim 24 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 100 Gauss. 
     
     
         26 . The healing device of  claim 25 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 50 Gauss. 
     
     
         27 . The healing device of  claim 26 , wherein the magnetic field emitter emits a field of less than about 10 Gauss. 
     
     
         28 . A healing device comprising:
 a first substrate;   a top cover affixed to the first substrate to form a compartment therebetween;   an electromagnetic field emitter disposed on the first substrate in the compartment, encapsulated between the first substrate and the top cover;   a disposable substrate having adhesive on a first side for adhering the disposable substrate to a user's epidermis and adhesive on a second side, opposite the first side, for adhering to the first substrate.   
     
     
         29 . The healing device of  claim 28 , wherein the adhesive on the first side of the disposable substrate extends substantially about a perimeter of the disposable substrate.
