Manufacturer's Description:

When soft tissue is damaged the cells separate to prevent the transmission of infection. The cells leak fluid and cellular components break down while the cellular debris causes inflammation, swelling and pain. ActiPatch stabilizes the leaking cell membranes by, in effect, recharging the membrane. The pulsed energy delivered by ActiPatch drives out the edematous fluid along with the by products of the damaged tissue.  ActiPatch causes a reduction in the swelling (edema) and inflammation that occurs after tissue injury - a true and beneficial acceleration in the inflammatory process which occurs in virtually all wounds and tissue injuries, and an integral component of normal healing.
