Abstract:
A non-invasive peripheral pain relief device provides pain relief from skin injury such as burns, avulsions, lacerations and scrapes without the use of pharmaceuticals or invasive treatments. The device uses the body's own physiology, specifically lateral inhibition, to give both temporary and sustained relief of pain. This process uses the body's own neurotransmitter mechanisms to control pain without pharmaceuticals or invasive treatments. Varying, extremely light, bursts of air are applied sequentially to the periwound to affect relief centrally.
