ABSTRACT:
An electronic patch device which attaches to the surface of the body for preventing nerves from transmitting "pain" information to the brain. The device has a slim profile and comprises a circuit layer which supports an electronic circuit, a double sided adhesive layer, a top layer which seals the circuit layer from moisture and a backing layer. A cathode and an anode are disposed in apertures of the adhesive layer and make electrical contact with respective pins of the electronic circuit in the circuit layer. On opposite surfaces the cathode and anode are exposed to make contact with the skin of a patient when the backing layer is removed.
