Claims24
A therapeutic apparatus for treating damaged tissue on a limb or body portion of a subject, said therapeutic apparatus comprising:
- a wearable adapted to cover and be secured to the limb or body portion of a subject over damaged tissue, said wearable configured to contact the limb or body portion around the damaged tissue but being configured to off-load pressure from the damaged tissue but in the presence of atmospheric pressure;
- and
- said wearable adapted to apply electrical current to induce electrical stimulation and to globally warm the limb or body portion at the same time as applying the electrical current to raise the temperature of the limb or body portion and not just provide local warming of the damaged tissue wherein at least 40% of the limb or body portion is warmed.
A therapeutic apparatus for treating damaged tissue on a limb or body portion of a subject, said therapeutic apparatus comprising:
- a wearable to cover and be secured to the limb or body portion of the subject over damaged tissue, and said wearable being configured to off-load pressure from the damaged tissue;
- a pair of electrodes to apply electrical stimulation to the damaged tissue;
- and
- said wearable being adapted to apply one or more treatments selected from the group consisting of (1) heat wherein the heat applies global warming to the limb or body portion of the subject, (2) oxygen wherein the oxygen is directed to the damaged tissue, and (2) light wherein the light is directed to the damaged tissue.
