Abstract
A therapeutic mat for application to a person includes a relatively elastic substrate of a predetermined size, a hydrogel substance connected to the elastic substrate, and a plurality of microcrystals dispersed throughout the hydrogel substance. The therapeutic mat may further include retaining straps connectable to the elastic substrate and of a size and configuration to extend about the part of the body for supporting the therapeutic mat in a relatively fixed position.
Claims8
A therapeutic mat for application to a person and an animal, which includes:
- a substrate;
- a hydrogel substance connectedly applied to said substrate;
- and
- a plurality of micro crystal in powder form dispersed throughout said hydrogel substance, wherein said substrate exhibits sufficient elasticity to accommodate expansion which occurs during absorption of fluid by said hydrogel substance, and sufficient strength and inelasticity to maintain said gel substance in a relatively fixed position with respect to said substrate as the fluid is absorbed.
