BlueTouch pain relief patch

Highlights
World-first
The use of blue LED light for treating back pain
is a world-first in new approaches to therapy.
Philips BlueTouch makes pain relief
possible without the use of drugs: the blue
LED light exclusively supports the body’s own
processes for helping with pain relief.
BlueTouch has been specially developed for
use on the upper and/or lower regions of the
back. Thanks to its drug free mode of action,
this application represents a substance-free
alternative to medicinal products. Philips
BlueTouch is available prescription-free in
pharmacies.
Substance-free alternative
The blue light supports the body’s own
processes. When blue LED light hits the
human skin, the body’s own supplies of nitric
oxide (NO) molecules are released and
transported to the muscle causing pain. This
small molecule has a great effect: Side effects,
as may occur with drug-based treatments, are
therefore excluded.
Warmth and nitric oxide
Aside from its noticeable soothing warmth, the
blue LED light stimulates the production of
nitric oxide (NO) in the body. NO promotes the
circulation. As a consequence, the supply of
oxygen and nutrients to the muscle is
improved, and at the same time pain
transmission is reduced. The muscles can relax
and pain is relieved. NO is said to have
antioxidant, cytoprotective and anti-
inflammatory characteristics. It is thus able to
protect muscles and nerves against damage
and prevent further injuries. Philips BlueTouch
can therefore not only bring pain relief but also
act as a preventive measure.
Back Straps
Thanks to the comfortable, individually
adjustable back straps, Philips BlueTouch can
be worn discreetly under your clothes. The
fastening straps made of high-grade textiles
have been specially developed for the upper
and lower regions of the back. Simply insert
BlueTouch into the opening in the back strap
provided, then place the back strap against the
body and secure it using the Velcro fasteners.
This makes BlueTouch comfortable to wear at
any time, both at home and on the move.
Duration of treatment
Philips BlueTouch can be used up to twice a
day. The length of each treatment depends on
the intensity level selected. In Mode 1 (gentle),
the device should be used for a maximum of
30 minutes, in Mode 2 (medium) for 20
minutes and in Mode 3 (intense) for 15 minutes.
Intensity levels can be selected to match your
own preferences. They differ in terms of light
intensity and temperature.
Thanks to the mode of action of blue LED light,
BlueTouch can contribute to effective relief of
back pain when used every day.
Mobile and discreet
Daily back pain therapy with Philips BlueTouch
can be conveniently integrated into your daily
routine. The appliance is battery-
operated, which means that is does not need
any cables. You can therefore move freely
during treatment. Thanks to its compact size,
BlueTouch can also be discreetly worn
underneath your clothing. During treatment
you can also go about your daily activities,
such as going to the office and doing
housework or shopping.
Safety
Philips BlueTouch is totally safe to use. The
combination of blue light and warmth
encourages repair of damaged muscles
through increased blood circulation and
enhanced nutrient and oxygen supply.; Side
effects, as may occur with drug-based
treatments, are therefore excluded. As soon as
you switch on the appliance, the LED unit
lights up in low power feedback mode. You can
therefore look into the blue light without any
cause for concern. BlueTouch does not develop
its full luminous power until the sensor on the
appliance has contact with the skin. It switches
off automatically after the treatment. A
temperature sensor also monitors your skin
temperature.
Simple cleaning
Philips BlueTouch is straightforward to clean:
simply wipe the surface with a moist, soft cloth
or clean it with a very soft brush. Please do not
immerse the device in water or hold it under
flowing water. The back straps can be cleaned
in a washing machine at 30 degrees.
