Therapeutic patch for athletes
Recently, athletes began to appear at competitions with blue, red or colored stripes glued to their bodies.
Such strips are called kinesio tapes. Their purpose is to fix muscles and joints. This reduces the risk of injury during sports competitions. The special structure of the material stimulates lymph flow and blood circulation, which reduces pain and helps heal injuries. Therefore, the use of these therapeutic patches for athletes is important both as a prevention and as a treatment.
Applying such adhesive strips to the body is called taping.
Pain-relieving and warming adhesive plasters can help treat injuries sustained during sports. For example, the Vietnamese “Red Tiger” on a fabric basis. It helps to cope with pain in the back, neck, knee, shoulder girdle or lumbar region.
Why choose a patch?
Orthopedic patches are used for local treatment. The patches do not affect the cause of the disease. But they help get rid of pain in a short time, thus providing first aid.
Medicinal patches are prescribed by doctors in the following cases:
- pain after surgery or injections
- physical stress, injury
- rheumatic back diseases and inflammation of soft tissues developing against them
- diseases of the peripheral nervous system that are neuralgic in nature
- pain syndrome resulting from osteochondrosis and other joint diseases
The advantage is that it does not provoke side effects, since it does not affect other body systems. The effect is temporary, so it is recommended to combine the patch with other drugs.
Synthetic-based products are contraindicated for various skin diseases, hypersensitivity and open wounds on the skin. In most cases, such drugs are not recommended for use during pregnancy and childbearing, but everything is individual. Before using the product, consult your orthopedic doctor.

- relieving itching;
- disinfection.
A patch for the treatment of bedsores looks like a bandage, the top layer of which consists of breathable fabric, and the bottom layer of healing impregnation. Removal and replacement is carried out when it becomes wet.
Pros and cons of use in treatment
Chinese patches are easy to use - they stick well to the skin and are easy to remove. They are not noticeable under clothes and do not stain them or bedding. Transdermal products have a long-lasting therapeutic effect because the active ingredients are released slowly, gradually.
Their main disadvantage is their low therapeutic effect. They are able to temporarily reduce the severity of symptoms of any pathology, but cannot influence its cause.

Plaster for the treatment of pleurisy
Pleurisy is inflammation of the pulmonary and parietal pleural lobes. Symptoms similar to bronchitis:
- dyspnea;
- cough;
- chest pain;
- heat.
Treatment of this disease requires intensive care. A warming adhesive plaster can be an additional element. But it is used only if approved by a doctor, since overheating can cause fluid accumulation in the lungs.
Warming bandages are used to treat many colds and their consequences, such as sinusitis. Thanks to the thermal effect, mucus accumulated in the nose comes out naturally, making it easier for a person to breathe, relieving him of snoring and other unpleasant symptoms.
Therapeutic plasters for intercostal neuralgia
With intercostal neuralgia, nerves are pinched, which causes severe discomfort. A vicious circle is formed: pain - pinching - pain.
To break this endless connection, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs are used. Adhesive plasters, which contain diclofenac, ketorol, and voltaren, do an excellent job.
Pain-relieving stickers provide relief for any disease related to neurology. For example, with sciatica - pinching of the sciatic nerve, when discomfort occurs in the tailbone area.
Indications for use
Local remedies are used for the symptomatic treatment of both inflammatory and degenerative pathologies of the joints. These are rheumatoid, psoriatic, reactive, gouty arthritis. Chinese patches are used for the treatment of deforming osteoporosis, chronic synovitis, bursitis, tendonitis, tendovaginitis, and epicondylitis. They help cope with residual pain after fractures, dislocations, muscle strains, ruptured ligaments and tendons.
Smart patch for diabetes treatment
Adhesive plasters for diabetes, unfortunately, will not help get rid of the disease. But they relieve unpleasant symptoms, help stabilize the amount of sugar in the blood, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and reduce cholesterol levels.
Such medicinal patches are produced mainly in China, but are also popular in Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and other Asian countries.
Most medicinal patches from China for diabetes come in sets of 6 pieces. They are glued to the waist area, closer to the navel. There are many vessels in this place and the active substances are easily absorbed into the blood. Some products involve placement on the feet.
In America, a smart patch for diabetes is being developed. It is made using the latest technologies and is slightly larger than a coin. At its center there are microneedles that measure the level of insulin in the blood, and they also produce automatic injections. Wearing this diabetic umbilical patch is completely painless.
This innovative product has already been successfully tested on animals. An application has now been submitted for the first human study. If it is successful, almost 400 million people will have hope of getting rid of painful daily injections.
