Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hi, Jack. Did you check the voltage, and also the amperage when in use? Do I understand that the electrode patches are only about 5 inches apart when used? Then obviously, they are to be applied on both sides of the pain. Right? Dick Painmaster MCT Patch I have in front of me a device that came on the market recently. It's called a " Painmaster MCT Patch " . This is plain and simply a microcurrent device. Overal it's about the size of a quarter and just a little thicker. It has a snap on the back for a sticky conductor like used with TENS units and there's a 4 or 5 inch wire with the other polaritiy to snap on a sticy device. It has a life of 500 hours and costs about $25 on the internet. I disected one and found a button battery and a small circuit board about the size of a nickle. The circuit boards only function is to provide for a LED indicator using a transistor and a couple of resistors. The current from the battery goes directly to each conductor. Like the Godzilla the current that flows is a function of skin resistance. The directions suggests a minimum application of 3 to 5 days continuous. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Yes it's designed to have a patch each side of the pain. It's limited according to our standard but certainly OK for the use stated. No I didn't measure the current. The one I dissected had been used for many hours and I just measured the voltage and it measure one volt which leads me to believe it's a 1.25 volt battery (a button battery) I don't think I have your email I could send you the pictures I took of the dissected assembly, pretty interesting actually. jack.mill@...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Oh my chiropractor gave me two of them but I priced them out on the net and even if they say prescription required I have often found them available on the net. They priced out at $27 in single lots and I think about $25 in lots of three or something on that order. A Google search did the job.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hi JACK, That is a neat product, gives me ideas for soem new ways to do things.. I also found this battery website with some specialty batteries on it near the bottom they have batteries that go up to 510 volts amazingly http://www.batterycountry.com/ShopSite/specialty-cell.html Take care, V Join My Newsletter Today http://www.health-freedom.info/ > Yes it's designed to have a patch each side of the pain.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Is the battery replaceable in these? There's only be about 20 days of continuos use if not. Apparently it can't switch polarities? samala " tossed down to live among angels, who have forgotten what they are, I strive to remember " RLV 1998 -------Original Message------- It has a life of 500 hours and costs about $25 on the internet.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 No they are not replaceable it's meant to be disposable. Re: Painmaster MCT Patch Is the battery replaceable in these?
