Women suffer from lower urinary tract inflammation 50 times more frequently than men. This problem affects 20% of he female population, regardless of age – and the infections are highly recurrent. A default treatment method is pharmacological medication.

The system consists of underwear, a textronic insert permanently attached to the underwear, and a replaceable insert with applied essential oils with antiinflammatory and antibacterial effects. The textronic insert has two insulation layers with a textile heating element in between. The heating element is connected via a textile signal line with a temperature controller, also integrated with the underwear.

This technology may find applications in production of therapeutic underwear.

THE SYSTEM DOES NOT CONSTRAIN PATIENT’S MOBLITY / TREATMENT SUPPORT AND PROPHYLAXY OF INFECTIONS / IMPROVED PATIENT’S COMFORT
