Mechanism of Action

Artcure® Diffusional Patch is not a medicine. Its effects are mechanical. The system achieving such mechanical effect is the formed fatty molecules inside Artcure®.

Disc is a tissue without venous structure, so it does not nurtured by blood. Diffusion is what makes the disc remained nurtured. The inner portion is a gel-like substance. The outer ring is a controlled semi permeable structure. Permeability increases in the corrupted or ruptured disc section due to herniation, making penetration of the formed fatty molecules inside Artcure possible. Artcure® may not penetrate the healthy disc with an intact outer ring. Therefore, it only affects the herniated section.

With the penetration of formed fatty molecules with low concentration to the herniated section, osmotic pressure in the herniated disc section is reduced. Concentration and viscosity of the herniated disc section also decrease compared to the surrounding tissues. Liquid inside the herniated hyposmolar disc is dislocated towards the surrounding tissues with more hyposmolarity. Thus, mass of the herniated disk is reduced as well as its pressure on the nerve tissue. As a result, Artcure® is a non-invasive method that can be tried before surgical operations.
