Treat bites within seconds with your smartphone. Simply insert heat it® into the charging port and the corresponding app opens. If necessary, you can now customize the treatment. After a short warm-up, the contact surface of the heat it® is placed on the bite. Depending on the setting in the app, the treatment takes 4, 7 or 9 seconds and reaches a temperature between 47 and 52 °C. The app gives you feedback as soon as the treatment is successfully completed.

Application

To relieve itching and pain, the affected skin area is briefly heated to approx. 51 °C. The skin's nerves react to this heat impulse. According to the current state of research, it is assumed that this reduces the transmission of stimuli. This means that the itching signal can no longer be transmitted properly and the need to scratch disappears. In order to achieve this anti-itching effect on the skin nerves, a short heat pain is necessary. This medically proven active principle of hyperthermia can be used for mosquito, horsefly, bee and wasp stings.

For the clinical evaluation as a certified medical device, we worked with Prof. Maurer from the Charité Berlin.
