Example of the proposed use of an induction diathermy physiotherapy device (A) to a victim bitten by a rabid animal at the gastrocnemius area. The alternating magnetic flux emitted by the drum applicator (B) generates Eddy current within the targeted tissue. A towel (C) is placed between the applicator and the subject to remove any superficial water (e.g. sweat, moisture) which could concentrate electric current and produce excessive localised heat. This setting could replace Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) in Rabies post-exposure prophylaxis.
