About The Product

What is Artcure®?

Artcure® PW Diffusional Patch is a Class IIb medical device designed to alleviate and treat lumbar and cervical disc herniation through a non-invasive transdermal diffusion mechanism.

Osmotic Diffusion

Low-density herbal lipids diffuse through polar cavities into the nucleus pulposus, reducing intra-disc osmolarity and disc volume.

Natural Herbal Oils

Contains 6 plant-based oils: thyme, lemon, black seed, rosemary, chamomile, and laurel — in a terpene/terpenoid gel formulation.

Fast Relief

Significant pain reduction within 24 hours. Near-maximum performance reached by the end of 48 hours after application.

Clinically Proven

Multiple randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies demonstrate statistically significant improvements in pain and function.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Important information about Artcure® for patients and healthcare professionals.

Artcure® PW Diffusional Patch is a Class IIb medical device designed for the non-surgical treatment of lumbar and cervical disc herniations. It works through transdermal diffusion of a proprietary herbal formulation that promotes the natural resorption (shrinkage) of herniated disc material.

Artcure® is classified as a Class IIb medical device under EU Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, not a pharmaceutical medicine. It is CE marked (Notified Body NB 1783) and registered with the UK MHRA.

While Artcure® does not require a prescription in the UK, we strongly recommend that you use it under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

Artcure® is indicated specifically for lumbar disc herniation and cervical disc herniation. It is not intended for other spinal conditions, general back pain without a confirmed disc herniation diagnosis, or any non-spinal musculoskeletal conditions.

A standard treatment course is 4 weeks with continuous patch application as directed. Clinical studies showed significant pain reduction (VAS scores) within 24–48 hours, with continued improvement and MRI-confirmed disc resorption over the 4-week period. Individual results may vary.

Artcure® is contraindicated in the following cases: pregnancy or breastfeeding, known allergy to herbal oils or any patch component, open wounds or skin conditions at the application site, active skin infections in the treatment area, patients under 18 years of age, and those with severe systemic conditions unless cleared by a physician. If any of these apply, do not purchase or use the product — consult your doctor instead.

The most commonly reported side effect is mild, temporary skin redness or irritation at the application site, which typically resolves on its own. In clinical studies involving 200+ participants, no serious adverse effects were reported. If you experience severe irritation, blistering, or an allergic reaction, remove the patch immediately and seek medical advice.

Yes. Artcure® has been evaluated in multiple peer-reviewed, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies at leading university hospitals including Dışkapı Training & Research Hospital, Yıldırım Beyazıt University, and İnönü University Faculty of Medicine. Results have been published in indexed medical journals and demonstrate statistically significant pain reduction and functional improvement.

Artcure® may be used alongside physiotherapy and standard pain management under your physician's guidance. However, do not apply other topical treatments to the same skin area simultaneously. Always inform your healthcare provider about all treatments you are using.

We have partnered with EG Health (eghealth.co.uk) to offer Artcure® patients a £50 discount on MRI scans. This helps patients obtain the diagnostic imaging needed to confirm their disc herniation diagnosis. Simply mention Artcure® when booking your scan at EG Health.

Yes. We've partnered with Bubu Wellness Centre (bubucentre.co.uk) in London, who offer two options: In-Clinic Treatment, where you receive a professional assessment with physiotherapy or sports massage followed by Artcure® application by a qualified practitioner; or Home Application, where you purchase Artcure® at the clinic with professional guidance on correct application technique to continue treatment at home.

Due to the nature of Artcure® as a medical device, opened and used products cannot be returned for hygiene and safety reasons. Unopened products may be returned within 14 days of delivery in their original sealed packaging. Please contact us at the details provided on our Contact page to arrange a return.

No. While clinical evidence demonstrates statistically significant improvements in pain scores and disc resorption, individual results may vary. Artcure® is not a guaranteed cure. It is a treatment option that should be part of a broader care plan under medical supervision. We make no claims beyond what is supported by the published clinical data.
