DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC STIMULATING OF DAMAGED OSSEOUS TISSUES Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: traumatology. SUBSTANCE: device has fastener made of rod and head, which are used in traumathology. There is own electric field onto the surface of fastener, which field is formed by electrodes of galvanic cell. The field is equal or close to electric field of human body. Own electric field is formed by surfaces of metal with different electro-chemical potentials : copper-stainless steel. As a result, fastener introduced into osseous tissue, acts as a fastener for damaged parts. It also continuously provides damaged parts with current by acting on membrane potential of muscular tissue. Power supply of osseous tissue of muscles is carried out through circulation of the blood. Speed of propagation of potential is equal to the order of 5 m/s. EFFECT: simplification; improved comfort. 3 cl, 5 dwg
