ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR REFLEXOTHERAPY Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: medical equipment. SUBSTANCE: the electronic device uses a compact casing with a cover and insert of transparent material in the upper part, which accommodates a power source, optical indicator and an electronic unit supplemented with an audio warning device. A simulating end-piece of metal in the form of a sleeve is available outside the casing, on its front end; the end-piece serves as a passive electrode, whose lower part has an annular cylindrical cavity. Positioned in the center of the passive electrode is a needle active electrode dielectrically insulated from it, the working end of the active electrode has the shape of a hemisphere. The height of the annular cavity is equal to at least two diameters of the active electrode. The passive and active electrodes make up part of the electronic starter of the electronic unit and switch of the device automatically at closing through the skin. EFFECT: improved design. 2 cl, 2 dwg
