ELECTRIC STIMULATION DEVICE FOR TREATING GASTROENTERIC TRACT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has hermetically sealed capsule having two cup-shaped electrodes one of which has suction openings and has connecting pipe for making connection to catheter tube. Hybrid integral circuit is mounted in the capsule comprising oscillator for producing stimulating pulses connected to output unit via frequency divider and to unit for measuring impedance via restricting resistor. The unit for measuring impedance has output connected via amplifier to output unit input and synchronization unit input which output is connected to control input of the oscillator for producing stimulating pulses. The output unit is connected to electrodes being also measuring electrodes of the unit for measuring impedance having electronic key for making connection to common power supply bus. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; avoided adverse side effects. 2 dwg
