DEVICE FOR PERFORMING ORGAN AND TISSUE ELECTROSTIMULATION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has body and electrodes for stimulating gastroenteric tract insulated one from the other. Impulse oscillator has power supply source like galvanic element. An additional electrode is electrically insulated from the other the stimulating electrodes and device body. It is manufactured from a material electrochemical potential of which is different from electrochemical potential of one of stimulating electrode or metal part of device body allowing to create galvanic element between them. Space fillable with organism media is available between the additional electrode and one of stimulating electrodes or device body. Impulse oscillator is mounted in sealed compartment. EFFECT: prolonged service life; improved safety features. 5 cl, 4 dwg, 1 tbl
