ELECTRIC NEUROADAPTIVE STIMULATOR AND ELECTRODE DEVICE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has DC power supply source, unit for shaping trigger pulses, electrode unit, bisectional highly regenerative inductance coil, N electronic controlled keys for switching-in active electrode mode, N electrodes of electrode unit, key amplifier, N electronic controlled keys for switching-in electrode unit electrodes into passive electrode mode and unit for setting electrode function. The electrode unit has socket for connecting electric neuroadaptive stimulator, current-conducting conductors, electrodes, flexible base plate having contact sockets connecting electrodes. Each plug-and-socket contact for making connection to neuroadaptive stimulator is attached to mating contactor socket with a current-conducting conductor. The electrodes and connector sockets for receiving them are mounted on the flexible base plate underside. The device has removable electrodes of various patterns for acting upon various innervation zones like lumbosacral, bronchopulmonary zones, pancreas projection zone, gallbladder projection zone. Every electrode is functionally applied as active and passive electrode.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in treating expanding innervation zones; enabled prognosis of required treatments number.
