ELECTRODE DEVICE AND MEGANETIC ELECTRIC CONNECTOR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61N1/04 A61N1/36 H01R13/703 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: inventions concern medicine and can be applied in physiotherapy for treatment of various diseases, mainly with the use of electric stimulation effect. Electrode device includes several electrodes for electric stimulation, each electrode mounted on electrode unit, the units connected in two-dimensional matrix by magnetic electric connectors. Each connector includes two annular magnets with axial magnetisation, contacting each other by opposite poles and featuring catchers and contactors touching radial surfaces of annular magnets and respective current conductors of electrode modules they connect. Annular magnets, contactors and catchers can feature metal coating with low electric impedance. Magnetic electric connector includes two annular magnets with axial magnetisation, in operation position contacting each other by opposite poles; the annular magnets are related to different connected unit constructions different; each annular magnet features a catcher passing through annular magnet hole and contactor touching radial surface of annular magnet and respective current conductor of unit construction.

EFFECT: faster assembly of electrode units in two-dimensional matrix with electrode device configuration adapted to the shape of body area selected for electric stimulation.
