DEVICE FOR ELECTROTHERAPY Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61N1/18 

FIELD: physics; medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to pyroelectric phenomena in crystals and can be used in physics presentations on spontaneous polarisation with temperature variation, as well as to therapeutic effect of electric current in physiotherapy, diagnostics and cosmetology. Electrotherapeutic apparatus comprises dielectric housing (1), in which there is pyroelectric (2) with negative (3) and positive (4) electrodes connected to contacts of discharger (9). Over pyroelectric is direct current source (5) for connecting incandescent bulbs (6) located in reflector (7). In housing (1) is installed electric field generating emitter electrode (14) connected to negative electrode (3) of pyroelectric (2). Emitter electrode (14) is designed as a probe-type emitter point with a convex end and to perform acupressure while being in direct contact with surface of human skin. Probe emitter (14) is connected to negative electrode (3) of pyroelectric (2) via load resistance (16) configured for information extraction therefrom. Housing (1) is provided with a projecting arm portion at one end of probe under emitter (14) mounted for supplying a voltage across load resistance (16), measured parallel to circuit established by voltmeter (17). Housing is formed with corresponding sockets (18) to load probe emitter (14) and connect an external device for reading information. Apparatus further comprises an outer electrode (11) on housing (1), connected to positive electrode (4) of pyroelectric (2) via plate lever (12) and/or outer circular electrode (19) with connecting wire (20) and fitting (21) at its end connected to positive electrode (4) of pyroelectric (2) through connector (13) in said housing.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of treatment with provision of convenient treatment procedure by exposure to electric field and negative charges on separately analysed affected organ, as well as enabling capture of output data and monitoring thereof during treatment.
