Abstract

An electrode device containing several electrodes consisting of a base, conductive plates and current leads, wherein the conductive plates are mounted on a base of dielectric material, characterized in that the rear surface of the base is covered with velcro material or the like, and the inside of the retaining band (s) is made of this same (or similar) material.

Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely, devices for electrical stimulation, and can be used in SCENAR-therapy or in other methods for simultaneous or sequential exposure of various areas of the human skin surface.

Currently, SCENAR-therapy and other similar methods are becoming more widespread in the practice of treating diseases of various pathologies.

One of the features of these methods is that several small areas on the patient’s skin surface are stimulated simultaneously or sequentially.

From the description of the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2124344, IPC A61H 39/00, A61B 5/05, publ. 1999.01.10 known electrode device for electrical stimulation of the neuromuscular apparatus, intended for rehabilitation treatment for traumatic injuries in conditions of impaired innervation. It contains a fixed electrode made in the form of a conductive plate, and a movable electrode. The movable electrode is made of two layers, with one layer made of elastic electrically conductive material, and the second layer of electrically insulating elastic material and equipped with fasteners to the palm of the operator. The disadvantage is the presence of a movable electrode and its design, requiring its fastening on the operator’s hand, as well as the lack of the possibility of simultaneously affecting several selected areas and zones.

It is known (see the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2007118, IPC6 AB 5/04, publ. 1994.02.15) another electrode device containing a dielectric housing and mounted on it working and control electrodes with electrical leads, as well as a cover with a mounting device, worn on top to the body. The disadvantage is the rigid mounting of the electrodes on the body, which significantly reduces the number of zones of the human skin surface available for processing using the specified electrode device, as well as the inability to simultaneously affect several selected areas and zones.

The closest is the device described in the utility model (see patent of the Russian Federation No. 51882 MPK6 AB 5/04, publ. 03/10/2006, bull. No. 7, which is a conductive plate fixed to the base of a dielectric material having protrusions with holes, thanks with which the electrodes can be interconnected using segments of the rod, a rubber band or in other ways.

The disadvantage of the described device is the difficulty of mounting when creating configurations for exposure to different parts of the body

The utility model is illustrated by drawings. Figure 1 shows the design of the electrode device. The bandage 1 and the base 2 are made of fabric or other flexible dielectric material. On the basis of fixed electrodes 3, in the order determined by the topology of the impact. On the brace and base there are patches made of velcro fabric (or similar), which allow you to mount the base on the brace anywhere in the brace and at the desired angle. Mounting options are shown in Fig 2, 3.

The technical result of using the utility model is simplicity and ease of use when processing a large number of zones located in different parts of the body (for example, simultaneously affect the zones located in the area of the canals of the bladder and the posterior median unpaired canal - three paths, or zones in the region of the lower back and hands, etc.).

The specified technical result is achieved in that in an electrode device containing several electrodes, which are conductive plates and current leads, and the conductive plates are mounted on a dielectric base. To fix the electrodes on the patient's body, a bandage is used, cut from fabric or other flexible material. The bandage may have elastic inserts to provide reliable clamping of the electrodes into the patient's body. For various parts of the body use bandages of the appropriate size and cut. The base with the help of stripes of velcro fabric (or similar) is fixed on the bandage in the right place and at the desired angle. If necessary, several bases with electrodes can be fixed on the bandage.

The claimed electrode device is shown in figure 1. The electrode is a conductive plate 3, mounted on an elastic dielectric base 2. The base has slots for installing individual electrodes. On the opposite (reverse) side, the necessary switching is performed, the current lead is connected and the installation is closed with Velcro material or the like. In the simplest version, the electrodes are divided into two groups, which are interconnected and displayed on the connector. In a more complex version, the number of groups is more than two. The base is conveniently attached to the retaining brace at any necessary angle determined by the topology of the impact. If necessary, two or more bases with electrodes and, accordingly, several bandages are used.

Thanks to a simple design, production costs are reduced and there is the possibility of implementing a variety of treatment regimens.

The electrode device is connected via cables to the electrical stimulator.

This design can significantly reduce processing time and increases the effectiveness of treatment.
