Electrode set and stimulating device

摘要

The electrode set for a stimulation device, such as a TENS or EMS stimulation device comprises at least a plurality of neighboring electrically active zones close to each other said active zones forming a succession of poles of alternating polarity or being grouped to form groups of poles of alternating polarity, wherein at least one of said active zone or group of zones has a lateral size (D2) of approximately 1 mm to 40 mm, wherein at least one of spacing (D1) between neighboring active zones or groups of zones is approximately of 1 mm to 40 mm, and said set further comprises contacting means connected to said active zones or groups of active zones.

1. An electrode set for a stimulation device, the electrode set comprising:
a plurality of neighboring electrically active zones forming a succession of poles of alternating polarity or being grouped to form groups of poles of alternating polarity and configured to provide current to a body which reaches and stimulates sensory fibers and which does not reach and stimulate muscle fibers, the active zones defined by two combs, each comb comprising a base and parallel teeth connected to the base, wherein the teeth of the combs are intermingled; an insulating layer that covers the base of the combs; wherein at least one of the plurality of active zones has a lateral size of 1 mm to 40 mm; wherein a spacing between neighboring active zones is 1 mm to 40 mm; and wherein the electrode set further comprises contacting means connected to the plurality of active zones.
