Nerve locator |
摘要 |
A device for identifying appropriate nerve stimulation points on a patient is described, for use with an electrical stimulation device. In a first embodiment, the device includes electrodes located on a flexible substrate, a conductive gel layer overlying the electrodes, and a partially conductive removable cover overlying the gel layer. The device may be operated initially with the cover in place to allow reduced stimulation to identify a suitable nerve stimulation point. The cover may then be removed, and the device operated at the identified point. The cover may include perforations allowing the gel to contact the patient; or may be a sacrificial gel layer. |

1. A device for administering electrical stimulation to a patient, the device comprising a pair of electrodes located on a flexible substrate, a power supply connectable to the electrodes, and control means for actuating the electrodes, wherein the device further comprises a conductive gel layer overlying the electrodes, and a removable cover overlying the conductive gel layer, wherein the removable cover is at least partially conductive such that electrical contact may be formed in use between the electrodes and a patient when the cover is in place. |
