Apparatus provides electrical stimulation to tissue from a control unit and at least one electrode connected to a control unit supplying the stimulation current. A fixation element holds the at least one electrode against the tissue and also holds the control unit in a fixed position with respect to the tissue. The apparatus preferably has a central dressing portion 15 located in aperture 11 of a supporting substrate 2 and two electrodes 7, 6 arranged either side of the aperture and connected to the control unit 5 via conductor 8 formed upon insulator 10. Preferably the substrate is fastened to a patient's tissue via adhesive 3, and a wound may be positioned underneath the dressing portion. |
