DEVICE FOR TRANSCUTANEOUS APPLICATION OF A STIMULUS OR FOR TRANSCUTANEOUS RECORDING OF A PARAMETER

摘要

The apparatus for transcutaneous stimulation or transcutaneous measurement of a parameter is a device which fits wholly within the pinna (external ear) of the vertebrate. In order to fit completely within the pinna, the housing is C-shaped and from each end of the housing is a curved section which has a spring action that holds the apparatus inside the ear. This apparatus has a compact design which allows for nerve stimulation in a particularly efficient, ergonomically favorable and easy manipulation for the patient.
