DEVICE FOR SURFACE STIMULATION OF ACUPUNCTURE POINTS

摘要

A device for surface stimulation of an acupuncture point has a first insulating layer (12) and a second pressure sensitive, elect rically insulating adhesive layer (14) having one side adhered o n one surface of the first layer, whereby the opposite side of the second layer adheres to a skin surface, the second layer having a central hole and a series of holes spaced about a circle. Electrically conductive gel (16,18) in the holes projects therefrom for electrical connection to the skin surface. A first electrical conductor electrically connects the gel in the series of holes about the circle. A second conductor electrically connects to the gel in the central hole and extends to an opposite tab end (22) for connection to a stimulator and a third conductor electrically connects to the first conductor at one end and extends to an opposite tab end (28) for electrical connection to a stimulator.
