PERCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL THERAPY SYSTEM AND ELECTRODE

摘要

A system for administering percutaneous electrical therapy. The system can include an electrode (34) electrically connectable to a control unit (62) to deliver electrical therapy to a patient during operation. The electrode can have a first end and a second end opposite the first end with the first end having a sharp point (38) configured to be inserted into tissue of the patient. The apparatus can further include an electrode housing (40) operatively coupled to the electrode and positioned to support the electrode during insertion of the electrode into the tissue. The housing can be positioned relative to the electrode to control motion of and/or access to t he electrode during operation.
