APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HEALING WOUNDS USING ELECTRICAL STIMULATION

摘要

An apparatus (40) and method for treating wounds with AC electrical stimulation is disclosed. The method consists of placing an electrode (20, 30) directly into the wound, placing the other electrode either into or outside the wound in close proximity to the first electrode, and applying AC current to the electrodes providing a current density of about 0.075 mA/cm<2> to 0.150 mA/cm<2> at a frequency of about 0.0027 Hz to 10 Hz.
