Electro-acupuncture probe with electrode ending in pin point - is surrounded by at least one annular wall with axial slots

摘要

Electroacupuncture probe comprises an electrode (2) which can be connected by a cable to a measuring instrument and which ends in a pin point (6) surrounded by at least one annular wall (7), pref. two. The pin is pref. rounded with its point lying in the end plane (8) of the annular wall. At least one of the annular walls has axial slots (9) which extend beyond the bottom of the annular groove (10) between pin and annular wall, in the form of grooves in the electrode outer wall. Radial webs extend from the pin point with their end edges in the end plane of the annular wall, and axial bore are disposed in the region within the annular wall. With the probe, lower pressure of the electrode against the skin is sufficient both for measurement and for therapy.
