The invention provides the use of electrical pulses (I, W) to reduce, improve, heal or prevent recurrence of a chronic ulcer, comprising administering to a need (1, 2, 3) an effective amount of an electric stimulation in multiple treatment sessions, wherein the electric stimulation stimulates the lymphatic system.

A teeth surface stain removing apparatus removes stains on a teeth surface, and includes a sheet member capable of being attached to the teeth surface via an adsorptive member for adsorbing the stains, a teeth surface electrode disposed at a part of the sheet member, the part being attached to the teeth surface, and a charge supplier supplying negative charges to the teeth surface electrode in a state where the sheet member is attached to the teeth surface.

The disclosure relates to a heat and low-frequency treatment device, which includes a host, a control circuit and two cushions. The control circuit has an input interface, a processor, an amplifying circuit and a negative half-wave elimination circuit. When the two cushions receive the power controlled by the processor, according to control waveform and voltage the current is flowed through the treatment site where it is covered by the two cushions, and the heat energy generated by the electric heating layer is transmitted to the deep of the treatment site at the same time.

One subject of the invention is an article for cosmetic treatment of a body area with an electric current, comprising a support (50) comprising an electrode (1) and a counter electrode (2), said electrode and counter electrode being separated from one another by a space comprising an electrically insulating zone (3) made of a polymeric material.

The present invention provides systems and methods for monitoring cardiac autonomic nervous system activity and modulating parasympathetic control of cardiac function.

An unattended approach can increase the reproducibility and safety of the treatment as the chance of over/under treating of a certain area is significantly decreased. On the other hand, unattended treatment of uneven or rugged areas can be challenging in terms of maintaining proper distance or contact with the treated tissue, mostly on areas which tend to differ from patient to patient (e.g. facial area). Delivering energy via a system of active elements embedded in a flexible pad adhesively attached to the skin offers a possible solution. The unattended approach may include delivering of multiple energies to enhance a visual appearance.

A system and method for spinal fusion that can include: a spinal cage body that includes at least one defined graft window cavity; a plurality of electrodes exposed on the surface of the spinal cage body; control circuitry configured to drive the plurality of electrodes in a stimulation mode; wherein there is at least a targeted osteoinduction region and a targeted non-osteoinduction region that are immediately adjacent to the spinal cage body; and wherein the control circuitry includes configuration to excite the plurality of electrodes during the stimulation mode for generation of a current density in the targeted osteoinduction region and targeted non-osteoinduction region according to targeted levels of bone growth.

A treatment method includes an indwelling step of indwelling a medical appliance in a trachea T of a patient, the medical appliance having a plurality of types of metals disposed side by side on a side surface of a pipe body, and the medical appliance generates a current between adjacent metals out of the plurality of types of metals when in contact with a foreign substance or saliva having flown into the trachea.

The pulse applicator includes a first arm, including a first electrode, a second arm, including a second electrode, and a spacer. The first arm, the spacer, and the second arm are movably connected, and define a gap between the first arm and the second arm. The first electrode, the gap, and the second electrode are selectively alignable, and the first electrode and the second electrode are configured to deliver an electrical field across the gap in response to an electrical pulse received across the first and second electrodes.

A glaucoma treatment device applies electrolysis into an eye has a plurality of electrodes connected to a voltage source, and a controller coupled to a pressure sensor. The electrodes apply an electric field within an eye, and the controller regulates the delivery of current to the electrodes based on intraocular pressure measurements from the pressure sensor. The device has an enclosure for the pressure sensor, controller, and voltage source. The voltage source can recharge via an external source and the controller can accept adjustments remotely. The device also operates as a component in a method to convert aqueous humor into gas. The method utilizes electrolysis to reduce the volume of fluid in the anterior chamber of an eye. The method modulates electric current during usage of the invention. The method and device combine to reduce intraocular pressure within an eye thus lessening the progression of glaucoma.
