EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC PATCH FOR ACCELERATING BONE HEALING OR REGENERATION AFTER TRAUMA
An electronic patch for stimulating tissue healing at a target site, flexible enough to generally conform to a body surface adjacent to the target site, comprising: a) a battery or an arrangement of multiple batteries less than 5 mm thick; b) a capacitor in series with a coil; c) pulse generating circuitry, powered by the battery or batteries, which repeatedly changes the voltage across the capacitor and coil, to produce pulses of current in the coil, the current producing an electromagnetic field at the target site for stimulating tissue healing during the pulse period, most of the electromagnetic field energy coming from the capacitor at the beginning of the pulse period and returning to the capacitor at the end of the pulse period.
PLASMA ELECTRODE PAD FOR TREATMENT OF WOUNDS AND PLASMA TREATMENT DEVICE
A floating type plasma electrode pad includes the plasma electrode made of a conductive metal thin film, a flexible dielectric thin film layered on the plasma electrode, and made of a polymer material, the dielectric thin film being spaced apart from the skin by a predetermined distance such that microdischarge is generated in a space defined between the dielectric thin film and the skin, and a spacer layered on the dielectric thin film, to space the dielectric film from the skin by the predetermined distance.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR CONTACTLESS DELIVERING PULSED ELECTRIC FIELDS TO SKIN TISSUE
Devices and methods for contactless delivery to a tissue of a subject using applied pulsed electric fields. The methods for controlling a therapy provided to a skin tissue of a subject using applied pulsed electric fields. The methods includes an jetting-nozzle assembly configured to not in directly contact with a skin tissue of a subject to deliver a series of electric field pulses to the skin tissue and a user input configured to receive an operational instruction for the series of electric field pulses. The operational instruction defines at least one of a pulse duration, a pulse frequency, a pulse number, and a pulse amplitude. The methods also includes at least one processor configured to access the operational instruction received by the user input and, using the operational instruction, create an electric field profile to be generated by the jetting-nozzle assembly about the skin tissue of the subject to control a cosmetic skin treatment.

Electrode arrangement for forming a dielectric barrier plasma discharge
The invention relates to an electrode arrangement for forming a dielectric barrier plasma discharge between an electrode (1) supplied with an AC high voltage by a control device (20) and a treatment surface (21) of an electrically conductive body (22), said arrangement functioning as a ground electrode, wherein a dielectric material (8) completely covets the electrode (1) up to the treatment surface (21) and forms a contact side for the surface (21). The electrode arrangement permits effective and homogeneous formation of the plasma (23), in particular for large treatment surfaces (21), because the electrode (1) consists of at least two electrode portions (2, 3) arranged next to one another at the same distance (6) from the contact side and insulated from one another by the dielectric material (8), and because adjacent electrode portions are supplied by the control device with compensating partial AC voltages which are mirror-inverted in terms of the waveform and the voltage level.
