ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECTION SYSTEM BETWEEN AN INTRINSICALLY EXTENSIBLE CONDUCTOR AND A NOT INTRINISICALLY EXTENSIBLE ONE
A system is described for obtaining the electrical interconnection between an intrinsically extensible conductor (120) and a not intrinsically extensible one (110), or between two intrinsically extensible conductors. The system is particularly applied in the production of devices implantable in the human or animal body, highly conformable and deformable, for neurostimulation and/or neurorecording.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR APPLYING ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO TREAT PSORIASIS
Methods and apparatuses for treating a medical disorder by the application of non-invasive electrical stimulation. The applied electrical energy may cause autonomic nervous system (ANS) neuromodulation. In general, described herein are methods for electrical energy to a subject, and particularly to the subject's neck with an electrical waveform adapted to improve the medical disorder. Specifically, described herein are methods and apparatuses for treating a patient having psoriasis by non-invasively applying electrical energy.
Medical electrode and limb clamp for an ECG device
The present invention provides a medical electrode comprising a conductive metal base comprising a plate element and a boss formed on the plate element and a conductive support cylinder separate from the conductive metal base. The conductive support cylinder is rotatably mounted to the conductive metal base while remaining in electrical communication with said conductive metal base. The present invention also provides a limb clamp for an ECG device. According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent bending of the cable connecting with the medical electrode, thereby avoiding cable failure.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERIPHERAL NERVE STIMULATION IN THE FINGER OR HAND TO TREAT HAND TREMORS
