Abstract
A process of treatment of internal organ oedema is using an electric current delivering electrode system comprising electrodes to be positioned at two places on the outer surface of the internal organ and/or in a liquid carrying vessel of the internal organ and delivering electric current to induce electro-osmosis between the electrodes. An electrode assembly system for this treatment by electro-osmosis includes, in addition to the two electrodes, a control unit adapted to control the current flow between the two electrodes.
Claims44
A method for treating internal organ oedema, comprising
- positioning a first electrode and a second electrode on or inside a subject such that that an electric current flow between the first and second electrodes traverses through the internal organ oedema of the subject;
- and
- delivering a controlled electric current between the electrodes to the internal organ oedema, wherein the electrodes are connected to a control unit adapted to deliver the electric current to a preset value to induce electro-osmosis, wherein the preset value is maintained by controlling a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode for any given distance between the electrodes,
- wherein the first electrode is a patch electrode and the second electrode is a coil electrode.
