Abstract
An Aesculapius Probe System (device) which is a portable method of controlling surgically installed probes (electrodes) requiring a controlled voltage source. The Aesculapius Probe System incorporates electrical control of Ag (silver) electrodes to inject silver (Ag+) ions to the target infection or point of injury. Portability is accomplished using surface mount technologies (electrical components) and DC coin-cell or thin-cell battery technologies.
Claims20
A method for healing comprising:
- placing a first probe in a healing location;
- placing a second probe in another location;
- and
- applying power to the first probe to produce a current in a first probe by way of a portable device.
1 more element
A portable apparatus comprising:
- a circuit board;
- a power source coupled to the circuit board;
- a first probe attached to the power source;
- a second probe attached to the power source;
- and
- a switching mechanism operatively coupled to the power source, the first probe and the second probe to switch the polarity of the first probe and the second probe, the first probe and the second probe delivering current to a target location at a level to replicate biological levels that promote healing.
