Abstract
This device for treating skin conditions with galvanotherapy features a DC power supply, one pole of which is connected to a central pin electrode. The other pole is connected either to several counter-electrodes arranged around the central electrode, or to a single counter-electrode shaped to surround the electrode. The electrode and counter-electrode(s) are pressed against the skin, and power is applied to them, treating the area of skin within the pattern defined by the counter-electrode(s) with galvanotherapy. It is possible to treat various sizes and patterns of skin conditions by specifying an appropriate counter-electrode pattern.
Claims20
A device for treating inflammatory skin changes in the initial stage, said device comprising a housing, with a direct-current source and a switch for interrupting the flow of said current fitted therein, and an electrode carrier on which are arranged an electrode and at least one counter-electrode, which electrode is connected electrically to one pole of the direct-current source, and which counter-electrode is electrically connected to the opposite pole of the direct-current source, said device characterized in that the electrode is pin-shaped and concentrically surrounded by the one or more counter-electrodes, the electrode carrier being mounted movably on a first spring in a cylindrical housing part, and electrode being mounted on a second spring inside the electrode carrier, the restoring force of which second spring is less than that of the first spring, the electrode and one or more counter-electrodes being in the operating state of the device, brought to bear on the area of skin which is to be treated.
