Non-invasive capacitively coupled electrical stimulation device for treatment of soft tissue wounds

A method of healing a soft tissue wound, comprising:

• identifying a soft tissue wound on a subject;
• indicating the use of capacitively coupled electrical stimulation for treatment of the identified soft tissue wound;
• providing a signal generator in electrical communication with first and second electrodes;
• disposing said first and second electrodes on a skin surface proximate to the identified soft tissue wound;
• generating a time varying electrical signal with said signal generator;
• delivering said electrical signal to said first and second electrodes;
• generating an electric field in a region of the identified soft tissue wound, for treatment thereof, upon delivering of said electrical signal to said first and second electrodes, wherein said generating an electric field comprises generating a voltage at a frequency within a range of 20 to 100 kHz and having a symmetrical waveform with an amplitude within a range of 0.1 to 20 volts peak to peak through said first and second electrodes.

A method of treating a soft tissue wound, comprising:

• providing a signal generator in electrical communication with first and second electrodes;
• disposing said first and second electrodes on a skin surface on opposing sides of an identified soft tissue wound;
• and
• applying an electric field in the identified soft tissue wound, for treatment thereof, by generating an electrical signal at a frequency within a range of 20 to 100 kHz and having a symmetrical waveform with an amplitude within a range of 0.1 to 20 volts peak to peak through said first and second electrodes.
