Pulsed galvanic stimulator
First Claim
1. A pulsed galvanic medical treatment device, comprising:
- means for controlling power;
a plurality of substantially planar pads, including treatment and return pads, said treatment and return pads each having a coating forming a first surface thereof, a liquid absorbing member forming a second surface thereof opposite said first surface, and an electrical conductor disposed between said first and second surfaces;
a first elongated band adapted to be wrapped around a first part of a body to be treated;
means for adjustably attaching said treatment pads to said first elongated band;
connecting means for connecting the electrical conductor of each of said pads to said power control means;
a second elongated band adapted to be wrapped around a second part of the body to be treated; and
means for adjustably attaching said return pad to said second elongated band;
wherein each of said first and second elongated bands has a substantially inelastic starter portion forming a first end portion thereof and adapted to receive said treatment pads and said return pad, respectively, an elastic tightening portion forming a second end portion thereof, and fasteners located on said first and second end portions and adapted to be joined to said inelastic starter portion.

Abstract
A pulsed galvanic medical treatment device is provided comprising a power control and supply source, a pair of electrodes connected to the power control and supply source, a return pad connected to the power control and supply source and connecting wraps for tightly strapping the electrodes and return pads to a portion of the body to be treated. The electrodes and return pads are formed from a liquid absorbing sponge member backed by a flexible vinyl coating and having an electrical conducting substance disposed therebetween. The electrical conductor extends beyond the electrodes and return pad at least several inches where it can be connected to the power control and supply source.
