Patent Images
1. A device for cutaneous field stimulation, the device comprising:
- a sealed and cleanable battery/controller pod including at least one battery; and
a disposable pad that is configured such that the pod is insertable into a pocket of the pad, the pad comprising;
a substrate;
a plurality of TENS pads on the substrate, wherein the plurality of TENS pads generally surround the pocket;
a plurality of CFS needle electrodes on the substrate; and
circuitry on the substrate for conveying power from the pod to the plurality of TENS pads and the plurality of CFS needle electrodes, and the circuitry extends through the pocket to engage the pod.

Abstract
A CFS system includes self-adhesive, disposable pads. Each pad is combined with a sealed, cleanable battery/controller pod and then placed on the body where needed. The battery/controller pod preferably has wireless capability, such as Bluetooth® capability. The patient can download an application to a smartphone or similar mobile device to control the pods.
