ABSTRACT:
A combination soft body tissue stimulator and heating device including a thin, flat, molded flexible plastic pad, one side of which defines a working surface. The molded pad has a plurality or an array of spaced separate conductive areas each having an exposed conductive surface which is generally coplanar with the working surface. When the device is properly installed, each conductive area makes electrical contact with, and receives support from, a separate disposable double-sided flexible adhesive electrode attached to the skin over the soft tissue. The array of electrodes adhesively attached to the skin is generally aligned with the array of conductive areas of the pad so that only the adhesive attachment between the conductive areas and the electrodes is required to hold the device in place against the skin. A resistive heating element is embedded within the pad which is generally coextensive with and electrically isolated from the array of conductive areas on the side thereof away from the working surface. The conductive areas are connectable to a pulsed electrical current and the heating element is connectable to a d.c. battery supply for simultaneous stimulation and heating of any desired soft body tissue area.
