ABSTRACT:
A transcutaneous uterine contraction inhibiting device comprises a first plurality electrode positioned on an anterior side of an abdomen of a patient, a second plurality electrode positioned on the anterior side, and an electric current generator establishing electric current flow between the first plurality electrode and the second plurality electrode. The first plurality electrode is positioned above an upper portion of the uterus and extends laterally across the uterus. The second plurality electrode is positioned on a mid to lower portion of the uterus and also extends laterally across it. Further, a feedback unit can be provided for generating a signal indicative of any uterine contractions. The electric current generator then establishes an electric current in response to the signal from the feedback unit.
