Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of a counter electrode for an electric field (potential) therapy device, and the purpose is to obtain a device that can also be used as an electric blanket or bed sheet.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the electric field treatment device, a therapist M enters an electric field formed between one main electrode a and the other counter electrode b to perform treatment. In this figure, E is a power supply, and c and c' are connection cords. By the way, conventionally, during such electric field therapy, when the therapist feels cold (especially in winter), the therapist would like to use an electric blanket or an electric blanket. Or, if electric sheets 1' are placed under the entire body, the parts of the body covered by them will be electrically shielded by the heating wires, and will not be affected by the main electrode a. As a result, electric field therapy becomes impossible. Therefore, in the past, there has been the inconvenience that even if the patient feels cold during electric field treatment, it is not possible to use an electric blanket, bed sheet, etc.

This device improves the counter electrode b shown in Figure 1 so that the treatment can be performed while avoiding the cold even during electric field treatment.
b′ is an electric blanket-like object 1″, 1 that is large enough to cover almost the entire body, and its legs and legs 2
The heating wire 3 is wired inside the portion corresponding to the section, and this is connected to the power source via a connection cord c''.

As a result, when a therapist uses this counter electrode b' when receiving electric field therapy, a counter electrode is formed at the leg part 2, and the body is kept warm by the heat generated by the heating wire 3. However, since there are no heating wires in the upper part of the body, it is not electrically shielded, and therefore is fully affected by the electric field of the main electrode a, and the electric field treatment is performed without any damage. can receive. That is, this counter electrode
b′ acts as a counter electrode, and at the same time
It also functions as an electric blanket or bed sheet.

This device can also be considered to have the effect of cooling the head and keeping the feet warm, which has been said since ancient times, and can be used not only as a counter electrode for electric field therapy, but also as a general electric blanket or bed sheet.

Furthermore, the material constituting the electric blanket-like object 1'' mentioned above is not limited to a blanket, but may also be an ordinary cloth-like object, a towel-like object, or a futon-like object. The same is true.
