Embodiment Construction

[0032] figure 1 A schematic plan view onto a bandage 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown. The bandage 1 has a load-bearing element 2, which in figure 1 In the embodiment shown in the form of a belt. On the right and left end of the support element 2 there is a closure element 4 , which can be designed, for example, as a two-part hook and loop fastener. Alternatively, buckles, buttons and similar configurations are of course also conceivable here.

[0033] exist figure 1 The bandage 1 shown in has six electrodes 6 which are each arranged on a pad 8 . The mat 8 is arranged on the carrier element 2 , which here has the form of a belt. Other configurations of the carrier element 2 are also conceivable. It is only important for the invention that the bandage 1 has at least one carrier element 2 on which the pad 8 is arranged.

[0034] exist figure 1 The view shown in thus shows the side of the bandage 1 facing the patient's body. The respective righ...

Abstract

A bandage having at least one support element and at least two electrodes that are spaced apart from one another, characterized in that at least two pads that are finable with a fluid are arranged on the at least one support element, and at least one electrode is fastened to each pad, wherein the at least two pads are connected to each other via at least one fluid connection in such a manner that an internal pressure compensation can take place between at least two of the pads.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a bandage having at least one carrier element and at least two electrodes spaced apart from one another. The invention also relates to an electrode system for such a bandage. Background technique [0002] A bandage of this type is known, for example, from DE 10 2004 009 210 A1. The at least one carrier element is in this case an elastic band which can be placed around the patient's body, for example. However, the at least one load-bearing element can also be designed in a different manner, as is known for example for knee orthoses, calf orthoses or other dressing systems. [0003] Such systems are now often designed with electrodes so that electrotherapeutic currents can enter the body and thereby stimulate muscle growth and muscle building. [0004] In order to achieve an optimal effect here, it is important that an electrical contact be established between the electrodes and the skin of the carrier of the bandage. The pro...
