Embodiment Construction

[0071] Overview of the new TENS device

[0072] figure 1 The figure illustrates a novel TENS device 100 formed in accordance with the present invention, wherein the novel TENS device is shown worn on the upper calf 140 of a user. The user can wear the TENS device 100 on either leg.

[0073] TENS device 100 in figure 2 It is shown in more detail in and preferably includes three main components: stimulator 105, strap 110, and electrode array 120 (including cathodic and anodic electrodes suitably connected to stimulator 105 as is known in the art). The stimulator 105 preferably includes three mechanically and electrically interconnected compartments 101 , 102 and 103 . The compartments 101, 102, 103 are preferably interconnected by a hinge mechanism 104 ( figure 2 Only one of the hinge mechanisms is shown in ), allowing the TENS device 100 to conform to the curved anatomy of the user's leg. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, compartment 102 houses TENS ...
