Assignee: BTL HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGIES A.S.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 17:
18. A device for a treatment of a patient, comprising:
a first generator configured to generate a radiofrequency energy with an output power in a range of 1 W to 200 W;
a second generator configured to generate an electric current;
a pad configured to be attached to a body part of the patient, comprising:
a substrate, comprising:
a first segment
a second segment
a slot partially separating the first segment from the second segment,

wherein the first segment is configured to move at least partially independently from the second segment; and
an underside configured to face the patient during the treatment;

a first conductive lead;
a second conductive lead;
a first electrode positioned below the underside of the first segment of the substrate and coupled to the first generator via the first conductive lead, the first electrode configured to:
be coupled with the body part, and
provide the radiofrequency energy to the body part, thereby causing heating of the body part; and

a second electrode positioned below the underside of the second segment of the substrate and coupled to the second generator via the second conductive lead, the second electrode configured to:
be coupled with the body part, and
provide the electric current to the body part, thereby causing a muscle contraction within the body part; and

a control unit configured to control the first generator and the second generator,
wherein the body part comprises a face, a neck, or a submentum.
