Abstract:
1. In a device for surface stimulation of an acupuncture point, the improvements comprising: a first electrically insulating layer; a pressure sensitive, electrically insulating adhesive second layer having one side adhered on one surface of the first layer, whereby an opposite side of the second layer adheres to a skin surface for use, the second layer having a central hole and a series of holes spaced about a circle about the central hole therethrough; electrically conductive gel in the holes and projecting therefrom for electrical connection to the skin surface when the opposite side of the second layer is adhered thereto; a first electrical conductor sandwiched between the layers and electrically connecting the gel in the series of holes about the circle; a second electrical conductor sandwiched between the layers, electrically connected to the gel in the central hole at one end and extending to an opposite, tab end for electrical connection to a stimulator; and a third electrical conductor sandwiched between the layers, electrically connected to the first conductor at one end and extending to an opposite tab end for electrical connection to the stimulator.
