Abstract:
1. A medical treatment device for treating at least first and second different medical conditions of a patient, comprising: a neurostimulation device for stimulating a predetermined nerve to thereby treat first neurologically based condition of the patient, the neurostimulation device further comprising a first waveform generator adapted to generate a first waveform having a frequency capable of stimulating the predetermined nerve of the patient, a second waveform generator adapted to generate a carrier waveform having a frequency capable of passing through tissue of the patient, wherein the frequency of said carrier waveform is itself incapable of electrically stimulating the predetermined nerve, a modulation device electrically coupled to the first and second waveform generators and adapted to modulate the first and carrier waveforms to create a modulated waveform, and an electrode electrically coupled to the modulation device and positioned substantially adjacent to skin of the patient, and adapted to apply the modulated waveform thereto; and biocompatible, implantable mesh adapted for implantation within tissue of the patient to mechanically treat the second medical condition of the patient, wherein the implantable mesh has a plurality of incorporated electrically conductive elements adapted to, when implanted, electrically conduct the modulate waveform that is applied to the skin through the body tissue within which it is implanted to a position within the body that is closer to the predetermined nerve than the electrode, and wherein the implantable mesh is adapted to support an internal organ or body part, and has a pore size adapted to promote tissue ingrowth when implanted, wherein the modulated waveform maintains amplitude and frequency information of the first and carrier waveforms.
