Abstract:
1. An assembly for pain suppressing electrical stimulation of a patient's nerve, the assembly comprising: (a) at least a first series of electrical contact plates; (b) at least a first panel having proximal and distal ends and having lateral and oppositely lateral sides, the at least first series of electrical contact plates being fixedly attached to the at least first panel; (c) a plurality of proximally extending electrically conductive wires, each wire among said plurality of wires having a distal end, each of said distal ends communicating electrically with one of the plates among the at least first series of electrical contact plates; (d) a flexible insulator fixedly attached to or formed wholly with the at least first panel's proximal end, the flexible insulator defining a longitudinally extending hollow bore; (e) a proximally opening traction socket fixedly attached to or formed wholly with the at least first panel's distal end; and (f) a semi-rigid stay having a distal end, the semi-rigid stay being receivable within the hollow bore, the semi-rigid stay, upon full distal extension through the hollow bore, being engageable with the proximally opening traction socket.
