Patent ID: 7660637

Claim:
A kit for an electrode system for an electric punctual stimulation therapy comprising: a) a punctual stimulation electrode comprising: i) a substantially disk shaped base; ii) a needle coupled to said substantially disk shaped base; b) a flexible line wherein said substantially disk shaped base is adapted to receive said flexible line for feeding power into said electrode; c) a handling tool having: i) a tracing pin; and ii) electrical circuitry configured to measure an electrical resistance value of a body in contact with said tracing pin; and d) an annular plate having a hole disposed in a center region of said plate, said plate being formed separate from said punctual stimulation electrode, and said annular plate having a first side for coupling to a patient's skin, said first side having a first adhesive layer, for adhesion of said annular plate to the skin, and a second side having an adhesive surface, forming a second adhesive layer for connection between said annular plate and said base, as well as, being spaced apart from said substantially disk shaped base before use of said electrode system, until said annular plate alone has been adhered to a patient's skin, wherein for precise positioning of said needle to a particular location on the skin first said annular plate is adapted to be slipped on said tracing pin being used for searching particular locations situated on the skin of a patient and having a diameter or cross section that corresponds to the dimensions of said hole of said annular plate and to be stripped off from said tracing pin at such a particular location found and indicated by said electrical circuitry and wherein said plate is applied using said first adhesive layer to said particular location on the skin wherein said handling tool is configured to apply said annular plate to a patient's skin; and then, using said hole of the annular plate for positioning the needle of said punctual stimulation electrode, said substantially disk shaped base is fixed to said second side of said annular plate via said second adhesive layer, resulting in said needle extending through said hole to puncture the patient's skin wherein coupling of said flexible line to said substantially disk shaped base is carried out after said needle punctures said patient's skin.
