Patent number: 11027118Abstract: A device for electrical stimulation of a user is disclosed. The device includes an electrode for applying an electrical stimulation and a gel or liquid dispensing system. The electrode is attached to a first side of a garment such that a surface of the electrode is placed in contact with a portion of a user's skin when the garment is worn by the user. The gel or liquid dispensing system is attached to the garment and configured to be actuatable to dispense a gel or liquid onto the surface of the electrode, the dispensing system having a reservoir configured to hold the gel or liquid and a fluid passageway extending from the reservoir to the surface of the electrode. The electrode may be a carbon or carbon equivalent electrode.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2015Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: DJO, LLCInventor: Pierre-Yves Lampo

Patent number: 10328260Abstract: A disposable electrical stimulation device and method for providing therapeutic treatment and pain management in a convenient, compact configuration. Electrode size and shape and relative configuration can be varied according to an intended application and use, or a universal configuration can be provided for use on almost any area of the body. The common structure of communicatively coupled dual electrodes including control circuitry and a power source accommodates a range of different sizes, configurations, stimulation treatment intensities, and other physical and electrical characteristics that can be pre-customized and packaged for specific, limited time use. The device can therefore be used in methods of providing therapy, managing pain, and achieving other treatment goals by electrical stimulation.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: DJO, LLCInventors: Pierre-Yves Mueller, Marshall Masko, Pierre-Yves Lampo, Klaus Schonenberger, Felix Buhlmann, Steve Guex, Gary L.
