  • Publication number: 20190126054
    Abstract: A configuration performs electrical therapy on a patient and is configured to produce at least one electrical therapeutic voltage, which acts at a therapy site in or on the patient's body. The configuration contains at least one first and one second subunit, and every subunit has at least one energy storage. The amount of energy storable by every individual energy storage is smaller than the amount of energy required to produce the electrical voltage for therapy.
