Electrical stimulator, comprising impulse generator, power source and electrodes and electrodes made in the form of two electrically-isolated parts of capsule, on one of applied coating, which provide uniform admission of microelements in human organism, wherein impulse generator and power source are placed inside the capsule, characterized in, that the capsule is additionally provided with automatic switching unit, impulse-forming unit, current regulator, element of control regime temporary delay and recharging unit.

Description

The invention relates to medicine and veterinary medicine, namely to the stimulants of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).

Known electrostimulator gastrointestinal tract in the form of a capsule, which is a two electrically isolated part of the electrodes, inside the capsule is placed a pulse generator and a power source. The electrostimulator is used to relieve atony and intestinal paresis (auth. Of the USSR No. 936931).

A disadvantage of the known electrostimulator is the absence of a coating with material from a number of trace elements of the electrode-anode, which dissolves and enters the GI medium in ionized form, and then is absorbed through the intestinal walls into the blood.

The closest technical solution to the proposed is an electrostimulator of the gastrointestinal tract in the form of a capsule, representing two electrically isolated parts of the electrodes, one of them, the electrode-anode, is covered with a continuous conductive film from a number of trace elements with a thickness of at least 10 μm, a pulse generator is placed inside the capsule and power supply (patent RU, № 2036671).

The disadvantage of the pacemaker is the inability to change the value of the parameters of the pulses, a small shelf life and the inability of the targeted effect of the stimulator on the individual parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

The task and the technical result of the present invention is to develop a stimulant with the ability to optimize the values of the parameters of the pulses, increased shelf life and the effectiveness of its use as a result of targeted effects on individual parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

The task and the technical result is achieved by the fact that a well-known stimulator, made in the form of a capsule, is two electrically insulated bushing parts-electrodes, one of which is coated to ensure the even entry of microelements into the body, and a pulse generator and a power source are placed inside the capsule, an automatic switch-on unit, a pulse shaper, a current regulator, a time delay control element for operating modes control, and a power supply charging unit are additionally introduced into the capsule.

FIG. 1 shows the design of the stimulator; figure 2 - structural diagram.

The stimulator is made in the form of a capsule, which consists of two 1 parts electrically isolated by a sleeve, which serve as electrodes 2 and 3, in contact with the intestinal walls. One electrode is coated with 4 of a number of essential trace elements. Inside the capsule there is a pulse generator 5, an automatic switch-on unit 6, which includes a pulse generator 5 when a load resistance occurs between electrodes 2 and 3, a pulse shaper 7 designed to ensure the formation of pulse packets, a current regulator 8 for normalizing the parameters of output pulses, a control delay element operating modes 9, which is designed to turn on or off, as well as change the parameters of the stimulator effect according to a given program, the power source 10, Rows 11, designed to restore the parameters of the power source 10 before using it.

Stimulator works as follows.

The stimulator is inserted into the gastrointestinal tract of a patient or animal. The automatic switch-on unit 6, when resistance appears between electrodes 2 and 3, triggers a pulse generator 5. The pulses come from the pulse generator 5 to the pulse shaper 7, where pulse packets are formed, which through the current regulator 8 are output to the electrodes 2 and 3, affect the intestinal walls like directly in contact with it, and indirectly through the conductive environment of the gastrointestinal tract. The control of the pulse generator 5, the change of the parameters of the pulse shaper 7 and the current regulator 8 is carried out by the element of the time delay for controlling the operating modes 9 for the purpose of a specific stimulator effect in certain places of the gastrointestinal tract. The required energy intensity of the impact is provided by the power source 10, which is charged before use, if necessary, through the charging unit 11. The coating 4 of the electrode-anode 2 dissolves in the body under the influence of the electric current flowing between the electrodes 2 and 3, which ensures a uniform input of microelements into the body. The response of the intestine in the form of a peristaltic wave promotes the contents of the intestine and the stimulant to the distal parts of the intestine, where the process repeats.

The use of an automatic switch-on unit, a pulse shaper, a current regulator, a time delay control element and a charging unit in the stimulator design allows optimizing the value of pulse parameters, increasing the shelf life and efficiency, using the specific effect of the stimulator on certain gastrointestinal sites of people and animals.
