A medical device treats diseases of the hand, wrist, and arm, including osteoarthritis and osteoarthrosis of the joints of the human hand. The medical device includes a multi-layer glove system, an arm wrap, a signal generator, lead wires, and a garment. The multi-layer glove system serves as the treatment electrode. One of the layers electrically insulates a portion of the hand, allowing a different portion to make electrical contact with a conductive layer. The arm wrap serves as the return electrode. The signal generator produces a specific, spike shaped electrical signal, together with the multi-layer glove system, at the treatment site. The device can reduce pain and increase joint function of the treated joints.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif médical qui permet de traiter des maladies de la main, du poignet et du bras, telles que l'ostéoarthrite et l'ostéoarthrose des articulations de la main de l'homme. Le dispositif médical comprend un système de gant multicouche, un bandage de bras, un générateur de signaux, des fils de connexion et un vêtement. Le système de gant multicouche sert d'électrode de traitement. Une des couches isole électriquement une partie de la main, permettant à une autre partie d'établir un contact électrique avec une couche conductrice. Le bandage de bras sert d'électrode de retour. Le générateur de signaux produit un signal électrique en forme de pointe spécifique, conjointement au système de gant multicouche, au niveau du site de traitement. Le dispositif peut réduire la douleur et augmenter la fonction articulaire des articulations traitées.
