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 and the arm ~ wrap serves as the return electrode. The multi-layer glove has a protective outer layer, which protects an underlying electrically conductive layer and prevents accidental electrical contact between the conductive layer and areas of a patient's skin. 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, tandis que le bandage de bras sert d'électrode de retour. Le gant multicouche comporte une couche extérieure protectrice qui protège une couche conductrice d'électricité sous-jacente et prévient tout contact électrique accidentel entre la couche conductrice et des zones de la peau d'un patient. 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.
