.The front flexible. sheet 14' is of plastic waterproof material, to, provide a waterproof separation between.
the bare skin of the patient and a heating and resistance means 19 which is disposed between the inner or front sheet 14and the back or outer flexible sheet 15. They electrodes 11 and Rare secured to the sheet 14 by.
stitches20.
The resistance means 19 is in duplicate. That is to say, it consists of two rectangular sections 19a and 19b,= An oscillator 22: is provided having cables 23 and '24 extended therefrom a as indicated-in dotted lines in Fig. 1.
to the support 10, to conduct therapeutic electric current to theelectrodes 11 and .12 and to conduct electric current to the resistanceelements 19a and 19b to producev heat contiguous to :the body tissues which are being electrically treated.
' Asv shown in Fig. 4, the oscillator 22 includes an electronic tube 23 and an associated circuit which includes the resistance elements 19a and 19b. A capacitor 24 is bridged across the cathode 25 and the plate 26 of the tube 23 by conductor means 27. A winding 28-is connectedby conductor means, 29 in series with the cathode 25 and-the grid 30 of the tube 23. A winding 31 istconnected-into the plate; circuit of the plate 23 ,by,-,
