Abstract
Abstract In the control circuit of a therapeutic stimulator for the urinary incontinence, whereby the sphincter of the urethra is stimulated and at the same time a reflected inhibition of the urinary bladder is caused, stimulation pulses are generated. The circuit enables an automatic interruption of stimulation pulses after predetermined periods of time, or a continuous operation.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
Control circuit of a therapeutic stimulator for the urinary incontinence, characterized in that the output of the pulse generator (1) is connected to the first input of the NOR gate (3), the second input of which is connected to the output (Q n ) of the binary counter (7), the output thereof being connected to the input of the final stage (6) provided with stimulation electrodes (5), and that the output of the fundamental frequency generator (2) is connected to the first input of the NOR gate (4), the output thereof being connected to the input of the binary counter (7), the "reset" input of which is over the switch (8) connected to the positive or negative pole of the supply and the output (Q n ) being connected to the second input of the NOR gate (4).
