By way of a suitable generator, supplied with power either from a battery or from a wall outlet, electrical pulses are created with a given voltage, frequency, and duration. These electrical pulses are applied at least to the region of the crotch and preferably both to the region of the crotch and to the sacral area beside the spine. For penile or clitoral erection the voltage does not exceed 20 V, while the frequency of the pulses can be 100-200 cycles per second, and the duration of each pulse may be on the order of 200 microseconds, with the generator generating a square wave. During operation it is possible to reduce the initial voltage from a range of 20 V. to a range of 10 V. which is adequate to maintain an erection once achieved. | InventorAssigneeApplicationNo. 418106 filed on 11/21/1973US Classes:607/39, Stimulating reproductive organ607/40, Stimulating bladder or gastrointestinal tract607/74Bipolar pulsesExaminersPrimary: Kamm, William E.Attorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References335638, 2099511, 2932297, 3236240, 3403684, 3640284, 3650275International ClassA61N 1/36 (20060101) |
