Abstract

An electrode for use in low intensity direct current therapy of skin lesions and the like. The electrode contains silver from which silver ions are carried to the treatment site under the influence of direct current to provide a germicidal action at the lesion. The electrode may have a porous support structure and some of the silver may be chlorided. The electrode is maintaned in substantially direct contact with the treatment site while being saturated with an electrolyte similar to tissue fluids.
