The invention relates to medicine specifically to medical technology, and
concerns electrical gastro-intestinal tract and mucous membrane
stimulators. The electrical gastro-intestinal tract stimulator comprises a
casing (1) with electrodes and in the form of a medicinal capsule
containing a power source (4), a control unit (5) of which M outputs are
connected to M electrodes (3), a device (6) for receiving signals from
internal organs and/or an external transmitter, to (1-N) outputs of which
are connected (1-N) inputs of the control unit (5). The electrical
stimulator can contain P additional electrodes (7) provided with a coating
of microelements or medicinal preparations and connected to P separate
outputs of the control unit (5). The electrical stimulator can also
contain a signal transmitter (10) designed to transmit signals from the
device (6) for receiving signals from internal organs and/or external
transmitter and control unit (5) to an external receiver for medical
observation and monitoring. The dimensions of the electrical stimulator
are restricted by the requirement that it be capable of being introduced
into the gastro-intestinal tract orally or rectally or suitable for
vaginal use.
