Abstract
A percutaneous electrical therapy system with electrode angle of entry control, wherein the system includes a control unit; an electrode electrically connectable to the control unit to deliver electrical therapy to a patient, the electrode having a sharp point at a distal end adapted to be inserted into a patient's tissue; and an electrode angle of insertion assembly controlling the electrode's angle of entry into the patient's tissue. The invention also includes the percutaneous electrode and electrode angle of insertion assembly described above apart from the control unit. The invention is also a method of performing percutaneous electrical therapy including the steps of: aligning an electrode assembly housing with a patient's tissue; inserting a sharp point of an electrode into the patient's tissue, the housing supporting the electrode during insertion to control the electrode's angle of insertion; and applying an electrical signal to the electrode from a control unit.
