Abstract[English]
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy relies on self-adhesive electrode assemblies positioned on opposite sides of the subject's body to induce an alternating electric field in a target region of the subject's body. But in certain situations, it can be difficult to remove the electrode assemblies from the subject's body. Removal can be facilitated by incorporating a cord or cable affixed near the periphery of the electrode assembly, e.g., at a corner of the electrode assembly. And this cord or cable is used to peel the electrode assembly away from the subject's body. Removal can also be facilitated by incorporating one or more threads configured to slide between the front face of the electrode assembly and the subject's skin to break the adhesive grip that holds a portion of the electrode assembly to the skin.[French]
L'invention concerne une thérapie par champs électriques de faible intensité (TTFields) qui repose sur des ensembles électrodes auto-adhésifs positionnés sur des côtés opposés du corps du sujet pour induire un champ électrique alternatif dans une région cible du corps du sujet. Mais dans certaines situations, il peut être difficile de retirer les ensembles électrodes du corps du sujet. L'élimination peut être facilitée en incorporant un cordon ou un câble fixé à proximité de la périphérie de l'ensemble électrode, par exemple, au niveau d'un coin de l'ensemble électrode. Et ce cordon ou câble est utilisé pour décoller l'ensemble électrode du corps du sujet. L'élimination peut également être facilitée en incorporant un ou plusieurs fils conçus pour coulisser entre la face avant de l'ensemble électrode et la peau du sujet pour rompre la force adhésive qui maintient une partie de l'ensemble électrode sur la peau.
