IMPROVED ELECTROTHERAPY DEVICE

The invention relates to an electrotherapy device of the type including, as a cathode, a single needle (21) arranged in a needle housing (2). The needle housing (2) comprises a head (4) and body (23). The device comprises, as an anode, a surface application electrode, for being hand-held or attached to the patient's skin. The device comprises a unit for generating and controlling electric current (1). The unit for generating and controlling electric current (1) has on its rear side a support (3) for the needle housing (2). The support (3) is comprised at its base of a connecting element (31) to the unit for generating and controlling electric current (1). The connecting element (31) is coupled to said unit for generating and controlling electric current (1) and includes at least two projecting fins (34) coupled in a separable manner to two support elements (35, 36). The support elements (35, 36) serve to support the needle housing (2) and are interchangeable with each other such that the support (3) is reversible.
