A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11964146B2) discloses a kit of electrodes designed for treating a target region in a subject's body using Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields). The kit includes multiple electrodes wired together in various configurations and substrates to hold the electrodes against the subject's body. The electrodes are strategically placed around the target region, with an AC voltage generator generating alternating voltages between different sets of electrodes to deliver the desired treatment.

The kit offers versatility in its application, with options for different frequencies of AC voltages based on the specific treatment requirements. The electrodes can be arranged around different parts of the subject's body, such as the torso, neck, head, or limbs, providing a comprehensive solution for delivering TTFields therapy. The flexible substrates ensure a comfortable fit for the electrodes, enhancing the overall treatment experience. The patent highlights the innovation in electrode design and placement to optimize the delivery of TTFields for effective treatment of the target region in the subject's body.
