In der Kältetherapie zu verwendende KältesubstanzCold substance to be used in cold therapy
Die Erfindung betrifft eine in der Kältetherapie zu verwendende, auf eine Behandlungstemperatur unterhalb Raumtemperatur abkühlbare Kältesubstanz zum Aufbringen von Kälte auf menschliche Gliedmaßen.The invention relates to a cold substance to be used in cold therapy and to be cooled to a treatment temperature below room temperature for applying cold to human limbs.
Bei Erkrankungen wie Gicht, Rheuma od.dgl. ist es schmerzlindernd und kann heilende Wirkungen haben, wenn man die von der Krankheit befallene Gliedmaße mit Kälte behandelt, beispielsweise indem man die Gliedmaße unter fließendes Kaltwasser hält oder einen Eisbeutel auflegt.In the case of diseases such as gout, rheumatism or similar, it is pain-relieving and can have healing effects if the limb affected by the disease is treated with cold, for example by holding the limb under running cold water or applying an ice pack.
Die üblichen Methoden weisen jedoch verschiedene Nachteile auf, so beispielsweise daß die betreffende Gliedmaße naß wird oder daß nur lokalbegrenzte Abkühlungen auftreten.However, the usual methods have various disadvantages, such as the limb in question becoming wet or only localised cooling occurring.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kältesubstanz der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die ein trockenes, allseitig auf die Gliedmaße einwirkendesThe present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a cold substance of the type mentioned at the beginning, which creates a dry, all-round effect on the limb
Kühlen ermöglicht.Cooling is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Kältesubstanz von einer schüttgutartigen Partikelmenge aus einzelnen festen, ihren Aggregatzustand bei den auftretenden Temperaturen beibehaltenden und mit Bezug die menschliche Gliedmaßen kleinen Partikeln gebildet wird, derart, daß die betreffende Gliedmaße mindestens teilweise in die Partikelmenge eintauchbar und in dieser bewegbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the cold substance is formed from a bulk-like particle quantity of individual solid particles which retain their state of aggregation at the temperatures occurring and are small with respect to the human limbs, in such a way that the limb in question can be at least partially immersed in the particle quantity and can be moved in it.
Eine solche Partikelmenge wird mittels eines geeigneten Kälteaggregats auf die gewünschte Temperatur, beispielsweise im Bereich von etwa -100C, abgekühlt, wonach man die Gliedmaße, insbesondere eine Hand, eintauchen kann. Die betreffende Gliedmaße wird dann von den kalten Partikeln umgeben, so daß die Kälte ringsum einwirkt. Da kein Eis od.dgl. seinen Aggregatzustand bei den auftretenden Temperaturen veränderndes Medium verwendet wird, bleibt die Gliedmaße trocken, so daß sie anschließend nicht abgetrocknet werden muß. Ferner steht die Partikelmenge nach einer Anwendung für nachfolgende Anwendungen unverändert wieder zur Verfügung, d.h. sie muß lediglich erneut abgekühlt werden und kann dann wieder benutzt werden.Such a quantity of particles is cooled to the desired temperature, for example in the range of around -10 0 C, using a suitable cooling unit, after which the limb, in particular a hand, can be immersed. The limb in question is then surrounded by the cold particles, so that the cold acts all around. Since no ice or similar medium that changes its state of aggregation at the temperatures encountered is used, the limb remains dry, so that it does not have to be dried afterwards. Furthermore, the quantity of particles is available unchanged for subsequent applications after one application, ie it only has to be cooled down again and can then be used again.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist, daß man beispielsweise mit den Fingern innerhalb der Partikelmenge Bewegungsübungen ausführen kann. Dies fördert die Schmerzlinderung und außerdem wird die Partikelmenge dabei andauernd sozusagen umgepflügt, so daß die Finger laufend mit neuen Partikeln in Berührung kommen,A particular advantage is that you can, for example, perform movement exercises with your fingers within the particle mass. This promotes pain relief and, in addition, the particle mass is constantly being ploughed over, so to speak, so that the fingers are constantly coming into contact with new particles.
die sich durch Wärmeübergang von der Gliedmaße her noch nicht erwärmt haben.which have not yet warmed up through heat transfer from the limb.
Die erfindungsgemäße Kältesubstanz läßt sich nicht nur in Krankenhäusern, Pflegeheimen od.dgl. Anstalten sondern auch zu Hause von jedermann einsetzen, beispielsweise indem man die Partikelmenge in ein geeignetes großes Gefäß schüttet und dieses dann mittels eines Kühlaggregates, das auch ein üblicher Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank sein kann, abkühlt. Bei Bedarf wird das Gefäß mit der kalten Partikelmenge dann entnommen.The cooling substance according to the invention can be used not only in hospitals, nursing homes or similar institutions but also at home by anyone, for example by pouring the amount of particles into a suitable large container and then cooling it using a cooling unit, which can also be a conventional refrigerator or freezer. If necessary, the container with the cold amount of particles is then removed.
Das Gefäß kann auch selbst mit einem Kälteaggregat versehen sein. Ferner sind vor allem in Zusammenhang mit Krankenhäusern usw. sogenannte Kälteschubladen auf dem Markt, die zur Aufbewahrung von andauernd kühl zu lagernden Dingen dienen. Auch in eine solche Schublade kann die erfindungsgemäße Partikelmenge geschüttet werden. Der Patient kann dann die Hand unmittelbar in die herausgezogene Schublade eintauchen.The container itself can also be equipped with a cooling unit. Furthermore, so-called cold drawers are on the market, especially in connection with hospitals, etc., which are used to store things that need to be kept cool at all times. The amount of particles according to the invention can also be poured into such a drawer. The patient can then immerse his hand directly into the pulled-out drawer.
Zweckmäßigerweise weisen die Partikel eine mit Bezug auf eine Kugelgestalt flachere Gestalt auf. Dies hat mit Bezug auf den Punktkontakt einer Kugelform den Vorteil eines flächigeren Kontaktes zwischen der Gliedmaße und den Partikeln und somit einen schnelleren Kälte- bzw. Wärmeübergang zur Folge.It is advisable for the particles to have a flatter shape than a sphere. With regard to the point contact of a sphere, this has the advantage of a more extensive contact between the limb and the particles and thus a faster transfer of cold or heat.
Versuche haben gezeigt, daß eine linsenartige Gestalt besondern vorteilhaft ist.Experiments have shown that a lens-like shape is particularly advantageous.

Die Partikel können aus praktisch beliebigem Material, beispielsweise Kunststoff, Metall oder Holz, bestehen. Dabei ist bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform vorgesehen, daß die Partikel von einem Naturprodukt, insbesondere ein Lebensmittel wie Linsen, Erbsen, Reis, Körner usw., gebildet werden. Solche Naturprodukte stehen ohnehin zur Verfügung, so daß eine gesonderte Herstellung der Partikel entfällt.The particles can be made of practically any material, for example plastic, metal or wood. In a preferred embodiment, the particles are formed from a natural product, in particular a food such as lentils, peas, rice, grains, etc. Such natural products are available anyway, so that there is no need for separate production of the particles.
Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt in schematischer Weise eine Schublade 1, die ein Kühlaggregat enthalten oder zur Ausstattung eines mit einem Kühlaggregat versehenen Kühlschranks od.dgl. gehören kann, so daß die Schublade und somit auch deren Innenraum mittels des Kühlaggregats kalt gemacht werden kann. In der Schublade 1 befindet sich eine in sie geschüttete Partikelmenge 1, die von einer Vielzahl der bereits geschilderten Partikel gebildet wird. In die Partikelmenge 2 taucht eine zu kühlende Hand, von der nur der zugehörige Arm 3 sichtbar ist. Es ist ohne weiteres ersichtlich, daß sich die Hand innerhalb der Partikelmenge 2 hin und her bewegen läßt und daß dabei oder anstelle hiervon Fingerbewegungen ausgeführt werden können.The only figure in the drawing shows schematically a drawer 1 which can contain a cooling unit or be part of the equipment of a refrigerator or similar equipped with a cooling unit, so that the drawer and thus also its interior can be cooled by means of the cooling unit. In the drawer 1 there is a quantity of particles 1 which has been poured into it and which is made up of a large number of the particles already described. A hand to be cooled is dipped into the quantity of particles 2, of which only the associated arm 3 is visible. It is immediately apparent that the hand can be moved back and forth within the quantity of particles 2 and that finger movements can be carried out in the process or instead of this.
