Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lymphatic drainage finger glove for carrying out the classic manual lymphatic drainage or the three-dimensional manual lymphatic drainage technique.
  • the lymphatic system consists of two layers: a superficial and a deep lymphatic system.
  • the superficial lymphatic system consists of a subcutaneous network, the underlying lymphatic vessels and the associated lymph nodes. Perforated vessels of the lymphatic system migrate through fasciae and connect superficial lymphatic vessels to the deep lymphatic system and its lymph nodes. Deep-lying lymphatic vessels accompany small and large veins to the inside of the body, where the main lymphatic strains are located, which then flow into the venous system via the thoracic duct or the lymphatic trunk.
  • lymphatic vessels can be found in almost all organs of the body. They usually begin as two- or three-dimensional networks, which differ significantly from region to region. In particular, lymphatic vessels are also located in the skin of humans and are held in the surrounding connective tissue via anchor fibers / filaments.
  • the classic "manual lymphatic drainage” is based on the basic handles developed by Emil Vodder.
  • the four basic handles, gentle massage techniques (eg circling, pumping), serve to move the skin in a transverse and transversal rhythm with light pressure and push phases
  • gentle massage techniques eg circling, pumping
  • the term manual lymphatic drainage has established itself here.
  • the three-dimensional manual lymph drainage technique not only treats the lymphatic system on the surface, but also includes the deep lymphatic system in the treatment, in terms of height, length and width and in all anatomy layers.
  • the edema fluid mobilized by the "manual lymphatic drainage” or the "three-dimensional manual lymphatic drainage technique” is absorbed by intact lymphatic vessels and supplied to the venous system via lympho-venous anastomoses.
  • the resulting increase in blood circulation is regulated by various circulatory mechanisms.
  • the excess volume is excreted in the urine. In this way one tries to treat edema and lymphedema diseases symptomatically or causally.
  • the curative phase is approximately four weeks.
  • the three-dimensional manual lymphatic drainage technique shortens the curative phase to two to a maximum of six days, which is still very time-consuming.
  • lymphatic drainage is very dependent on the quality and knowledge of the therapist, although attempts have been made in the past to increase the effectiveness of lymphatic drainage using aids.
  • aids For example, electrically powered massage devices are known that massage areas of the body.
  • hand massage devices can be used that allow suction massage via a suction cup.
  • aids do not achieve improved lymphatic drainage, or only to a very limited extent.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing an aid with which the “manual lymphatic drainage” and the “three-dimensional manual lymphatic drainage technique” can be carried out as effectively as possible.
  • the tool should help to enable an optimal drainage result.
  • the aid should be able to be produced as inexpensively as possible and should not change the conventional lymphatic drainage or the three-dimensional manual lymphatic drainage technique in its therapeutic treatment concepts.
  • the object is achieved by a lymphatic drainage finger glove with the features of patent claim 1.
  • the lymphatic drainage finger glove has fingers, an inner surface and an outer surface, as well as individual elevations according to the invention, at least in the region of the fingertips.
  • the execution of the lymphatic drainage finger glove as a glove enables sensitive and variable treatment of the patient.
  • the pressure and the direction of treatment of individual fingers can be varied with a glove.
  • a flat treatment can be carried out, adapted to all body regions.
  • the lymphological findings determine the intensity of treatment.
  • the glove should therefore also consist of elastic, as close as possible, rubber-like material, for example latex or nitrile.
  • the elastic material should be as thin as possible so that the therapist's feeling, i.e. his sense of touch, is influenced as little as possible.
  • elevations or knobs preferably in the form of spherical segments or dome-shaped elevations with an approximately circular base area, are provided at least in the region of the fingertips of the fingers of the lymph drainage finger glove.
  • These elevations have a height of 0.8-1.5 mm compared to the base of the lymphatic drainage finger glove, the distance between individual elevations is 1.5-4 mm.
  • the elevations have a diameter of 1-1.5 mm at their base.
  • the shape and arrangement of the elevations is adapted to the anatomy of the lymphatic system of the human body.
  • the inventor has recognized that effective drainage results can be achieved if an aid is used to carry out the "manual lymphatic drainage” and "three-dimensional manual lymphatic drainage technique", the elevations (structured surfaces, see above) of which refer to the superficial subcutaneous lymphatic system and the deep subfascial System are adapted.
  • lymphatic capillaries initial lymphatic vessels
  • the wall structure of the initial lymphatic vessels is formed from endothelial cells, an incomplete basement membrane, and a subendothelial fiber felt.
  • the endothelial cells are oak leaf-shaped structures that interlock or overlap like roof tiles. These form the main framework of the three-dimensional building structure.
  • the endothelial cell overlaps are referred to as vibrating tips. They serve as inlet valves next to the intercellular gaps.
  • lymphatic capillary wall On the outer surface of the lymphatic capillary wall, in the area of the swinging tips and in the edge area of the oak leaf-shaped endothelial cells, there are anchor fibers / filaments, which are also connected to the elastic and collagenous fiber felt of the interstitium. As a result, the lymphatic capillary is held in the interstitium like a puppet so that it does not collapse.
  • the lymphatic capillaries are flap-free and are surrounded by the epidermal ridges and the bays of the corium papillae. There is a sub-atmospheric suction in them.
  • the increase in interstitial fluid (extracellular fluid) leads to an increase in interstitial pressure. This leads to the expansion of the tissue. This puts the anchor fibers / filaments under tension and transfers their tensile force not only to the vibrating tips, but also to the intercellular gaps. These open so that the interstitial fluid can flow in. Natural lymph formation occurs.
  • lymphatic drainage finger glove Effective transverse and longitudinal stretching of the skin is achieved through the lymphatic drainage finger glove. This is transferred to the area surrounding the initial lymphatic vessels and the underlying lymphatic system (epifascial and subfascial). The anchor fibers / filaments of the initial lymphatic vessels are placed in an effective tension, so that this leads to maximum lymph formation.
  • the dimensions of the elevations correspond roughly to the dimensions of the bays in which the lymphatic capillaries, the lymphatic capillary meshes, the pre-collectors and subcutaneous lymphatic collectors are located.
  • the elevations put the area around the initial lymphatic vessels, i.e. the bays of the corium papillae and the epidermal crests, into a maximum, three-dimensional transverse and longitudinal expansion.
  • the distance between the three-dimensional movable elevations corresponds to the average distance between the bays. This ensures that a maximum number of initial lymphatic vessels, which underlying lymphatic capillary meshes, precollectors, subcutaneous collectors and surrounding tissue structures can be moved or massaged.
  • the geometry and the arrangement are crucial for the success of the treatment.
  • the height of the elevations and their diameter is important for optimal contacting of the lymphatic capillary.
  • the lymphatic drainage finger glove can also be provided with elevations over the entire inner surface.
  • elevations over the entire inner surface.
  • An arrangement is also possible only in certain areas, for example on the fingertips and on the ball of the hand.
  • the equipment of the lymphatic drainage gloves with elevations also depends on the preferred handles of the practitioner. In this respect, various arrangements are conceivable.
  • the outer surface of the lymphatic drainage finger gloves is also provided with three-dimensional movable elevations, for example in the area of the knuckles.
  • the lymphatic drainage finger glove can also be provided with three-dimensional movable elevations completely over its entire surface, that is to say over the inner surface, the outer surface and also in the region of the intermediate spaces between the fingers.
  • the three-dimensional movable elevations can also be designed differently in regions in a particularly advantageous embodiment variant.
  • areas can be provided in which the elevations are higher and / or have a larger diameter.
  • This can also be advantageous depending on the form of treatment.
  • surveys according to the invention can be provided in the region of the fingertips, but larger surveys in the region of the heel of the hand.
  • the areas have elevations of different designs, but these are all within the range of the geometry according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the skin layers with the blood and lymphatic vessels, (Földi, Földi, Kubik: Textbook Lymphology, 7th A., Elsevier GmbH 2010)
  • Figure 2 shows the installation of the lymphatic capillary in the interstitium

  • the two figures 1 and 2 come from the textbook lymphology (Földi, Földi, Kubik) and illustrate the structure of the skin layers with the blood and lymphatic vessels.
  • the bays of the corium papillae in which the lymphatic capillaries are arranged can be seen.
  • Anchor fibers / filaments hold the lymphatic capillary in place and can be moved with appropriate hand movements during lymphatic drainage. This in turn leads to the fact that the intercellular gaps open over the swinging tips and that intercellular fluid can flow off.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show a lymphatic drainage glove 20 according to the invention with which an optimal movement of the anchor filaments and lymphatic capillaries can be achieved.

It can also be seen that the elevations 26 have a height H of approximately 1 mm, starting from a base area 30. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the elevations 26 have a diameter D of 2 mm at their base.
