Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

Perfeccionamientos en los aparatos para electroterapia.Improvements in devices for electrotherapy

Campo de la invenciónField of the Invention

Estos aparatos para electroterapia están destinados principalmente al tratamiento de partes corporales afectadas por neoplasias y otros fenómenos originados por el crecimiento anormal de células, sin embargo también es aplicable a los tratamientos del dolor, en rehabilitación, traumatología y medicina deportiva, y también en la especialidad de estética y de medicina estética.These devices for electrotherapy are intended primarily for the treatment of body parts affected by neoplasms and other phenomena caused by abnormal cell growth, however it is also applicable to pain treatments, rehabilitation, traumatology and sports medicine, and also in the specialty of aesthetics and aesthetic medicine

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

En el actual estado de la técnica se conocen diversos tipos de aparatos para electroterapia encaminados a producir efectos de hipertermia, es decir de calentamiento local de los tejidos celulares de determinadas partes del cuerpo, afectadas por neoplasias u otras dolencias, basados estos aparatos en la aplicación de corrientes de alta frecuencia.In the current state of the art they are known various types of electrotherapy devices aimed at produce effects of hyperthermia, that is to say of local warming of the cellular tissues of certain parts of the body, affected for malignancies or other ailments, based on these devices in the application of high frequency currents.

Uno de los aparatos conocidos origina la hipertermia mediante un electrodo neutro o de retorno y uno activo de aplicación, ambos metálicos sin recubrir, en este caso el cuerpo actúa como elemento resistivo. El electrodo activo es de menores dimensiones que el de retorno.One of the known devices originates the hyperthermia through a neutral or return electrode and an active one of application, both metallic uncoated, in this case the body It acts as a resistive element. The active electrode is minor dimensions than the return.

Sumario de la invenciónSummary of the invention

El objeto de esta invención es obtener un avance significativo en los tratamientos corporales y faciales realizados con los aparatos de electroterapia resistivos, obteniendo además una perfecta adaptación del cuerpo activo a las zonas anatómicas de superficie irregular tales como los hombros, las rodillas, los codos, los pies y otras, y con un tacto más agradable para la persona sometida al tratamiento.The object of this invention is to obtain an advance  significant in body and facial treatments performed with resistive electrotherapy devices, also obtaining a perfect adaptation of the active body to anatomical areas irregular surface such as shoulders, knees, elbows, feet and others, and with a more pleasant touch for the person undergoing treatment.

Para ello es característico que la acción sobre la zona a tratar de la persona que recibe el tratamiento se efectúe mediante un cuerpo activo lo suficientemente conductor, flexible y con blandura, que recibe la corriente eléctrica desde un adaptador al que se fija y que está conectado al aparato.For this it is characteristic that the action on the area to be treated by the person receiving the treatment is carried out through an active body sufficiently conductive, flexible and with softness, which receives the electric current from an adapter to which it is fixed and which is connected to the device.

El cuerpo humano es semiconductor por lo que resulta ventajoso que el indicado cuerpo activo lo constituya la propia mano de la persona que lleva a cabo el tratamiento, actuando la mano como electrodo activo.The human body is semiconductor so it is advantageous that the indicated active body is constituted by the own hand of the person carrying out the treatment, acting The hand as an active electrode.

La aplicación del tratamiento mediante la mano ofrece, además, otras destacadas ventajas: se evita completamente el riesgo potencial a sufrir una quemadura la persona sometida al tratamiento ya que la mano del especialista o de la persona que realiza el tratamiento siempre se encuentra a una temperatura algo superior a la que recibe la persona en tratamiento.The application of the treatment by hand It also offers other outstanding advantages: it is completely avoided the potential risk of a burn the person undergoing treatment since the hand of the specialist or the person who perform the treatment is always at a temperature somewhat higher than the person receiving treatment.

El hecho de que la mano del especialista haga de "limitador de temperatura" permite aplicar el tratamiento con toda seguridad a:The fact that the specialist's hand acts as  "temperature limiter" allows to apply the treatment with all security to:

--
Pacientes de corta edad o que no puedan expresar la sensación de temperatura.Patients who are young or cannot Express the sensation of temperature.

--
Zonas de piel con poca o reducida sensibilidad, como cicatrices, zonas quemadas, zonas insensibles por problemas cerebrales y otros.Areas of skin with little or reduced sensitivity, such as scars, areas burned, areas insensitive to brain problems and others.

--
Pacientes sin consciencia o con una disminución importante de ésta.Patients without consciousness or with a significant decrease of this.

--
Además la sensación del tacto humano es mucho más agradable que el de un electrodo metálico.further the feeling of human touch is much more pleasant than that of a metal electrode

Todas estas mejoras, unidas a la inocuidad de los medios utilizados en la invención hacia el especialista y hacia la persona que recibe el tratamiento, determinan un paso importante para la aplicación de los aparatos de sistema resistivo, pudiéndose aplicar el tratamiento a personas que hasta el momento no podían disfrutar de las ventajas de dicho tratamiento.All these improvements, together with the safety of the means used in the invention towards the specialist and towards the person receiving the treatment, determine an important step for the application of resistive system devices, being able to apply the treatment to people who until now They could not enjoy the advantages of such treatment.

El adaptador está configurado para adaptarse al dorso de la mano y se recomienda disponer entre el adaptador y la mano un fluido conductor que determinará la correcta conexión entre uno y otra.The adapter is configured to fit the back of the hand and it is recommended to arrange between the adapter and the hand a conductive fluid that will determine the correct connection between one and another.

Estas y otras características se desprenderán mejor de la descripción detallada que sigue, para facilitar la cual se acompaña de una lámina de dibujos en la que se ha representado un caso práctico de realización que se cita solamente a título de ejemplo no limitativo del alcance de la presente invención.These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which It is accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which it has been represented a case study that is cited only by way of non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention.
