ES2301285A1 - Device for evaluating and controlling degree of vascularization in human body parts, has screen that includes reading of degree of vascularization, and body of device has hole that crosses and by passes output cable of active electrode - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has a screen that includes reading of the degree of vascularization. The body of the device has a hole that crosses and by passes the cable output of active electrode of a team of hyperthermia, being fed the device indicated by the inductive cable by a toroidal core and becoming direct current, expanded, feeding the digital indicators. The body includes in its magnetic base for fastening on the metal box.

Description

Device for evaluation and control of degree of vascularization in parts of the human body.

Object of the invention

Device for evaluation and control of degree of vascularization in parts of the human body.

Background of the invention

There are different methods to assess the vascularization, some are invasive that limit their application, and others are not invasive but do not allow the evaluation of vascularization in tissue volumes by not deepening the same.

The knowledge of the degree of vascularization is important both for diagnosis and for monitoring the evolution of the treatments of many pathologies and also for Know the symmetry relationship between the two sides of the body.

The requesting firm itself owns the invention patent No. 200403001 which aims at a procedure for evaluation and intensity control circulating in parts of the human body related to the degree of vascularization, and a suitable device for putting in Practice this procedure.

According to this procedure, proceed successively with the following operational phases: Install conductive electrodes in parts of the human body that comprise the area whose vascularization you want to evaluate; pass one high frequency current between the electrodes without produce a thermal increase in human tissue; measure and record the values of the circulating electric intensity, to one or more different values of applied voltage; and compare the step current values recorded with contrast values to allow evaluation of the vascularization of the limb or area body examined.

The device for the implementation of this procedure essentially comprises two electrodes that connected to a high frequency generator are applied to a measuring device where the reading of the degree of vascularization and that will be provided with a milliammeter that It will measure the electric current passing.

It is also intended that this device be connect to the output of the resistive active electrode cable of a hyperthermia equipment

Summary of the invention

It is the object of this invention to improve the indicated device simplifying it so that you get your operation without connecting to the mains or neither to the hyperthermia team, and without using batteries, no not requiring controls.

For this it is characteristic of this device the presence of a hole in the body of the same that crosses it and through which the output cable of the active electrode of a hyperthermia equipment, the device being fed inductive by the indicated cable, the induction being collected by a toroidal core and transforming into direct current that, enlarged, feeds the digital indicators.

Description of the drawings

Figure 1 shows schematically in elevation the device object of the invention, and

Figure 2 illustrates in plan the body of the device.

Description of a preferred embodiment

According to the drawings this device it comprises a body (1) that has a screen (2) frontally and that it has practiced a transverse hole (3) surrounded by a toroidal core (4).

Through the hole (3) passes the cable (C) that corresponds to the output of the resistive active electrode (E) and that It is connected to a hyperthermia device (A).

The device is inductively powered by the indicated cable (C) when some power is selected in the hyperthermia device, being transformed into current continues the induction collected by the toroidal nucleus, whose direct current, once expanded, feeds the indicators digital that will appear on the screen (2).

The body (1) comprises magnets at its base (5) that determine its hold on the metal box of the device of hyperthermia (A).

The electrical circuit is not described since a Once the signal has been collected, it can be completed shapes.

With reference (C ') the power cable is indicated output corresponding to the neutral electrode (E ').

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated solely by way of example, which will also achieve the protection that collect. This device may therefore be carried out for the evaluation and control of the degree of vascularization in parts of the human body, using the means, components, circuits and most suitable accessories, being able to the elements indicated in the description be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, for all that is understood within the spirit of claims.

Claims (2)
