Description

The utility model relates to devices used in physiotherapy to stimulate reflex points on the surface of the human body, and can be used in medical institutions and living conditions for reflexology.

A device for massage [1], containing a base with protrusions with recesses described by second-order surfaces, the axis of symmetry of which coincide with the longitudinal axes of the needles installed in them, the height of each needle relates to the height of each protrusion as 2: 1. The specified design has a number of significant disadvantages:

- the complexity of the design and technology of its manufacture;

- the patented design of the needles has insufficient rigidity, and when the load is applied, they lose their stable position, as a result of which the effect of acupuncture is not achieved.

Also known is an applicator - a biostimulator [2], containing an elastic dielectric base and staggered massage elements made of the same material as the base, integrally with it in the form of cones with a rounded apex, while the height of the massage elements is within 5-7 mm and refers to the diameters of their bases as 1: 1, and the radius of rounding of the top of the cones is in the range of 0.1-0.3 mm.

The specified design has the following disadvantages:

- during the procedures, due to the contact of the massage elements with biologically active points in the area of their exposure, there is an increased pain sensitivity that causes vasospasm;

- after applying the specified applicator-biostimulator, it takes some time for the rehabilitation of organs and systems of the human body.

Despite the disadvantages, the specified technical solution [2] can be taken as a prototype, as the closest analogue.

The objective of the proposed utility model is to create a design that provides a technical result, consisting in the simultaneous exposure to the human body of massage of biologically active points, laser radiation, pulsating red and blue and a constant magnetic field.

This technical result is achieved in that the applicator-biostimulator contains an elastic dielectric base, massage elements located on it in a checkerboard pattern made of the same material as the base, integrally with it in the form of cones with a rounded apex. The biostimulator applicator is equipped with a replaceable light therapy unit made in the form of a flexible perforated plate on which, in a checkerboard pattern relative to the massage elements of the base, LEDs emitting pulsating red or blue light with a wavelength of 640 nm and 470 nm, respectively, or laser emitters with a wavelength of 890 are mounted nm, while the holes of the perforated plate are made opposite the massage elements located on an elastic dielectric base. Around the LEDs or laser emitters, magnetic rings can be mounted concentrically to them, creating a constant magnetic field with a strength of 35 mT, which enhances the therapeutic effect.

This design is easy to manufacture and use, universal, because allows you to massage almost all parts of the human body. Due to the simultaneous complex effect of massage of biologically active points, laser radiation, pulsating red and blue colors and a constant magnetic field, the therapeutic effect is increased, and the time for the rehabilitation of a sick human body is reduced.

The essence of the proposed utility model is illustrated by graphic materials, where

- figure 1 shows a General view of the applicator-biostimulator with an installed replaceable block of light-tolerance, made on the basis of LEDs;

- figure 2 shows a section aa in figure 1;

- figure 3 shows the design of one of the possible fixation options for a replaceable light therapy unit on the basis of the applicator (spring plastic clip).

The biostimulator applicator (Figure 1) contains an elastic dielectric base 1, on which massage elements 2 are placed in a checkerboard pattern, made integrally (for example, by stamping) with the base 1 in the form of cones 3 with a rounded apex 4.

To ensure the stability of the massage elements 2 (Figure 2) when applying loads when using the applicator, the height of the cone "h" is selected within 5-7 mm, and the ratio of the height "h" to the diameter "d" of the base of the cone as 1: 1.

The radius of rounding of the vertex 4 is chosen in the range of 0.1-0.3 mm, which eliminates the possibility of damage to the skin and infection with diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis, polio, etc., and allows fairly effective massage of biologically active points.

The biostimulator applicator is equipped with an additional light therapy unit 5 (Figs. 1 and 2), made in the form of a flexible perforated plate 6, on which LEDs 7 are mounted in a checkerboard pattern relative to the massage elements 2 of the base 1, emitting pulsating red or blue light with a wavelength of 640, respectively nm and 470 nm, or laser emitters (not shown in the drawings) with a wavelength of 890 nm. The holes 8 of the perforated plate 6 are made opposite the massage elements 2 located on an elastic dielectric base 1. Around the LEDs or laser emitters, magnetic rings 9 can be mounted concentrically to them.

The width "a" and the length "b" (Figure 1) of the elastic dielectric base 1 of the applicator and the flexible perforated plate 6 are selected from the ratio a / b = 0.7.

This condition is met by sheets of A4 format, which is advisable to use in the manufacture of base 1 and flexible plate 6. Such an applicator will well fit massaged areas of the body, such as arms, legs, shoulders, and body. If necessary, you can use several applicators at the same time (for example, when massaging the back bio-points).

For medicinal purposes, you can use other well-known formats. The thicknesses “δ” of the base 1 and “f” of the plate 6 (Figure 2) are selected depending on the materials used and the elasticity parameters of the base 1 and plate 6 required for massage to fit various parts of the human body.

As the elastic material of the base 1 and plate 6, elastic or vacuum rubber, polyurethane, elastic plastic, plastic biopolymer, etc. can be used.

Depending on the massaged areas of the patient’s body, light-emitting unit 5 can have LEDs emitting pulsating blue or red light, or laser emitters, or a combination of both.

Depending on the diagnosis of the disease, interchangeable light therapy units 5 are used in the treatment, which differ from each other in a complete set of LEDs, laser emitters, magnetic ruts or a combination of their applications (only blue, only red, blue plus red, only laser, blue and red plus laser, with magnets or without them).

In these cases, replaceable blocks 5 with the help of the holes 8 are installed on the massage elements 2 (cones) and fixed on the base 1 with special fastening elements: spring plastic clips 10 (Figure 3), spring brackets, buttons, etc., which are installed on two opposite short sides of the applicator.

The applicator is equipped with a power supply with a charging device and a control panel that sets the operating modes. Electrical connection to the control panel is carried out using a miniature electrical connector (not shown in the drawings) installed directly on the applicator.

Patented applicator - biostimulant is used as follows. An applicator is applied to the massed area of the body, for example, the arm, leg, shoulders, chest, neck and head areas (frontal part, hairline), while the massage elements are in contact with the patient's body. Power is supplied to the LEDs and laser emitter. Pressing on the outside of the applicator produces a massage. You can use several adjacent applicators that allow you to massage the biologically active points of the vast surfaces of the human body, for example, the back of the back. Simultaneously with a massage session, the patented applicator affects the body with laser radiation, a pulsating red or blue light, and a magnetic field.

Laser radiation with a wavelength of 890 nm penetrates deep into tissues and has a powerful stimulating effect on blood circulation, membrane cell metabolism, activates neurohumoral factors and immune-competent systems, and regulates the hormonal system.

Pulsating red light with a wavelength of 640 nm reduces the intensity of inflammatory processes, increases the activity of psycho-emotional spheres.

Pulsating blue light with a wavelength of 470 nm has an inhibitory effect on body functions, lowers blood pressure, calms the pulse, regulates the rhythm of breathing, and reduces muscular tension.

Under the influence of a constant magnetic field with a strength of 35 mT, the capillary channel expands.

This applicator design is easy to manufacture. Its use does not damage the skin, i.e. the integrity of the skin is not violated, which in turn does not contribute to the penetration of a viral infection. The design is universal, as It allows you to massage almost all parts of the human body, and due to the complex effects of massage, laser radiation, pulsating red and blue light and a magnetic field on the body, the therapeutic, health and preventive effect is increased.
