Abstract

Usage: in medical technology. The device is made in the form of a working part, a handle and a connecting rod. The working part of the device consists of a housing in which an active multi-electrode needle holder and a cylindrical sleeve made of conductive material are mounted. Two spring-loaded rod electrodes are fixed inside the sleeve. Both ends of the housing are provided with union nuts to adjust the relative position of the needle holder of the active electrode and the sleeve with rod electrodes. The cylinder is rigidly fixed in the union nut. The electronic unit is mounted in the handle of the device; in the connecting rod are electric wires 2 il.

Description

The invention relates to medical equipment and can be used in physiotherapy and reflexology.

Devices are known for influencing the reflexogenic points of a human body (1,2,3), comprising a body and a rod, the oscillatory movement of which is communicated by a pulse generator, a battery or other electric current source. The structural solution of these devices allows only mechanical impact on reflexogenic points.

A device for reflexology / 4 /, containing connected through

an electronic unit a passive electrode and an active multi-electrode / wherein the contact elements of the active multi-electrode are made in the form of needles, have the same electrical resistance and the working parts of the needles are located on the surface of the sphere. The device allows for treatment at a given voltage.

The disadvantages of this device are the complexity of the design solution and the inconvenience of use, since it is necessary to install a housing with signal and control equipment, a power source and an electronic unit near the patient.

The purpose of the invention is to increase efficiency by providing an additional type of exposure, simplifying the process of controlling the duration of the exposure pulse and increasing electrical safety.

This goal is achieved in that in a reflexotherapy device comprising a housing with a handle, in which an active multi-electrode is placed, connected to an electronic unit, to which a passive electrode is also connected, the device case is equipped with a coaxially arranged cylindrical sleeve of conductive material with fixed in its end parts with the possibility of axial movement by spring-loaded rod contacts and union nuts located on the ends of the housing, in the axial hole of one of which one of the rod contacts, equipped with a latch, and in the axial hole of the other nut there is an electrically spring-loaded multielectrode isolated from it, mounted with the possibility of electrical connection with another contact, while the electronic unit is placed in a handle fixed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing, and is connected by one terminal to a union nut, which is a passive electrode, and the other terminal to a cylindrical sleeve.

Figure 1 presents a General view of the device; on Fig, 2 is a structural diagram of the working part of the device.

The reflexology device consists of a working part 1, a handle 2 and a connecting rod 3. An electronic unit 5 with a power source is mounted in the handle 2: electric wires are located in the rod 3.

Along the axis of the housing 5 of the working part 1 of the reflexotherapy device, there is a cylindrical sleeve 6 made of conductive material. In the end parts of the sleeve 6, rod contacts 9 are secured by means of sealing sleeves 7 and a spring 8. Both ends of the housing 5 are provided with a union nut 10, 11, which are passive electrodes. In the obevsgm hole of the nut 10, a pin contact 9 is located, with the help of a screw 12 a sleeve is fixed to the sleeve nut 6. With the help of the cap nut 11, a spring-loaded needle holder 13 of the multi-electrode 14 is fixed between the needle holder 13 and the body 5, an insulating strip 15 is installed.

A handle 2 with a connecting rod 3 is fixed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

The electronic unit 4, located in the handle 2, is electrically connected by one terminal to the union nuts 10, 11, and by the other terminal to the inner cylindrical sleeve 6.

A device for reflexology works as follows.

When the working part 1 of the device strikes, mechanical irritation of the patient’s skin surface occurs with the needles of the multi-electrode 14. The needle holder 13, moving along the axis of the body, comes into contact with the rod contact 9. In this case, an electric potential is applied to the patient’s skin. The duration of the pulse action by the potential depends on the contact time of the electrodes and can be controlled by the elasticity of the spring 16 and the relative position of the needle holder 13 and the cylindrical sleeve 6, which is regulated by the union nuts 10.11.

The pin contact 9 is used for acupressure when the biologically active points on the surface of the patient’s skin are spaced apart from each other within the diameter of the multielectrode and when simultaneous exposure to several adjacent acupuncture points is undesirable.

The proposed device for reflexology allows to simplify the mode of use of the device due to the possibility of mechanical control of the duration of the pulse. The functionality of the device has been expanded through the use of an active multi-electrode and a rod contact.
