Description

The utility model relates to medicine, to physiotherapeutic devices made in the form of a needle applicator, designed for physiotherapeutic effects on the reflexogenic zones of the human body, can be used for therapeutic and preventive purposes in medical institutions and in domestic conditions.

Acupuncture needle applicators, as a rule, are made in the form of an elastic base with needles fixed on it as elements of a reflex effect, the tips of which extend beyond the elastic base, forming the working side of the applicator.

Well-known are the so-called modular needle applicators, which are the elastic base of the applicator on which the same type of modules are mounted, made with elements of reflex action in the form of protrusions, spikes, needles. Features of the implementation of the modules and the basis of the applicator determine the factors of the reflex effect of the applicator on the user's body and the effectiveness of its application.

The prototype of the claimed applicator module is the well-known Kuznetsov applicator module, which includes the base of the module in the form of a round or square dielectric plate, on one side of which there are many spikes, the tips of which are elements of the reflex effect and form the working side of the module. The spikes are made integral with the base of the module. The module is made of medical polystyrene, less often of metal. The therapeutic effect of the module is achieved due to the mechanical effect of the spikes on the user's body according to the principle of acupuncture and acupressure, (http://ruback.ru/alternativnye-metody-lechenija/applikator-kuznecova.html).

Common features of this applicator module and the inventive module are: an applicator module for reflexology, containing the dielectric base of the module, on which the elements of reflex action in the form of spikes, the tips of which form the working side of the module, are made.

The therapeutic effect of the module on the user's body is uniquely determined by the particularities of the implementation of the elements of the reflex effect (spikes) on the only working side of the module, such as the pitch of the spikes, the degree of pointedness of the spikes, which uniquely determine the factors of reflex exposure. The ability to replace or select reflex factors is not provided, which limits the functionality of the applicator module.

The utility model is based on the task of expanding the functionality of the applicator module due to the possibility of replacing or selecting factors of reflex action on the user's body.

The problem is solved in that in the applicator module for reflexology, which includes the dielectric base of the module, on which the elements of reflex action are made in the form of spikes, the tips of which form the working side of the module, in accordance with the utility model, the spikes are made on two opposite sides of the module base.

On opposite sides of the base of the module, a different number of studs can be made.

The spikes on opposite sides of the base of the module can be made with varying degrees of pointedness.

The execution on the opposite sides of the module of a different number of spikes and the execution of spikes with different degrees of pointedness provides a difference in the factors of the reflex action of the opposite sides of the module and the ability to replace or select factors of reflex action on the user's body depending on the goals of reflexology.

Part or all of the surface of the module can be made with at least two conductive electrically interconnected coatings with different electrochemical potentials. As a result of this embodiment, galvanic pairs are formed, which, when in contact with the epidermis of the skin, generate galvanic microcurrents that cause the known effects of galvanization and galvanic electrophoresis, as additional factors of reflex action, which extends the functionality of the applicator module.

Part or all of the surface of the module can be made with at least two conductive coatings that are electrically insulated from each other. In this case, the spikes can serve as electrodes, with the help of which it becomes possible to affect the user's body with electrical signals of various sizes and shapes, supplied to these coatings, which also extends the functionality of the applicator module.

In FIG. 9-10 shows a module with a rectangular dielectric base 4 with two conductive coatings 8, 9 electrically interconnected with different electrochemical potentials (coating 8 based on Zn, coating 9 based on Cu). Coating 8, 9 is formed by galvanic pairs, which upon contact with the epidermis of the skin generate galvanic microcurrents that cause the known effects of galvanization and galvanic electrophoresis, which extends the functionality of the applicator module.

In FIG. 11-12, a module with a rectangular dielectric base 4 is shown with two conductive coatings 10, 11 insulated from each other, acting as electrodes, with the help of which electric signals of various sizes and shapes are applied to the user's skin, which lead to said coatings 10, 11, which also expands the functionality of the applicator module.

The following are examples of reflexology applicators based on the claimed module. Applicators include a flexible applicator base of a given spatial configuration, on which modules with spikes made on opposite sides of the base of the modules are fixed, the tips of which protrude on opposite sides of the applicator base with the formation of two working sides of the applicator with different characteristics of the reflex effect.
