Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[01] The utility model relates to the field of medicine, and specifically to massage devices used for prophylactic, therapeutic and cosmetic massages, as well as in the treatment of various diseases by means of combined in time and place combined shock wave and massage effects on the integumentary tissues and muscles of the body person.

LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY

[02] Shockwave therapy (SWT) devices are now widely known. A shock wave is a high-energy hydraulic and acoustic wave that stimulates the processes of regeneration and repair in an inflamed area of human tissue, for example, tendons, muscles, bones. This high-energy shock-wave vibration, which has a short-term effect on the focus of the disease, causes a decrease in pain syndrome, an improvement in local blood circulation, loosening of calcification sites, fibrous foci, and subsequently - their gradual resorption. Tissues under the influence of shock waves begin to synthesize a greater amount of vascular endothelial growth factor, as a result of which an enhanced growth of microcapillaries begins, revascularization and restoration of blood supply to problem areas of the musculoskeletal system.

[03] Since shock wave therapy is based on a short-term application of high-energy vibration to the area of the disease, most of the known devices belong to vibratory massagers using an aqueous medium (Vibration massager "Vibro VM-2000", protected by RF patent No. 2153314), acoustic, equipped noise generator (RF patent No. 2175226), electromechanical vibrator (RF patent No. 2192840) or magnetic, electromagnetic (RF patent No. 2388451) equipped with replaceable heads, etc.

[04] Common disadvantages of these devices are the complexity of the design, high cost, limited scope (strict attachment to certain parts of the body) and the need for the participation of a specialist in the field of manual therapy.

[05] A device for shock wave massage of various parts of the body is also known from the prior art, as described in RF patent No. 119611, the author of which is also one of the authors of the utility model proposed in this application. The known device contains a body with elastic massage elements connected to a handle, the end of which has an oval shape. The body and the handle of the known device are made of elastic material, the body is made in the form of a palm, the inner part of which is made in the form of a solid rectangular base, and the back side is in the form of an isosceles trapezium, each element of which is intended for massage of a certain part of the body. The patent also provides for the possibility of placing lead plates inside the back of the palm.

[06] The device described in the patent of the Russian Federation No. 119611 is devoid of the disadvantages of the previously proposed devices, however, practice and the experience gained with its use have shown that the combination of shock wave therapy with a massage effect combined in time and place can significantly increase the therapeutic effect of the procedure.

[07] In addition, the authors found that the working surface in a number of cases was large enough and did not allow processing small body surfaces, such as: the surface of the shoulder girdle; zone of the cervicothoracic transition; adrenal zone, etc.; short muscles on the forearms, hands (forearm and hand rotators) and feet; in the areas of the ulnar and popliteal fossa; in the groin and axillary areas; in the area of facial muscles of the head, scalp, neck and décolleté; in the area of the thyroid gland and thymus.

[08] The handle of the previous model was short and did not allow reaching the muscle zone from the back for independent (without the help of another person) treatment of the area of the shoulder blades and muscles in the lumbar region.

[09] In addition, in the known device, the beating surface was made smooth and covered with a soft extension, which in some cases did not allow to exert the necessary irritating effect on the nerve receptors of tissues and did not allow obtaining the desired effect on the integumentary tissues and muscles by means of shock wave therapy. and also did not allow to produce a deep impact of the massage type.

[10] The functionality of the solution described in the patent of the Russian Federation No. 119611 is limited only to shock wave therapy and does not allow the effect of a massage type, as well as a step-by-step massage, combining shock-wave and massage effects of different types and essentially combined in time and place ...

[11] Accordingly, there is a need for a device that avoids the disadvantages of prior art devices.

[42] The pad 301, 302, 303, 304 can be made in the form of a substantially rectangular plate, on the front (working) surface of which massage or shock wave elements 401, 402, 403, 404 are placed, and the opposite surface is used to attach the patch 301, 302, 303, 304 to body plate 100.

[43] In one embodiment, the shape of the pad plates 301, 302, 303, 304 is substantially the same as the shape of the base plate of the housing 100.

[44] The pads 301, 302, 303, 304 may be attached to the body plate 100 by adhesive, welding, diffusion, or any other method that makes the pads 301, 302, 303, 304 stationary relative to the body plate 100.

[45] The pads 301, 302, 303, 304 can also be attached to the body plate 100 in a removable and replaceable manner, for example, by placing Velcro or Dual Lock fasteners on the body plate 100 and placing corresponding counterparts of the fastener on the reverse (non-working) side of the strip 301, 302, 303, 304. In addition, any other removable fastening method can be used to ensure that the strips 301, 302, 303, 304 are stationary relative to the body plate 100.

[46] In one embodiment, the two pads 301, 302, 303, 304 can also be attached to each other around the perimeter to form a pocket for an interference fit on the body plate 100. In this way, the paired pads 301 can also be replaced. 302, 303, 304.

[47] Slotted slots may be formed in the body plate 100 to receive, by interference fit, corresponding fastening pins provided on the pads for attaching the pads to the body plate 100.

[48] The handle 200 can be made of the same material as the pads 301, 302, 303, 304. In other embodiments, the handle 200 can be made of a denser material. The length of the handle 200 is preferably from 30 to 45 cm, which allows for independent (without the help of another person) treatment of any part of the body, including, but not limited to, muscle zones on the side of the back, the region of the shoulder blades and muscles in the lumbar region.

[49] FIG. 1-3 shows an example of the proposed device, on one working side of which there is a shock-wave pad 302 having needle-like impact elements 402 with a diameter at the base of up to 1 mm, a height of 3 to 4 mm and located at a distance of 1 mm from each other. On the other working side there is a massage pad 301 with massage elements 401 having a diameter at the base, preferably from 1.2 to 5 mm and a height from 5 to 7 mm, and located at a distance of 1 to 4 mm from each other. More preferably, the massage elements 401 have a base diameter of 1.2 to 2 mm.

[50] Massage pad 301 with massage elements 401 enables the capillary network to be opened in a very short time (within 1 minute of exposure) both in the skin and subcutaneous tissue and in superficial muscles, creating the effect of persistent hyperemia, allowing to reduce both fat and intercellular deposits in the skin and tissues, and the volume of the body. The massage pad 301 with massage elements 401, in accordance with the technology and physiology of tissue and muscle processing, prepares the surface tissues and muscles for the subsequent shock wave action. Performing such massage preparation using the pad 301 with massage elements 401 reduces or eliminates the likelihood of injury during subsequent shock wave therapy.

[51] The proposed device provides the possibility of using a massage pad 301 to restore capillary blood circulation in any part of the body, including in the face, neck and décolleté, to eliminate the spastic state of the facial and skin-subcutaneous muscles of the face and neck. Such a pad can be used in these areas for massage performed by rubbing the massage elements against surface tissues. A similar effect can be used for preliminary preparation before the implementation of the shock-wave effect. To enhance the general therapeutic effect after preliminary massage preparation and before performing the shock wave action, it is allowed to apply gels, ointments and cosmetic masks.

[52] The shock-wave pad 302 with impact elements 402, in accordance with the technology and physiology of tissue and muscle treatment, allows the user to perform the shock-wave action independently. The aforementioned shape and size of the massage elements 402 allow the use of large physical pressure and shock loads, allowing for a deeper penetration of the impact elements 402 into the tissues to be treated and, therefore, to achieve a better therapeutic effect. The previous massage preparation performed with the massage pad 301 with massage elements 401 reduces the likelihood of tissue injury when the shock wave is applied.

[53] Figures 4-6 show an exemplary embodiment of the proposed device, on one working side of which there is also a massage pad 301 with massage elements 401, with a diameter at the base, preferably from 1.2 to 5 mm (more preferably from 1, 2 to 2 mm) and a height of 5 to 7 mm, and on the other working side is a shock-wave pad 303 with larger cone-shaped impact elements 403 extending from the front surface of the shock-wave pad 303 to a height of, preferably, from 5 to 20 mm. More preferably, the impact members 403 extend from the face of the shock pad 303 to a height of 10 to 15 mm. Most preferably, the impact members 403 extend from the face of the shock pad 303 to a height of 12 mm.

[54] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 4 and 5, the contact end face of the striking elements 403 is spherical with a radius of curvature from 5 mm to 10 mm, more preferably from 6 to 9 mm, most preferably 8 mm.

[55] Preferably, the impact members 403 are tapered with a base diameter of 10 mm to 18 mm, more preferably 12 mm to 16 mm, most preferably 14 mm, which avoids bending when loaded and rubbed against patient tissue, and therefore , allows you to avoid a decrease in the effectiveness of shock-wave and massage effects. In addition, the design of the impact elements 403 cone-shaped allows the application of large physical forces of pressure and shock loads, allowing for a deeper penetration of the impact elements 403 into the tissues being treated and, therefore, to achieve a better therapeutic effect. This design of the striking elements also makes it possible to ensure a longer service life, since it prevents them from being unnecessarily bent over and over again.

[56] In one embodiment, the strikers 403 may be staggered on the face of the shock pad 303 so as to touch the bases of adjacent strikers 303.

[57] The use of shock-wave pad 303 immediately after massage pad 301, which can be carried out by simply turning the device in the hand, allows to achieve softening of sick, tense and shortened muscles, and muscles that are in a state of hypotension, on the contrary, bring them into a physiological state. tone.

[58] FIG. 7-9 shows an example of the implementation of the proposed device, on one working side of which there is also a massage pad 301 with massage elements 401, with a diameter at the base, preferably from 1.2 to 5 mm (more preferably from 1.2 to 2 mm) and a height of 5 to 7 mm, and on the other working side is a shock-wave pad 304 with larger cone-shaped impact elements 404, extending from the face of the shock-wave pad 304 to a height of, preferably, from 5 to 20 mm. More preferably, the impact members 404 extend from the face of the shock pad 304 to a height of 10 to 15 mm. Most preferably, the impact members 404 extend from the face of the shock pad 304 to a height of 14 mm.

[59] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 7 and 8, the contact end face of the striking elements 404 is tapered. Preferably, the tapered contact end face is formed with a taper angle of 30 to 60 degrees, more preferably 40 to 50, most preferably 45 degrees.

[60] Impact members 404 are tapered with a base diameter of 10 mm to 18 mm, more preferably 12 mm to 16 mm, most preferably 14 mm, which avoids bending when impacting and rubbing against patient tissue and therefore allows you to avoid a decrease in the effectiveness of shock wave and massage effects. In addition, making the impact elements 404 tapered allows for greater physical effort, allowing the impact elements 404 to penetrate deeper into the tissues to be treated and, therefore, to achieve a better therapeutic effect. This design of the striking elements also makes it possible to ensure a longer service life, since it prevents them from being unnecessarily bent over and over again.

[61] In one embodiment, the impact elements 404 may be staggered on the face of the shock pad 304 so as to touch the bases of the adjacent impact elements 404.

[62] The use of the shock-wave pad 304 immediately after the massage pad 301 can be carried out by simply turning the device in the hand, making it possible to restore the lost sensitivity of both the integumentary (skin) tissues of the body and extremities, and the surface of the palms and soles containing projection reflex points and areas of body parts and internal organs associated with the sensory and motor centers of the brain.

[63] In addition, the drawings do not show an embodiment of the proposed device, on one working side of which there is also a massage pad 301 with massage elements 401, with a diameter at the base, preferably from 1.2 to 5 mm (more preferably from 1, 2 to 2 mm) and a height of 5 to 7 mm, and on the other working side a shock-wave pad having elements in the form of ribs having a trapezoidal section and extending from the front surface of the shock-wave pad to a height of, preferably from 5 to 20 mm ... More preferably, the ribs extend from the face of the shock pad to a height of 10 to 15 mm. Most preferably, the ribs extend from the face of the shock pad to a height of 12 mm. In this case, the ribs can be located parallel to each other at a distance of preferably from 18 to 22 mm and run perpendicular to the centerline connecting the midpoints of the short sides of the shock-wave lining.

[64] In one embodiment, said ribs have an isosceles trapezoid in cross-section, the larger base of which is located on the face of the massage pad and has a length of 10 mm, and the smaller base has a length, preferably from 1 to 4 mm, most preferably 2 mm ... Such a design of the ribs increases the contact surface and provides a greater irritating effect on the skin capillaries, which enhances local tissue blood circulation, and with it, lymphatic drainage.

[65] Said ribs can also be located on the front surface of the shock-wave pad with the formation on the front surface of V-shaped broken lines with vertices located on the centerline connecting the midpoints of the short sides of the pad, and the links of the broken line run on opposite sides of the specified the middle line. Preferably, the ribs form on the face surface V-shaped broken lines facing the different short sides of the patch, with the links of these lines extending from the centerline at an angle of 60 °.

[66] This design of the ribs provides the ability to collect (tighten) the skin to the midline and push them apart, leading to tension and stretching of the tissues located between the skin itself and the muscle fascia. Since the main vessels (arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels) are located in the fascia of the muscles, the effect of such a massage pad on the patient's tissues enhances the drainage function and affects the underlying tissues.

[67] Despite the fact that the above described embodiments of the utility model, the essence of the utility model is not limited to the specified embodiments disclosed in the description, and despite the fact that specialists in the art may implement other embodiments by adding, changing or exclusion of the specified components within the same essence of the utility model, the specified embodiments are also included in the scope of the proposed utility model.
