Description

 The invention relates to medical equipment, specifically to devices used in metal and ion therapy.

 Metal bracelets as jewelry appeared in the Bronze Age. Later, some varieties of bracelets, primarily copper, began to be used for medicinal purposes along with other varieties of such devices, in particular metal applicators.

 Known medical bracelet made of a set of copper threads [1]. Its disadvantage is a weak therapeutic effect, firstly due to the fact that all copper filaments are under the same potential, and when a bracelet is worn on the wrist, copper ions are not introduced into the skin in sufficient quantities (copper is a trace element necessary for humans), and secondly, the fact that ultralow-frequency (VLF) flicker-noise electrical vibrations that occur at the skin-copper interface are too low to have a noticeable effect on the body.

 As a prototype of the claimed biological corrector, any bracelet made of a conductive material can be selected. We as a prototype of the claimed device selected a bracelet made of silver [2]. The disadvantage of the prototype bracelet, which is a biological corrector of impaired body functions, is also a weak therapeutic effect, due to the same reasons as the analog device [1].

 The technical result, the achievement of which the claimed solution is directed, is the enhancement of the therapeutic effect.

 This is achieved by the fact that in a biological corrector made of a conductor in the form of a rigid ring-shaped or flexible one that takes an annular shape when grasping a part of the human body, the layers of metals selected from the series are deposited on the working surface of the base in separate sections: manganese, zinc, iron , cobalt, nickel and copper, and additional metal layers with an electrode potential exceeding the maximum electrode potential of the deposited metals from the above series, while the thickness of the layers deposited on the base is Allov is in the range of 10-40 microns. This is also achieved by the fact that all the metals of the named series are deposited on the working surface of the base, and by the fact that each section formed by a layer of one metal from the named series is separated from the nearest section formed by a layer of another metal from the same series, by a layer of additional metal. In the particular case, this is achieved by the fact that the base is made in the form of a perforated thickened tape, or by the fact that the working surface of the base is made corrugated, or by the fact that protrusions in the form of a body of revolution are made on the working surface of the base.

 In FIG. Figures 1-4 show four variants of a biological corrector (out of many possible) made in the form of a bracelet.

 The biological corrector shown in FIG. 1, contains a conductive base 1 made of an elastic conductive material, on the inner working surface of which are deposited in separate sections layers of manganese 2, zinc 3, iron 4, cobalt 5, nickel 6 and copper 7, which are friendly trace elements for humans and silver 8 (silver areas in the figures are not shaded). Each section formed by a layer of one of the metals 2-7 is separated from the nearest section formed by a layer of another metal from the same row, a section of metal 8.

 The number of sections of each of metals 2 - 7 is generally not the same. Most of all, plots (layers) of iron and zinc are applied to the base, least of all - from cobalt and nickel (in accordance with the human need for trace elements). Layers 2 - 7 can also be applied to the base 1 in the form of separate islands.

 In FIG. 2 shows a variant of a biological corrector made in the form of an elastic flexible perforated thickened tape. Holes 9 are through. The tape bends around the part of the human body that needs to be affected (metal layers applied to the skin adhere to the skin).

 In FIG. 3 shows a variant of a biological corrector made corrugated. In each section, formed by a layer of one metal, in this embodiment, contains one protrusion.

 In FIG. Figure 4 shows a variant of a biological corrector, in which each section formed by a layer of one metal contains one or two protrusions 10 made in the form of a body of revolution (the protrusions that are part of one section are coated with metal of the same section). The protrusions can also be located at the boundaries of the plots.

 The standard electrode potentials of the metals used to apply the biological corrector to the working part are, in B: Mn -1.78; Zn -0.763; Fe -0.440 and -0.036; Co -0.277 and +0.400; Ni 0.250; Cu +0.521 and +0.337; Ag +0.799. The highest electrode potential among these metals has Ag, which in the biological corrector acts as a cathode, and Mn, Zn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu act as local anodes. When two metals with different electrode potentials (different work function of the electrons) are connected, electrons from a metal having a lower electrode potential transfer to a metal having a higher electrode potential, and the first one becomes an anode and the second a cathode.

 It is most expedient to apply metals 2–8 to base 1 using electrochemical cathodic deposition from solutions of the corresponding electrolytes. The coating thickness should be at least 10 microns (for a coating of silver, which acts as an insoluble cathode, 10 microns is sufficient). The structure of the metal coating should be dense, crystalline, without pores (which retains the luster of 2-8 metals deposited on the base 1 for longer). It is possible to deposit on the base 1 or less than seven metals, for example zinc, cobalt, copper and silver.

 The biological corrector may have other designs. It can be made in the form of a bracelet for a watch, a ring (for putting on a finger), a chain and other items. To improve consumer properties, the outer side of the bracelet or ring can be made in a decorative and artistic form.

 The bracelets shown in FIG. 1, 3 and 4, as well as the prototype bracelet [2], one can consider both rigid ring-shaped devices and flexible devices that can be adapted to a specific ring-shaped shape of the covered part of the human body (by deforming them). Therefore, in the restrictive part of the claims, which is given at the end of the description, alternative features are introduced "rigid or flexible basis".

 The biological corrector performs the therapeutic effect on humans due to constant microcurrents under the influence of EMF arising at the boundaries between metals with different values of electrode potential, electrophoresis (introducing microelements into the skin from local anodes) and flicker-noise electrical vibrations that occur at the skin-metal interface. In this case, each metal gives its amplitude-frequency spectrum in the boundary layer of the skin. The upper cutoff frequency of flicker noise in the skin layer in contact with the metal does not exceed 20 Hz. VLF flicker-noise processes also occur in various systems, organs, tissues and elements of human tissues, in particular in biological membranes, acupuncture points and meridians. VLF vibrational processes that occur at the skin-metal interface interact with vibrational processes in the skin, which ultimately leads to the normalization of physico-chemical processes in the body.

 To enhance the therapeutic effect, the biological corrector during the day needs to be shifted several times (in any direction) relative to the previous position on the skin surface. In this case, transient exponential electrochemical processes occur between the metals and the skin and the level of flicker noise at the boundaries of individual metal sections with the skin increases compared with the case when the biological corrector remains stationary relative to the skin surface for a long time (any transient process has a flicker noise spectrum) .

 The following is an example of the effect of the claimed biological corrector on the human body.

 Example. Patient P. - 60 years old, height 172 cm, weight 150 kg. Diagnosis: obesity 5 tbsp., Hypertension IIIA tbsp., Atrial fibrillation, cholelithiasis, acute cholecystitis. Was admitted to the hospital with complaints of acute paroxysmal pain in the right hypochondrium, disturbing the patient for the past two years. At the onset of the disease, attacks in the hypochondrium, headaches, shortness of breath at rest, and arrhythmia were removed by intravenous administration of antispasmodics and anti-inflammatory therapy. In addition to bouts of cholecystitis, the patient was worried about high blood pressure (200/110 mm Hg) and atrial fibrillation, which the drugs had no practical effect on.

 Two weeks before cholecystectomy, a bracelet was put on the wrist of the patient’s right hand, having the shape shown in FIG. 3. On the working surface of the bracelet were deposited layers of zinc, cobalt, nickel, copper and silver. By the end of the 10th day, when the patient had a stable rhythm of the heart rhythm and blood pressure dropped to 150/90 mm RT. Art., she underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (under endotracheal anesthesia with mechanical ventilation). In the postoperative period, the hemodynamics of the patient stabilized. Blood pressure and pulse remained unchanged. On the sixth day after the operation, the patient was discharged from the clinic under the supervision of a therapist.
