Description

The utility model relates to the field of physiotherapeutic cosmetology, in particular to the field of ozone therapy, and concerns the design of a capsule-type device for external impact on the integumentary parts of a person.

Ozone is widely used in various fields of medicine and cosmetology. In the treatment of a number of diseases, it allows you to suppress the pathogenic flora by refusing medications with a large number of complications or by reducing the dose of drugs. Ozone is in demand in urology, gynecology, dermatology, infectious therapy, surgery, dentistry, gastroenterology, as well as in cosmetology, because it can eliminate or prevent many problems (RU 2723460).

Ozone destroys free radicals, stimulates the production of its own elastin and collagen, smoothes wrinkles, eliminates cellulite, normalizes the skin's moisture retention function. Ozone therapy is carried out to combat acne and blackheads, general rejuvenation, preparation for peeling, elimination of vascular "asterisks", body shaping and weight loss. In the treatment of cellulite, the effect is comparable to liposuction. The effect of ozone therapy is based on the bioinfluence of ozone. This gas has strong oxidizing properties, which is manifested by a number of effects: bactericidal, vericidal, aseptic, fungicidal and anti-allergic. Ozone also stimulates the microcirculation of fluids in body tissues. Since the gas is involved in redox reactions, it stimulates metabolic processes, increases cellular immunity, kills pathogenic flora, removes dead cells and slows down the aging process. The skin and subcutaneous fat layer are rejuvenated, the production of bioactive substances is enhanced in them, blood circulation is normalized, and inflammation is eliminated. Local fat deposits are also eliminated, which is in demand not only for body correction, but also for the face: with the help of ozone, you can eliminate the second chin, make the line of cheeks and cheekbones more aesthetic, remove “bags” under the eyes, etc. When treating cellulite, fat deposits literally dissolve , and together with them, fibrous capsules are removed, which make up the cellulite "net" (Kovalchuk L.S. "Biological and biochemical foundations of ozone therapy", "Problems of health and ecology", 2007, pp. 93-101).

When applied externally, the gas eliminates pathogenic bacteria and viruses, fungi and protozoa - even those that are resistant to other treatments. Also with its help stop external bleeding, promote wound healing. The mixture of oxygen and ozone stimulates the regeneration process, is easily tolerated, has a pronounced effect and is well combined with other therapeutic and surgical techniques. This type of ozone therapy is applicable to eliminate the complications of varicose veins, burns, trophic ulcers, non-healing and infected wounds (Barkhotkina T.M. "Ozone therapy in otorhinolaryngology", T.M. Barkhotkina, R.S. Tomashevsky "Bioradicals and antioxidants", 2017, 4, No. 3, pp. 55-58 and Iskhakov R.R., F.R. Saifullin "Ozone therapy in ophthalmology", Kazan Medical Journal, 2013, vol. 94, No. 4, pp. 510-516).

In subsequent years, information on the successful use of ozone in the treatment of various diseases gradually accumulated. However, for a long time, ozone therapy methods were mainly used, associated with direct contacts of the gas with the outer surface and various body cavities. Ozone-oxygen gas mixture at high (40 - 80 µg/ml) ozone concentrations in it is extremely effective in the treatment of heavily infected, poorly healing wounds, bedsores, gangrene, burns, fungal skin lesions, etc., and also as a hemostatic agent. Low concentrations of ozone promote epithelialization and healing (“Basic principles and tactics of ozone therapy”, a manual for doctors, Russian Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine and Balneology, M, 2001).

Ozone therapy is a non-drug physiotherapeutic method based on the use of ozone for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. The main active ingredient is an unstable megamolecule formed by three oxygen atoms, which has one free bond, which ensures its high activity. Despite the high oxidizing potential, ozone interacts extremely selectively. The reason for this selectivity is the polar structure of the ozone molecule, or more precisely, the positively polarized oxygen atom, which gives the whole molecule an electrophilic character. Therefore, molecules with a high electron density are the most preferred reactive elements. Compounds with free C=C double bonds react instantly, phenols and free amines are oxidized in seconds, while, for example, alcohols are oxidized within a few hours. Among the causes of the bactericidal effect of ozone, the violation of the integrity of the membranes of bacterial cells caused by the oxidation of phospholipids and lipoproteins is most often mentioned. There are also data on the interaction of ozone with proteins. The ability of ozone to penetrate into a microbial cell was discovered, which leads to its entry into a reaction with cytoplasmic substances and the transformation of a closed DNA plasmid into open DNA; thereby reducing the proliferation of bacteria. The virucidal effect of ozone is associated with damage to the polypeptide chains of the envelope, which can lead to a disruption in the ability of viruses to attach to target cells and the splitting of one RNA strand into two parts, undermining the foundation of the multiplication reaction. Encapsulated viruses are more sensitive to ozone than non-encapsulated ones. This is due to the fact that the capsule contains many lipids that easily interact with ozone.

Currently, ozone therapy is successfully used as a tool for improving the body's immunological reactivity and emotional state during a sparing physiotherapy procedure of a cosmetic nature.

Thus, a device for conducting sessions of systemic ozone therapy is known, containing a housing made in the form of a chamber with a seat for the patient and with a door opposite the seat, a gaseous ozone generator and an air mass supply unit located inside the chamber (WO 2021174668, A61G 10/02, A61H 33/ 14, A61N 1/44, A61N 5/06, F24F 3/16, published 09/10/2021 ).

This device is made in the form of a rigid cabin with a door opposite the seat placed on the floor of the cabin for the patient. In the upper part of the cabin in the area of the rear wall there is a human body heating unit in the form of an infrared heating device, in the lower part behind the walls of the cabin there is a unit for removing gases from the cabin volume in order to clean it. Also in the upper part of the cabin, outside behind its walls, there is a unit for preparing and supplying medical gas (oxygen, helium, hydrogen and ozone with air) into the volume of the cabin, the outlet nozzle of which is led through the roof of the cabin into it. Thus, during ozone therapy, the patient is completely in the internal volume of the cabin.

The cabin is made of a parallelepiped shape with an internal volume significantly exceeding the volume occupied by the patient, which requires a sufficiently large consumption of the gas component and increased power of the unit for preparing and supplying medical gas to the volume of the cabin in terms of gas supply to the cabin. It also requires an increase in the capacity of the gas outlet unit from the cab. This leads to unreasonable energy and power costs.

In addition, the patient is inside the cabin and receives exposure to all parts of the body: eyes, lungs and bare skin. When carrying out cosmetic or health-improving ozone therapy, in order to exclude the adverse effects of ozone or a gas containing ozone on a person, it is necessary that the exposed areas of the patient's skin surface undergoing therapy be isolated from the patient's eyes and respiratory system.

Thus, it is known that ozone has a destructive effect on the respiratory system, reduces lung function and increases the risk of developing an asthmatic attack. In June of this year, Chinese scientists published the results of a study in which they proved that ozone is also dangerous for the cardiovascular system. According to them, ozone increases the activity of platelets and leads to an increase in blood pressure. American scientists in June 2017 published data that ozone significantly increases the risk of developing autism in people from a high genetic risk group. Finally, a study published in 2015 by doctors in Pennsylvania showed that ozone in the air at the same concentration as in large cities affects the number of eggs ready for fertilization and reduces the level of testerone during the period of ovulation in mice. It is possible that a high concentration of ozone in the air is one of the risk factors for infertility.

Prolonged and regular exposure to ozone on a person leads to the following consequences: irritation of the respiratory system, development of asthma, respiratory depression, increased risk of allergic reactions, increased risk of male infertility. The penetration of a high concentration of ozone into the human body through the respiratory organs or prolonged interaction with this substance can cause severe intoxication. The first signs of poisoning from the respiratory system are detected: With systematic contact, ozone can affect the human body as follows: structural transformations of the bronchi occur, various respiratory diseases develop and worsen: pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, a decrease in breathing volume leads to attacks of suffocation and complete cessation of respiratory function. When exposed to gas on the eyes, their tearing, the occurrence of pain, redness of the mucous membrane, and vasodilation can be observed. In some cases, deterioration or complete loss of vision occurs.

The need to isolate the patient's head during ozone therapy is proved in RU 2723460, in which the patient during the session of this therapy was in a soft chamber "overalls" made of dense gas-tight material, and in which the patient's head was outside the bag and was isolated from ozone.

Thus, the known solution does not allow to conduct sessions of ozone therapy in conditions that are safe for the organs of vision and the respiratory system of the patient. In addition, the known solution is energy-consuming.

This utility model is aimed at achieving a technical result, which consists in increasing the biological safety for the patient of conducting ozone therapy sessions by reducing the useful volume for placing the patient and positioning the patient's head outside the zone of influence of ozone-containing gas from the useful volume.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the device for conducting sessions of systemic ozone therapy, containing a body made in the form of a chamber with a seat for the patient and with a door opposite the seat, a gaseous ozone generator and an air mass supply unit located inside the chamber, the air mass supply unit is made in in the form of a constant capacity steam generator connected to a temperature sensor to turn off the steam generator when the set temperature inside the chamber is reached, and the gaseous ozone generator is designed with a capacity adjustment function, the air mass supply unit is located in the lower part of the housing and the outlet pipe is directed upwards, and the gaseous ozone generator is located at the outlet a branch pipe in the upper part of the body, the door is made in the form of two opposite wings, the body is made of a polymeric material and has a base and a rear wall extending from it with a triangular side wall, with which the door leaves are pivotally connected ts located obliquely from the base to the tapered top of the housing, while in the upper part of the housing and on the upper sections of the flaps, cutouts are made to organize an opening for placing the patient's head outside with its support on the headrest fixed on the housing.

These features are essential and are interconnected with the formation of a stable set of essential features sufficient to obtain the desired technical result.

This utility model is illustrated by a specific example of execution, which, however, is not the only possible one, but clearly demonstrates the possibility of achieving the required technical result.

Fig. 1 - General view of the device for conducting sessions of systemic ozone therapy;

fig. 2 is the same as in Fig. 1, with open doors; fig. 3 is a block diagram of the device of FIG. 1.

According to this utility model, the design of a device for conducting sessions of systemic ozone therapy by exposing a turbulently swirling mixture of air in the form of steam with ozone to the skin of the body, except for the head, is considered.

According to the present utility model, the design of the claimed device has the following construction algorithm:

- the body made of polymeric material is made in the form of a chamber with a seat 1 for the patient and with a door opposite the seat, which is made in the form of two opposite doors 2;

- the body has a base 3 and a rear wall 4 extending from it, connected to the triangular side walls 5, with which the door leaves are hinged (hinges or hinges 6), located obliquely from the base to the tapered top of the body;

- cutouts are made in the upper part of the body and on the upper sections of the wings to organize an opening for placing the patient's head outside with its support on the headrest 7 fixed on the body;

- inside the chamber there is a gaseous ozone generator 8 and an air mass supply unit 9;

- air mass supply unit 9 is made in the form of a constant capacity steam generator connected to a temperature sensor to turn off the steam generator when the set temperature inside the chamber is reached;

- the generator 8 of gaseous ozone is made with the function of adjusting the performance;

- the air mass supply unit 9 is located in the lower part of the housing and the outlet pipe is directed upwards, and the gaseous ozone generator 8 is placed with the outlet pipe in the upper part of the housing;

Such a construct makes it possible to increase the biological safety of ozone therapy sessions for the patient by reducing the useful volume for placing the patient and forming a turbulently swirling flow of air-ozone mass and positioning the patient's head outside the zone of influence of ozone-containing gas from the useful volume.

At present, the positive effect of the physiotherapeutic effect of ozone (in particular, medical ozone in strict dosages) on the patient's skin in the treatment of patients with endometriosis for the prevention of adhesions in the postoperative period, with intolerance to hormonal drugs, chronic pelvic pain has already been proven. It has been established that ozone therapy as part of the complex treatment of external genital endometriosis using medical ozone can improve the reactivity of the immune system, has an antiviral effect, reduces the aggressive effect of oxidative stress on body cells, has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, and helps to overcome the depressive mood associated with the disease (RU 2723460).

The physiotherapeutic effect of ozone exposure on the skin has also been proven when it is used in appropriate sparing doses at cosmetology sessions, which allows, with systemic exposure, to increase the body's immune response, skin tone and obtain a visually perceived effect of rejuvenation.

Below is an example of a specific implementation of the claimed utility model (Fig. 1-3).

The housing is made of a polymeric material, which makes it possible to obtain complexly configured surfaces of the housing parts by molding. At the same time, the body is quite light compared to other types of materials. Resistant to external influences, in particular to ultraviolet (UV) and heating up to 70 ° C. Allows you to easily, quickly and effectively sanitize internal surfaces after each session. It is in connection with these properties that polymeric materials have become widespread in the field of medical technology. In particular, we are talking about materials such as ABS plastic or ASA plastic (resistant to disinfectants, UV, temperature and chemistry).

The body is made in the form of a chamber with a rear wall 4 molded integrally with the seat 1 for the patient (as an embodiment). From the base 3 of the housing and from the rear wall 4 depart, made integral with these parts, the side walls 5. The side walls 5 are made tapering towards the top of the housing and, in fact, have a triangular shape in plan. In the front part of the housing, a door is connected to the side walls in the form of two opposite wings 2, which are pivotally connected to the side walls. These shutters are arranged obliquely in the direction from the base to the top of the body. Thus, the body has a tapered upper part, a base with a seat and side walls with a door, forming a capsule shape of the body. A closed volume is formed inside the body, which is a chamber in which the patient is in a sitting position. At the same time, the shape of the body tapering towards the top allows you to create a reduced amount of space around the seated patient. Therefore, it became possible to reduce the consumption of steam and ozone and, accordingly, use equipment with low energy consumption in terms of power.

The area of influence of the ozone-containing air mass should be isolated and extend only to the skin of the body, with the exception of access to the eyes and respiratory organs. For this purpose, a cutout is made in the upper part of the housing, forming a chamber for the patient, part of the wall of which runs along the upper edge of the rear wall of the housing, and other parts of the walls of the opening run along the upper edges of the flaps. When the door is opened, the doors diverge to the sides and allow the patient to enter the chamber and sit on a chair. Then the flaps are closed, and the walls of the opening are located around the cervical section of the head, isolating the head from the internal volume of the chamber. In this case, the patient's head rests on a headrest attached to the rear wall of the housing or made integral with this wall.

If the patient seat is molded integrally with the back wall, then this allows the seat space to be used to accommodate an ozone gas generator and an air mass supply unit. At the same time, the air mass supply unit is made in the form of a constant capacity steam generator connected to a temperature sensor to turn off the steam generator when the set temperature inside the chamber is reached (for example, when the temperature reaches 40 ° C, the signal from the sensor enters the control unit and the steam generator is turned off, turned on, e.g. when the temperature falls below 30°C). The gaseous ozone generator is designed with a performance adjustment function. Both units are designed to supply agents to the volume of the chamber in the required doses and volumes. At the same time, the layout of the air mass supply unit and the gaseous ozone generator are placed either in the area under the patient's seat, or on opposite sides of the seat and the outlet pipes are directed towards each other (Fig. 3). At the same time, the air mass supply unit is located in the lower part of the housing and the outlet pipe is directed upwards, and the gaseous ozone generator is placed with the outlet pipe in the upper part of the housing, which allows the mass flow to move vertically. Given the small volume of the enclosed space around the seated patient, the steam flow is directed to the zone of the ozone generator nozzle, where ozone molecules interact with vaporous water molecules. The power to move the steam allows the steam flow to move along the inner surface of the housing around the patient. Reaching the opposite wall, the steam enriched with ozone returns towards the patient, where it collides with a new portion of steam. There is a twisting of the flow, causing its turbulence in the area where a person is located and mixing a new portion of steam with portions enriched with ozone. Such a turbulent movement of ozone-enriched steam envelops the patient's body and slides along it with a simultaneous physiotherapeutic effect on the skin.

The effect of steam on the skin at gentle temperatures (for example, a Russian bath or a Turkish bath) allows the human body to maintain its own temperature regime. Sweat is 98-99% water molecules, and one or two percent are organic and mineral substances. It is secreted to the surface of the body by the sweat glands. Water molecules move, gathering in droplets on the skin. This is due to the bonds between molecules. Being in a drop, they move randomly - some faster, others slower, sometimes crashing into each other. And the more heat, the faster they move. In this case, the release of the skin half of the blood and its purification occurs, in which parts of the sweat remain on the skin.

Ozone is a gas that is highly soluble in water, and its solubility increases with decreasing temperature. When ozone is dissolved in water vapor, it also decomposes, proceeding with simultaneous interaction with pollutants present in the water and in the released sweat. The reactions of ozone splitting in water vapor are associated with its interaction with water molecules and hydroxide ions. As a result of these reactions, diatomic oxygen molecules are released, which also has high oxidizing properties, and the formation of hydrogen and hydroxide ions, as well as hydrogen peroxide. During dissociation, hydrogen peroxide forms hydrogen ions and particles of free radicals, which accelerate the process of ozone decomposition, as well as leading to the beginning of chain reactions of decomposition of impurities. These particles include super-oxygen radicals, consisting of two atoms and having a negative charge. The brake of the decomposition process is the ions of carbonates and bicarbonates, which neutralize the interaction of hydroxide ions by forming carbon dioxide and water. Thus, the processes occurring during the dissolution of ozone in a water vapor medium proceed simultaneously through several mechanisms. According to the conclusions from practice, it is assumed that when dissolved, one half of ozone exists in the form of molecules, and the second decomposes with the formation of hydroxyl radicals. Thus, the chemical interaction of ozone in the environment of water vapor with the human skin takes place. And the physiotherapeutic interaction is proven in RU 2723460 and the practice of using ozone in cosmetic ozone therapy.

A feature of the claimed utility model is also that the seat 1 can be molded integrally with the back wall of the housing or the seat 1 can be made as a separate part fixed on the back wall or on the side walls 5. For example, in Fig. 2 shows an example of execution, according to which grooves 10 are made in the side walls 5 along the height of the walls, into which the seat is inserted to adjust its position in height from the base and taking into account the height of the patient. Also, the side walls can be molded integrally with the rear wall of the housing.

On the front surface of one of the flaps there is a touch display 11 with time controls and adjustments for selecting metered water vapor and ozone, an on/off button and other functions that set the mode for conducting an ozone therapy session.
