Description

The invention relates to the field of medical technology, in particular to devices, the action of which is based on a combination of vacuum-magnetotherapeutic exposure to an alternating vacuum and a traveling pulsed magnetic field for the medication-free treatment of sexual dysfunctions in men caused by vascular diseases and nervous disorders, and is intended for use in medical treatment - preventive and sanatorium institutions, clinics, as well as in home, camping and extreme conditions on the recommendation of a doctor.

A device is known for physiotherapeutic effects for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, including a vacuum chamber with a means of sealing the penis in a vacuum chamber and a valve arranged in such a way that the reciprocating movement of the parts of the device serves to pump air from the vacuum chamber (US Patent No. 6458073, class A61F 5 / 41, published October 1, 2002).

The complex design of the vacuum chamber is difficult to disinfect with repeated use of the device.

A device for the physiotherapeutic action for treating erectile dysfunction is known, including a vacuum chamber and an electronic control unit located on its closed end to create a cyclic change in pressure in the vacuum chamber, causing the penis to transition to an erectile state during each working cycle and then return to a relaxed state ( US patent No. 6183414, CL A61F 5/41, publ. 02/06/2001).

The combined design of the vacuum chamber with the control unit is difficult to disinfect with repeated use of the device. The device requires sophisticated sealing tools.

A physiotherapeutic device for treating erectile dysfunction is known, including a double-flange vacuum chamber to facilitate accurate placement of the diaphragm, vacuum tubes, an electric pump, several diaphragms forming a ring seal, several rings of different sizes for a comfortable and safe installation at the base of the genital organ (US patent No. 6277062, class A61F 5/41, publ. 08.21.2001).

The device is difficult to seal for vacuum therapy. The use of one type of physiotherapeutic effect does not allow to exclude drug treatment.

A device for magnetotherapy containing a power supply is connected, to which an inductor is made, made in the form of a frame with a winding, inside which there is a cavity for accommodating a biological object, and the inductor coils are telescopically one into the other and kinematically connected with a lifting device (see RF patent for the invention No. 2084247, IPC A61N 2/00, publ. 07.20.97).

The device is not compact, it provides one type of physiotherapeutic effect - magnetotherapy with a running magnetic field and is not adapted for the treatment of sexual dysfunctions in men.

A conformal magnetotherapeutic installation is known, comprising inductors covering a bioobject made in the form of miniaturized electromagnets with cores fixed in the holes of a plate of magnetically transparent and flexible material using a cover of magnetically transparent elastic material stitched through the thickness of the plate, and a control device made electrically connected to the inductors made in a PC with a switching unit of inductors (RF patent for the invention No. 2212909, IPC A61N 2/00, publ. 04/20/2003).

The device provides one type of physiotherapeutic effect - magnetotherapy (running and swirling right- and left-handed rotating magnetic fields) according to the program and is not suitable for small bioobjects due to the complexity of bending the plate with inductor electromagnets, which makes it unsuitable for highly effective treatment of diseases of the male reproductive system. The high cost of the device is associated with the use of a PC.

Closest to the claimed apparatus for physiotherapy is a device comprising a flask (in the form of a hollow cylinder) made with the possibility of hermetic placement on the genitals, a vacuum pump connected to the cavity of the flask, an inductor whose electromagnetic coils are built into the walls of the flask in such a way that the cavity of the bulb is the cavity of the inductor, and a control unit with pulse shapers, a demultiplexer and a generator (RF patent for the invention No. 2072822, IPC A61H 9/00, A61H 19/00, A61N 2/00, publ. 10. 02.1997, the prototype).

The device is low-tech, difficult to manufacture due to the placement of electromagnetic coils in the side wall of the bulb. Moreover, the flask has a significant wall thickness and mass, which complicates its operation, disinfection and sealing by simple means. The device does not have wide application because of the high cost, low reliability and safety of use, the complexity of sealing and disinfection, the large dimensions and weight of the bulb, the inconvenience of operation.

Known methods for the treatment of disorders of sexual functions, based in men using only one type of physiotherapeutic effect - vacuum.

A known method of treating impotence, based on exposure to the penis of a vacuum, and evacuation is carried out at a pressure of from 596 to 462 mm Hg 1.5-2 minutes, 3-4 times per session for a course of treatment of 10-12 sessions (USSR author's certificate for the invention No. 774558, class А61М 16/02, А61Н 9/00, publ. 10.30.1980).

A known method of treating erectile vascular impotence, including the impact on the penis with local pressure changing in a pulsed mode, the effect of reduced pressure in the range from 525 to 360 mm Hg alternates with the supply of oxygen under high pressure in the range from 760 to 1200 mm Hg. (USSR copyright certificate for the invention No. 1821185, class A61H 9/00, publ. June 15, 1993).

A known method of treating impotence, including exposure to the penis with local negative pressure by repeated procedures to reduce and increase the pressure in the minibar chamber during one session, moreover, the pressure is increased impulse, and each subsequent procedure in the session is carried out against a background of residual negative pressure sufficient to maintain a passive erection (USSR copyright certificate for the invention No. 1410977, class A61H 9/00, publ. 05.29.1986).

A common drawback of the above methods for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in men is the use of only one type of physiotherapeutic effect - evacuation, which does not completely exclude drug treatment.

Known methods and devices for the treatment of disorders of sexual functions in men, based on the use of simultaneously two types of physiotherapeutic effects:

- evacuation and vibration massage (RF patent for the invention No. 2098069, IPC А61Н 23/00, А61Н 19/00, publ. 10.12.1997).

- electrophoresis and intermittent evacuation (RF patent for the invention No. 2055568, class A61H 9/00, A61N 1/30, A61F 5/41, publ. 03/10/1996);

- evacuation and heat obtained by passing heated water through a tube installed in the evacuation flask for the treatment of sexual dysfunction, impotence, premature ejaculation, prostatitis (utility model patent CN No. 2346430, А61Н 19/00, published on November 3, 1999) .

A common drawback of the above methods and devices is the difficulty of implementation, the high cost and the possibility of use mainly in medical institutions.

Closest to the proposed method is a method of physiotherapeutic exposure for the treatment of impotence, based on a combination of vacuum-magnetotherapeutic exposure to an alternating vacuum and a traveling pulsed magnetic field on the genital organ using a bulb and a pulsed traveling magnetic field inductor with many magnetic field sources combined into a non-separable connection in this case, the genital organ hermetically placed to the pubis is installed simultaneously in the flask and inductor, the cavity of which olost bulb (RF patent №2072822, IPC A61N 9/00, A61N 19/00, A61N 2/00, publ 10.02.1997 city - a prototype).

Significant time is required to prepare for the procedure according to the known method, which is associated with the inconvenience of placement and the difficulty of sealing the penis in the flask with electromagnetic coils built into its walls. The significant dimensions and weight of the flask, as well as the difficulty of disinfection of the external and internal surfaces of the flask combined with the inductor, did not allow the creation of a mass production device. If the bulb is accidentally dropped during its sealing, the entire device may break. The device does not meet the requirements of high safety, reliability, hygiene and has a high cost. In addition, the stimulating combined effect of low pressure with the simultaneous effect of a traveling magnetic field does not have pronounced anti-inflammatory properties due to the creation of a weak magnetic field and low thermal effect of the inductor on the flask due to the complexity of using electromagnetic coils with a large number of turns.

A self-contained inductor is known for a device for applying a pulsed magnetic field to large-sized bioobjects connected to a power supply unit and made in the form of a frame with a main and two pairs of correcting windings, inside which a cavity is made to accommodate bioobjects, and pairs of correcting windings are located at the corresponding entrances to the cavity (author's USSR certificate No. 1567213, class A61N 2/00, published on July 6, 1988 - prototype).

The location of two pairs of corrective windings at the entrances to the cavity of the inductor does not allow the use of an inseparable part of the biological object for exposure to a pulsed magnetic field. In addition, the inductor does not have a traveling magnetic field exposure mode.

Closest to the claimed inductor is an inductor of a pulsating traveling magnetic field, the frame of which is made in the form of a bulb with electromagnetic coils built into its walls (RF patent for the invention No. 2072822, IPC А61Н 9/00, А61Н 19/00, A61N 2/00, publ 02/10/1997 - a prototype).

The inductor provides a weak magnetic and insufficient heat uneven along the length of the flask, which leads to ineffective treatment.

Known mini-chamber physiotherapeutic effects for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in men, made in the form of a cylindrical flask with an inductor built into the wall and an open smooth end (RF patent for the invention No. 2072822, IPC A61H 9/00, A61H 19/00, A61N 2/00, publ. 02/10/1997).

The known mini-chamber design is difficult to seal.

Known vacuum flask made with an annular side on the outer surface of the flask and with the ability to connect to the source of its discharge (RF patent for industrial design No. 42748, MKPO 24-01, publ. 08.16.1996, prototype).

The rounded annular flange does not provide reliable sealing of the vacuum flask due to low adhesion to elastic sealing means. The flask has non-optimal dimensions, which complicates the vacuum therapy and limits its use.

Closest to the proposed is a transparent vacuum flask for the treatment of impotence, the proximal end of which has a bevel at an acute angle to the axis of the flask, and the distal end is made wider (USSR author's certificate for invention No. 1801419, IPC A61F 5/41, publ. March 15, 1993 g. - prototype).

The presence of a sharp edge reduces the safety of use. Caution is required, increased attention when installing the flask on the penis, which reduces the efficiency, ease of use, and also makes it difficult to obtain high-quality sealing of the vacuum flask.

Known means for sealing a vacuum flask made in the form of several rings and several elastic diaphragms for selection by the user (US patent No. 6277062, class A61F 5/41, publ. 08.21.2001).

The disadvantage of such a complete set of compactors mini-chamber in its large nomenclature and cost.

Known sealant of the vacuum chamber of physiotherapeutic effects for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in men, made in the form of an elastic ring for tight interaction with the surface of the penis inserted into the vacuum chamber (US patent No. 6458073, class A61F 5/41, publ. 01.10.2002 g .).

Closest to the proposed is a vacuum chamber seal made in the form of an elastic cuff (USSR author's certificate for the invention No. 1801419, IPC A61F 5/41, publ. March 15, 1993 - prototype).

An insufficient degree of sealing and low efficiency of fixation limits its use.

The technical result of the proposed apparatus for physiotherapy for the treatment of disorders of sexual functions in men is to increase the effectiveness of the therapeutic effect, reliability and safety of use, ease of sealing and disinfection of the flask, ease of use, low cost.

The technical result of the proposed method of physiotherapeutic effects for the treatment of sexual dysfunctions in men is to provide non-drug highly effective treatment of sexual dysfunctions in men due to the possibility of using three physiotherapeutic effects simultaneously (intermittent vacuum, pulsed traveling magnetic field and heat), and to increase the efficiency and hygiene of physiotherapeutic procedures (by reducing the time to prepare for the procedure) and mim in the reduction of time without drug treatment of disorders of sexual function in men.

The technical result of the inductor for the method and apparatus of physiotherapeutic effect in the treatment of disorders of sexual functions in men is the possibility of using a pulsed traveling magnetic field and heat simultaneously with intermittent evacuation for the treatment of disorders of sexual functions in men.

- the magnetic field is switched off by setting the “0 Hz” value on the status indicator 8 using the “Field frequency” button;

- rarefaction on the interval of high vacuum is set with the buttons "Vacuum max" "↓" and "↑";

- rarefaction on the interval of low vacuum is set with the buttons "Minimum depression" "↓" and "↑";

- the vacuum is switched off by setting the value “0” on the indicator 8 of the state of the modes with the buttons “Depression max” “↓” for the interval of increased vacuum and “Depression min” “↓” for the interval of reduced vacuum.

After pressing the “Start” button, the device enters the operating mode and ensures the execution of the procedure with the set parameters.

The parameters and the pulse repetition rate of the magnetic field pulses in the initial settings mode are optimally selected to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect.

Adjusting the influencing factors allows to achieve maximum treatment efficiency for a particular patient, as well as to ensure the comfort and safety of treatment.

The method of physiotherapy for the treatment of disorders of sexual function in men is as follows. They turn on the device’s power wire to the 220 V network, set the initial mode settings and turn on the “START” button. Located on the chair, put on a seal 5 and seal it with a vacuum flask 1 with a clamp near the pubis, then install a sealed vacuum flask 1 with genital organ 25 in the cavity 3 of inductor 2 and proceed with the procedure.

During the procedure, it is possible to adjust the vacuum in the vacuum flask 1 using the buttons "Depression max" "↓" and "↑" or "Depression min" "↓" and "↑" depending on the interval. The procedure for using the device can be interrupted at any time by pressing the “STOP” button, without waiting for automatic shutdown.

After performing the specified number of cycles, the device will go into a break mode. At this time, the remaining time until the end of the break will be displayed on the status indicator 8.
