Description

DEVICE OF A LASES THERAPY DAY

The utility model relates to medical equipment, in particular, to a device for the therapeutic effect of light radiation on the human body for the treatment of diseases of various etiologies.

A device for laser therapy containing a semiconductor laser emitter, a power stabilization unit, a mode selection unit, a programmer and an audible warning device (see patent specification 1 Je 2036672, A 61 L / 5/06, 1995 / I /). A disadvantage of the known device is its low therapeutic effectiveness, due to the lack of systems that allow you to track the effect of radiation on the patient's body and introduce a correction in the exposure mode.

A known device for laser therapy comprising a laser, a control system and pulse and respiration sensors. The device provides a change in the radiation power and the frequency of its exposure in accordance with the rhythms of respiration and pulse (see the description to the AS of the USSR 17X512, A 61 L / 5/06, 1992/2 /). A disadvantage of the known device is the limited scope and insufficiently high therapeutic efficiency, due to the fact that the radiation regimes are adjusted depending on the frequency of the pulse and respiration, which do not always adequately reflect the result of radiation exposure on a person.

Closest to the claimed in its technical essence is a known device for laser therapy containing radiation sources, for example, a semiconductor laser, a control unit, sensors and a unit for measuring signals from sensors (see the description of the patent of the Russian Federation n 2039580, A 61 A 5/06 , 1995/3).

  A disadvantage of the known device is its bulkiness, which makes it possible to use it only on an outpatient basis, which means that it necessitates a patient to visit medical institutions to take therapeutic procedures. In addition, the sensors installed in the known device do not always record changes in the patient’s body caused by irradiation, which does not allow for adequate adjustment of the irradiation regimes.

The inventive device for laser terash and is aimed at ease of use and a more accurate selection of irradiation relays for therapeutic exposure.

These results are achieved by the fact that the device for laser therapy contains lasers, a control unit, a unit for measuring signals from sensors and sensors, while the device is equipped with sensors for temperature and electrical conductivity of the skin, control and measurement units are placed in the patient’s clothing, and lasers and sensors are mounted on it the body.

Distinctive features of the claimed device are:

-supplying the device with sensors of temperature and electrical conductivity of the skin;

- placement of control and measurement units in a patient’s outfit;

-placing lasers and sensors on the patient’s body.

Providing the device with temperature and electrical conductivity sensors of the skin makes it possible to objectively evaluate the body’s reaction to laser radiation, since the patient’s skin is exposed to radiation and to make, based on the sensor’s readings, appropriate adjustments to the laser operation mode during the procedure (radiation power, radiation time, time intervals when switching on laser, etc.).

k - 3 Placement of control and measurement units provides ease of use of the device, since it eliminates the need for daily visits to patients with medical facilities. The placement of sensors and lasers on the patient’s body serves the same purpose. Naturally, this is B03MO} jnio when using semiconductor lasers with low power consumption as radiation sources. In this case, after the diagnosis and diagnosis it hurts and the doctor chooses treatment tactics, lasers and sensors are fixed on the patient’s body, and in the pockets of clothes there is a power supply unit and measurement and control units. The device is programmed for the appropriate algorithm for the adoption of therapeutic procedures and the patient can take them autonomously, including without changing the usual way of staying and visiting the medical institution after completing the program of procedures. The essence of the claimed device is illustrated by the drawing, which in the form of a functional block diagram presents one of the possible options for its implementation. The device contains one or more semiconductor lasers I, which are placed on the patient’s body in a known manner. For example, they are glued with a patch or adhesive tape, fixed with a bandage or bandage, or placed on the inner surface of the patient’s underwear or odets in contact with those areas of the skin that must be irradiated. Lasers can be glued on the fabric, sewn in, or placed in special pockets of transparent material for laser radiation. The device contains sensors 2 temperature of the skin and sensors 3 of the electrical conductivity of the skin, which can be selected from among the known. It can be thermo

electrical, quartz, e1 resistance, etc. sensors are fixed on the body as well as lasers using one of the methods listed above. Semiconductor lasers are electrically connected to the control unit 4, and the sensors are connected to the measuring unit 5. The measurement and control units are also connected to the transmitter and are located in the pockets of the patient’s clothes together with the battery or accumulator power supply unit (not shown in the drawing).

The device is used as follows. Depending on the diagnosis of the disease and the chosen treatment method, one or several lasers I are fixed on the body of the patient, and in the immediate vicinity of them are temperature sensors 2 and sensors 3 of skin electrical conductivity.

B control unit 4 lays down the program for turning on and off the lasers in accordance with the treatment tactics chosen by the doctor, after which the device turns on.

The device operates as follows. On command from the control unit 4, in accordance with the program, the lasers I are turned on. In this case, the signals from the sensors 2 and 3 are sent to the measuring unit 5, and from it to the control unit 4. Thus, information about the change in the patient’s state the result of exposure to radiation and in accordance with the program, correction of the exposure mode is made. Thus, optimal adaptation to a specific patient is ensured, the dosage accuracy of the exposure is increased, and the treatment efficiency is increased.
