Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely to devices for phototherapy.

Currently, diseases caused by metabolic disorders (obesity, diabetes), diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are treated mainly with medication, with all the ensuing negative side effects.

The use of phototherapeutic techniques based on monochromatic emitters using a non-invasive method of irradiation of the skin has proved its effectiveness [1, 2].

The closest analogues are the described devices for percutaneous irradiation of blood, but have not yet found a technical solution to this time [1] - C 128-130.

Also, for the treatment of joint and vascular diseases based on red and infrared radiation, an LED matrix is used, the Israeli Biobeam 940 apparatus with wavelengths λ = 640 nm and λ = 940 nm used, as well as the domestic Dune-T apparatus with used lengths waves λ = 660 ± 15 nm and λ = 840-950 nm, using irradiation of 10 cm ² [1] - C 130.

Apparatus vibration was used for the first time with a therapeutic purpose back in the 18th century - the trembling chair of the abbot Pierre, and at the end of the 19th century, electromotors began to be used. All devices intended for therapeutic purposes are divided into general vibration devices, which cause shaking of the whole body and local vibration devices, which are designed for vibrational movements of individual parts of the body.

It should be noted that installations for general vibration (chairs, beds) are very bulky and heavy and are currently used extremely rarely for medicinal purposes. Devices designed for local vibration exposure became more widespread in the 60-80s of the 20th century. This is a radio tube vibrator of A.B.Grenadera (1953) with a frequency range from 40 to 1400 Hz. Electronic vibrator "IS-THERAP" (1960, GDR) allows you to change the oscillation frequency in the range from 100 to 16000 Hz. Widespread, manufactured by the Kiev factory "EMO", a portable device "Vibromassage" (1969), powered by a network. (A.Ya. Kramer. Vibration as a treatment factor. Tomsk. Tomsk University Press. 1972 - p. 15).

The biggest disadvantages of the devices is that when they are used, there is no certainty in choosing the right dosage. The amplitude of the oscillations depends on the degree of pressing of the vibrating tip to the patient's body. The amplitude of the oscillations and the frequency are difficult to control with a rheostat, and the repetition of the procedure is very difficult. In addition, the amplitude of the fluctuations varies depending on the degree of fatigue of the masseur.

The technical problem achieved by the implementation of the utility model is the creation of a device for the treatment and prevention of diseases caused by metabolic disorders (obesity, diabetes), diseases of the gastrointestinal tract using various wavelengths of the visible spectrum of sunlight (violet 400-420 nm, blue 430-480 nm, green 500-550 nm, yellow 560-580 nm, orange 600-630 nm, red 660-740 nm) with simultaneous combination of vibration massage (10-2000 Hz).

The technical result of the proposed utility model is to combine the beneficial effect of vibrational massage and the phototherapeutic properties of the visible spectrum of light in the treatment and prevention of the above diseases with the help of a simple device design.

The achievement of the technical result is due to the 1st law of photochemistry, which states that photochemical conversion can occur under the influence of the light that is absorbed by the substance, therefore, in the light of one spectrum, LEDs with different wavelengths are chosen. They are also based on the conclusions of the founder of phototherapy, the Nobel laureate Niels Finzen, who established that at the place of pressure on the biological tissue, the depth of light penetration increases tenfold.

Blue and green colors are the most active agents of optical radiation. They are absorbed by numerous endogenous chromophores, while causing regulatory mechanisms of the biological object, positively affecting blood viscosity, microcirculation and the homocoagulation system, which is crucial when using phototherapy devices for the treatment and prevention of diseases of various pathologies.

Red and orange colors act as an activator of volumetric blood flow and provide a “respiratory explosion” of neutrophilic granulocytes, which leads to retrodiffusion of H + ions, which damage the epithelium, causing the formation of blood clots in the capillaries. In the process of spontaneous thrombolysis, blood circulation is restored. These colors stimulate the activity of the cerebral cortex, increase the level of neuroendocrine regulation.

The violet color has a tonic effect on the brain, eyes, increases muscle strength, normalizes the work of the spleen, parathyroid glands, and nervous system. Increases the immunity of the skin by acting on epidermal keratinocytes and Langerans cells.

Yellow color stimulates the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, liver, and activates the autonomic nervous system, increases physical performance.

The impact of different wavelengths of one spectrum is enhanced by the integrated use of other types of spectrum that will provide treatment and prevention of several diseases at the same time [1, 2].

In addition, the therapeutic properties of light are enhanced by the vibration effect on the human skin. Impact

vibration massage on the back, buttocks and thighs favorably affects the functioning of the endocrine glands, the distribution of pathological products to healthy tissues and their removal from the body [3] - C 1-20; [5] - C 29-38. Vibrating massage of the abdomen provides great benefits in the treatment of obesity, especially food obesity. Vibration massage gives especially good results in the treatment of diseases of the stomach, liver, and kidneys. [3] - C 21-28; [4] - C 32-45; [5] - C 54-58; [6] - C 183-211.

When combining light and vibration massage, light increases the effect of vibration on living tissue, and vibration massage increases the penetration of light into human tissues and organs, thereby activating its effect.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the vibrational phototherapeutic tape, including a fabric tape made of dense fabric material (size 250 × 85) with two straps (size 1000 × 20) and “Velcro” for tight fastening on the human body, a matrix of 48 LEDs the visible part of the spectrum (size 180 × 60) from SIEL silicone compound 5 mm thick, glued to a commensurate rubber tape 5 mm thick, preferably from porous rubber, two polyethylene round plates (⌀30), with two brass cylinders high 15 mm, with locking tabs for mounting the control panel (⌀3) and located at a distance of 20 mm from each other, a control panel with a control unit, a vibrating device, a display, a program control and start button, a power compartment with two batteries and a power socket from the network through a converter with a voltage of 6 V, and all the LEDs of the same spectrum have different wavelengths and are located from each other at a distance of 10 mm and protruding 2-3 mm above the surface, and brass rods play a double role - fixing the remote control (due to the existing ledges) and vibrotodov (transmit vibrations matrix).

It is preferable to use superbright monochromatic LEDs from Sharp (Japan) or their analogues, from other manufacturers.

As a vibration device, it is preferable to use an electromagnetic vibrator, which allows you to adjust the amplitude of the vibrations by changing the distance between the electromagnet and the membrane or microelectromotor with an eccentric on the shaft, the vibration frequency is changed using a microcontroller with an internal generator of 32 kHz, providing a pulse voltage.
