Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely to physiotherapeutic devices in which electromagnetic radiation of the optical range is used.

For the treatment of diseases of the pelvic organs (adnexitis, prostatitis, cystitis, etc.), phototherapy methods are widely used: intravascular blood irradiation, intracavitary and external (percutaneous) exposure to light [1, 2, 3, 4].

Most often, intracavitary exposure to optical radiation is carried out by introducing the corresponding radiating nozzle of the phototherapeutic device into the vagina, rectum or urethra. Various devices are used for this purpose: APS-Solaris, Mustang, etc. One of the latest developments intended for the treatment of diseases of the pelvic organs using optical radiation is the AELTIS-Synchro-02 “Yarilo” apparatus, which provides for the possibility of both intracavitary and and percutaneous exposure. This device, described in the information source [1], is the closest analogue of the proposed device.

The AELTIS-Synchro-02 “Yarilo” apparatus consists of a body, a control panel and laser light sources: infrared (IR) radiation and red (K) light. Using the optical fibers, the following laser radiation channels are provided:

a) IR-1 - cutaneous (using a scattering lens) on the area of the womb,

b) IR-2 - through the scattering lens, cutaneous into the perineum,

c) IK2 and K - through the urethral catheter in the prostate,

d) IK2 and K through LED nozzles urethrally or rectally.

Overall dimensions 420 × 265 × 400 mm, weight (weight) ~ 10 kg. Supply voltage 220 V, frequency 50 Hz, power consumed from the network no more than 60 watts.

The presented analogue has the following disadvantages:

- bulkiness

- the need for AC power,

- only a doctor who has passed specialization and has permission to work with laser light sources can work with the device,

- for laser therapy procedures, a specially equipped room is necessary,

- the design of the device provides for the introduction into the urethra of the fiber and its advancement to the prostate, which is not only traumatic, but can also lead to the spread (pushing) of infection into the prostate [5],

- transdermal exposure to laser radiation with a scattering lens at the end of the fiber does not simultaneously irradiate the entire area of the required impact (for example, perineum) and requires repeated movement of the light spot, which significantly lengthens the procedure time,

- therapeutic phototherapy techniques carried out using an analogue are unaesthetic and can cause negative reactions in a number of patients,

- An analogue, like all laser phototherapy devices, is an expensive device with a limited service time.

The proposed utility model - an LED device - "Eros" for the impact of optical radiation on the projection of the pelvic organs and perineum is devoid of these disadvantages.

The technical result is achieved through the use of arrays of chips of superbright LEDs, tightly adjacent to the skin of the patient in the area of exposure to optical radiation. To increase the depth

optical radiation penetration uses a combination of IR LED chips and the visible spectrum.

The matrix base is made of an elastic material, such as silicone. A thin plate of LED chips with a metal cooler for heat sink is mounted in it.

The density of the matrices is ensured by the pressure of elastic medical linen, on the inner surface of which light-emitting matrices are placed. Matrices are removable elements of the device, and their power is provided by the battery.

LED device - "Eros" for irradiation with optical radiation projection of the pelvic organs and perineum is presented in figure 1. It consists of a body 1, made in the form of pants made of elastic and, due to this, a fabric tightly adjacent to the surface of the body, used in medicine for the manufacture of bandages, bandages for joints, etc.

In the housing 1 may be an oval hole 2 for the genitals. On the inner surface of the housing 1, light-emitting matrices are fixed: 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d. Matrices in the form of repeating the contours of the irradiated zones are made in the form of thin plates of elastic, environmentally friendly material, for example, silicone. On the surface of the matrix facing the body, there are standard plates with a line of LED chips with coolers for heat removal, for example, Epistar plates (Taiwan).

Matrix 3a is used to irradiate the perineum, 3b - the sacral zone, 3c - the area of the ovaries or testes, 3g - the area of the bladder. All matrices are removable, replaceable components of the device and are connected to the power supply and control unit 4, located on the belt of the case - "underpants", via USB - port. The power supply and control unit 4 is represented by a rechargeable battery with a voltage of 3.7 V at the output (for example, a battery from a cell phone) and

microcontroller. The battery is charged through the adapter from a household electrical outlet.

On the power supply there is a button 5 for turning on the device and the treatment program. On the power supply 4 there is a socket 6 for the plug of the charger. The power supply and control unit 4 is also a removable element of the device.

A photodetector 7 (in the power and control unit) and a remote control (for example, for using the device in the treatment of patients with concomitant mental disorders) can be introduced into the design of the device.

The device operates as follows.

The patient puts on “underpants” on the body, spreading the body tissue so that all emitting matrices fit snugly on the body, then turns on the device. During the phototherapy procedure, the patient can be in any position - sitting, lying, standing, to perform any action. After the procedure has expired, the device automatically turns off. It is advisable to use the Eros LED device individually.

The Eros LED device for irradiating the projection of the pelvic and perineum organs with optical radiation has obvious advantages over existing analogs, namely:

1. Autonomously, electroeconomically, does not require power from a household electric current network.

2. Convenient to use and psychologically acceptable for the patient.

3. The phototherapy procedure can be performed both in hospital and at home.

4. The device provides for the possibility of simultaneous irradiation of all zones;

5. The procedure is not traumatic and aesthetic. Does not require the participation of medical personnel. The device can be worn under the body

linen, if there is a need for a phototherapy procedure during working hours or during a long trip (by train, plane, car).

6. Convenient for use in paralyzed and bedridden patients with impaired function of the pelvic organs.

7. Phototherapy using the Eros device can be used in patients with mental disorders, which is impossible or extremely difficult when using analogues.

8. The Eros device is a technically simple device, easy to manufacture, the device itself and its components are relatively cheap.

9. The procedure does not require material costs (operation of a specially equipped room, salary of medical staff, the cost of electricity).
