Definitions
- the invention relates to a medical device for treating living beings with a pulsating magnetic field, in particular for treating joints, the back, the head area, for example in plastic or aesthetic surgery, and dental implants, a coil being provided to generate the pulsating magnetic field ,
- PEM pulsating magnetic fields
- Appropriate devices are offered with a large field coil in which a patient has space with his whole body.
- pulse generators with flat applicators, which one create a stray magnetic field that penetrates the body completely. In terms of frequencies and intensities, it is identical to the pulsating magnetic field of the large field coil.
- the concentric magnetic field in the large field coil is more extensive.
- a flat applicator is usually used to treat joints. This means that the joint can only be treated from the side against which the flat applicator lies.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a device of the above. To develop a type that can be used on the go and can develop its effects better and is much easier to use.
- the coil is located in a flexible carrier.
- the coil should enclose an opening in the support, the joint to be treated being insertable into this opening.
- the coil can be brought much closer to the joint and encompasses much larger areas of the joint.
- the application of this carrier and also the wearing during the treatment is considerably easier.
- the patient can move almost freely with the carrier and the generator.
- the coil has a magnetic field builds up, which is aligned perpendicular to the joint, which in turn significantly improves the mode of action.
- the carrier preferably consists of a textile material and has the shape of a watch strap, the opening described above being provided for receiving the joint instead of the dial.
- This watch band-like carrier has two band strips, which are each provided at the end with part of a Velcro fastener. In this way, for example, the carrier can be wrapped around an upper body and fixed there.
- One of many other uses of the present invention is to treat the head area.
- the wound healing or bone healing can be accelerated by the medical device according to the invention after an aesthetic or plastic surgical intervention.
- the entire skin process is optimized by the medical device.
- the influence of the pulsating magnetic field also has a positive influence on, for example, tinitus (buzzing in the ears). Furthermore, the pulsating magnetic field has a particularly favorable effect on inflammation of the sinuses or in the ENT area at all.
- the carrier with the coil is preferably designed as a ring for this area of application, which surrounds the head in the position of use. It can be held on the head in any way.
- the main focus is on a headband that is detachably connected to the ring, so that the ring can be placed on the head according to the user's wishes and different head sizes can be taken into account.
- this headband can enter into corresponding Velcro connections with the ring.
- the carrier according to the invention is designed such that lumbar vertebrae areas or other areas of the backbone can be treated.
- the corresponding carrier could be designed, for example, as a kidney belt.
- a toroidal coil is preferably used as the coil.
- This toroid forms tubular lines (toroidal) around its main axis. It can consist of a single coil that is closed to form a torus.
- the field inside is a good approximation homogeneous if the radius of the torus is large enough compared to the toroidal radius of the coil.
- the cross-section of the toroid's field line tube can be adjusted to any requirements thanks to the coil geometry.
- the coil can be adapted to the joint and to unevenness in the joint.
- it may be useful to reduce the torus to several individual coils, which significantly extends the volume of the field between the individual coils to the outside.
- a toroid Due to the field inclusion in the torus, a toroid allows significantly greater field strengths with the same field energy.
- This protective cover should preferably be releasably connected to the carrier so that it can be removed and cleaned after use.
- FIG. 1 shows a person, each with a medical device according to the invention around a shoulder joint and around a knee joint;
- Figure 2 is a plan view of a medical device with generator according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 the head of a person with a further exemplary embodiment of a medical device according to the invention.
- Figure 4 is a plan view of the medical device according to
- Figure 5 shows a cross section through the medical device according to Figure 4 along line V-V.
- a person 1 has a generator 2 in his hand with which a pulsating magnetic field is generated. This pulsating magnetic field is transmitted to a coil 3 shown in dashed lines in FIG. A line 4 is used for this.
- the coil 3 is located in a flexible carrier 5, which is designed similar to a watch band.
- a tape strip 7.1 and 7.2 each adjoins a central part 6 on both sides.
- the strip strips 7.1 and 7.2 each have a support of a part of a Velcro fastener, this part 8 being shown only for the strip strip 7.2.
- An opening 9, which is surrounded by the coil 3, is located approximately in the center of the middle part 6.
- the mode of operation of the present invention is as follows and can be seen in particular in FIG. 1:
- a medical device according to the invention is placed on the shoulder joint 10 such that the joint 10 essentially extends through the opening 9.
- the coil 3 is located around the joint 10, so that a magnetic field can be applied to the joint from all sides.
- the tape strips 7.1 and 7.2 loop around the upper body 11 of the person, so that the person can otherwise move freely.
- the knee joint 12 is also inserted in an opening of a further medical device, the band strips shown there wrapping around the knee joint.
- the carrier in which there is a coil (not shown in more detail), is designed as a ring 14 which surrounds a head 15 of a person to be treated.
- a headband 16 which rests on both sides of the ring 14 and can, for example, form a Velcro connection with the ring 14 there.
- the headband 16 is preferably open, so that it is continuously adjustable relative to the head. Another thought relates above all to the hygienic use of the medical device according to the invention. According to FIGS. 4 and 5, it should be surrounded by a protective sheath 17, in particular in the area which receives the body part to be treated.
- This protective cover is also formed as a ring in the position of use, wherein it is inserted into the opening 9 and then its cover areas are placed around the central part 6.
- the envelope areas can be clipped together around the middle part 6 by means of snap fasteners.
