Abstract

The invention relates to an angiological bandage. The inventive bandage is designed to generate sufficient compression energy, using the progressive constrictive force that is supplied when the bandage is wound around the surface of the leg, in order to improve the operation of the venous pump and to facilitate the return of blood to the heart. The design of the invention is based on two fundamental aspects, namely: (i) the physical ramp effect, whereby the bandage forms a helical surface that is adapted to exert both the progressive constrictive force and the compression energy in the same direction; and (ii) physical human locomotion serving as the compression energy source, using a pneumatic chamber which is provided in the plantar area of the shoe and which generates pressure pulses when the patient walks, said pulses being directed towards the compression chamber.

Description

VENDA ANGIOLOGICA NEUMÁTICA DE CONSTRICCIÓN PROGRESIVA PARA EL AÜTOTRATAMIENTO DE LA MALA CIRCULACIÓN ANTECEDENTES: PROGRESSIVE CONSTRICTION PNEUMATIC ANGIOLOGICAL BANDAGE FOR THE SELF-TREATMENT OF BAD CIRCULATION BACKGROUND:
Sector técnico Desde que el hombre asumió la posición erecta ha sufrido como consecuencia de insuficiencia venosa de los miembros inferiores (várices y sus consecuencias como la hiperpigmentación o manchas, fatiga, úlceras e incapacidad para trabajar), dichas várices y sus complicaciones son padecimientos muy frecuentes que afecta al 57 % de los hombres y al 68 % de las mujeres en edad útil.Technical sector Since the man assumed the erect position he has suffered as a consequence of venous insufficiency of the lower limbs (varicose veins and their consequences such as hyperpigmentation or spots, fatigue, ulcers and inability to work), these varicose veins and their complications are very frequent conditions It affects 57% of men and 68% of women of useful age.
Las várices son venas que se han dilatado, alongado y se ven tortuosas, lo que trae como consecuencia que sus válvulas no coaptan en el centro de su lumen venoso, originando que pierda su eficiencia y como consecuencia, permita el reflujo sanguíneo. En el mecanismo natural del cuerpo humano, la sangre de las extremidades inferiores regresa al corazón por un sistema de venas profundas (intramusculares) y otro de venas superficiales (subcutánea), interconectada entre si por venas perforantes (perforan la fascina de la pierna). Estos dos sistemas tienen válvulas unidireccionales que dirigen el flujo sanguíneo hacia el corazón, las que, al cerrarse, evitan que la sangre refluya hacia las venas de la pantorrilla; asimismo, las venas comunicantes o perforantes tienen válvulas que dirigen la sangre del sistema venoso superficial al sistema profundo; con estos mecanismos, la sangre venosa vuelve normalmente desde las partes prefündidas del organismo hacia el corazón, por el sistema de "bomba venosa" que involucra numerosos factores:, el propio tono venoso, la presencia de las válvulas venosas eficientes, el bombeo por la suela venosa plantar del pié, la contracción de los músculos de la pantorrilla, la fuerza de propulsión de la eyección sistólica, la fuerza de aspiración de la aurícula derecha, los movimientos diafragmáticos y la proximidad de las pulsaciones arteriales; todos estos mecanismos unidos forman la bomba venosa de retorno. Técnica anteriorVaricose veins are veins that have been dilated, lengthened and appear tortuous, which results in their valves not coaptating in the center of their venous lumen, causing it to lose its efficiency and consequently allow blood reflux. In the natural mechanism of the human body, blood from the lower extremities returns to the heart through a system of deep veins (intramuscular) and another of superficial veins (subcutaneous), interconnected by perforating veins (they pierce the fascination of the leg). These two systems have one-way valves that direct blood flow to the heart, which, when closed, prevent blood from flowing back into the calf veins; likewise, communicating or perforating veins have valves that direct blood from the superficial venous system to the deep system; With these mechanisms, venous blood normally returns from the prefixed parts of the body to the heart, by the "venous pump" system that involves numerous factors: the venous tone itself, the presence of efficient venous valves, pumping through the plantar venous sole of the foot, the contraction of the calf muscles, the propulsion force of the systolic ejection, the aspiration force of the right atrium, diaphragmatic movements and the proximity of arterial pulsations; all these mechanisms together form the venous return pump.

Para el tratamiento de la insuficiencia venosa como son el edema venosa o el edema linfático, lo más común consiste en combinar sistemas compresivos con diferentes métodos terapéuticos tales como el drenaje linfático manual, el cual es una combinación de maniobras de drenaje lejos y proximal de las zonas edematizadas, las cuales aumentan la presión extrínseca tisular en la zona afectada; en cuanto a los sistemas compresivos, existe la aplicación de energía de compresión a la pierna y el pie proporcionada por medias elásticas o vendajes elásticos o no elásticos, cuyo objetivo de este método es doble: reducir el reflujo indeseable en las venas superficiales y proteger las venas de una distensión excesiva, este tratamiento es el más común para aliviar la insuficiencia venosa, como edema, varices y/o ulceras varicosas, no obstante los cuales presentan el inconveniente de que a medida que la fibra elástica pierde fuerza o la pierna se des-edematiza, la presión que proporciona es menor a la administrada inicialmente, en consecuencia existe perdida del efecto terapéutico, es decir, perdida de la energía de compresión inicial, habiendo necesidad de utilizar una segunda o mas prendas de compresión según se requiera.For the treatment of venous insufficiency such as venous edema or lymphatic edema, the most common is to combine compression systems with different therapeutic methods such as manual lymphatic drainage, which is a combination of drainage maneuvers far and proximal to the edematous zones, which increase the extrinsic tissue pressure in the affected area; As for compression systems, there is the application of compression energy to the leg and foot provided by elastic stockings or elastic or non-elastic bandages, whose objective of this method is twofold: to reduce undesirable reflux in the superficial veins and protect the veins from excessive distension, this treatment is the most common to relieve venous insufficiency, such as edema, varicose veins and / or varicose ulcers, although they have the disadvantage that as the elastic fiber loses strength or the leg becomes unstable -edematizes, the pressure it provides is less than that initially administered, consequently there is loss of the therapeutic effect, that is, loss of the initial compression energy, having the need to use a second or more compression garments as required.
El tratamiento de las várices es quirúrgico, que consiste en la resección de las venas que funciona mal, sin embargo, el tratamiento es oneroso y se asocia a los riesgos propios de la cirugía.The treatment of varicose veins is surgical, which consists of the resection of the veins that malfunctions, however, the treatment is expensive and is associated with the risks inherent to the surgery.
Problema técnico y soluciónTechnical problem and solution
Con el impulso de la contractura muscular la sangre venosa del paciente retorna hacia el corazón, a este sistema natural del organismo se le llama "bomba venosa", no obstante, por la fuerza de la gravedad, dicha sangre tiende a refluir, lo que se evita de manera natural si las válvulas de las venas se cierran permanentemente.With the impulse of muscular contracture the venous blood of the patient returns to the heart, this natural system of the organism is called a "venous pump", however, due to the force of gravity, said blood tends to flow, which is Naturally prevents vein valves from closing permanently.
Ahora bien, si dichas válvulas de las venas no cierran bien, ocurre el reflujo sanguíneo que se estanca en las venas de las piernas, ocasionando lo que se considera mala circulación o insuficiencia venosa, este estancamiento produce hipertensión venosa formando edema por insuficiencia venosa, las venas de las piernas se dilatan y se hacen varicosas, trasudan plasma y eritrocitos, los tejidos se inflaman, causan fatiga, inflamación y finalmente ulceración venosa.Now, if these vein valves do not close well, blood reflux occurs that stagnates in the leg veins, causing what is considered poor circulation or venous insufficiency, this stagnation produces venous hypertension forming edema due to venous insufficiency, the leg veins dilate and become varicose, they transpire plasma and erythrocytes, the tissues become inflamed, cause fatigue, inflammation and finally venous ulceration.
De lo anterior, considerando que para obtener un óptimo funcionamiento del sistema natural de "bombeo venoso" con que cuenta el organismo, uno de los factores principales es la contracción de los músculos de la pantorrilla apoyado por supuesto del bombeo de la suela venosa plantar del pié, esto ha originado el desarrollo de la presente invención, la cual consiste en una venda angiológica en cuyo diseño, interiormente cuenta con una cámara de compresión que genera fuerza de constricción progresiva del sentido proximal al distal con sólo enrrollarla alrededor de todo el contorno superficial de las extremidades, comenzando progresivamente desde el pié, tobillo y pantorrilla, inclusive, en caso de ser necesario hasta el muslo, o en su caso, desde la mano, antebrazo y el brazo, generando así energía de compresión sobre la extremidad a tratar. Para lograr lo anterior, en primer término es preciso tomar el efecto físico de "Rampa" como la superficie helicoidal idónea que proporciona la venda angiológica motivo de la presente invención, para optimizar el traslado de la sangre venosa de abajo hacia arriba, mediante la constricción progresiva generada por la cámara de compresión que provee, y en segundo término, tomar "La Locomoción Humana" (que es la traslación del cuerpo desde un punto a otro mediante la marcha bípeda) como una fuente de energía, mediante la inclusión de una cámara neumática en la zona plantar del zapato de la venda angiológica originando la presión que ira dirigida a la cámara de compresión que prevé esta invención.From the above, considering that in order to obtain an optimal functioning of the natural system of "venous pumping" available to the body, one of the main factors is the contraction of the calf muscles supported, of course, by pumping the plantar venous sole of the foot, this has led to the development of the present invention, which consists of an angiological bandage whose design, internally, has a compression chamber that generates progressive constriction force from the proximal to the distal direction by simply wrapping it around the entire surface contour of the extremities, starting progressively from the foot, ankle and calf, including, if necessary, up to the thigh, or where appropriate, from the hand, forearm and arm, thus generating compression energy on the extremity to be treated. To achieve this, first of all it is necessary to take the physical effect of "Ramp" as the ideal helical surface provided by the angiological bandage that is the subject of the present invention, to optimize the transfer of venous blood from the bottom up, by constricting progressive generated by the compression chamber that provides, and secondly, to take "The Human Locomotion" (which is the translation of the body from one point to another by biped walking) as a source of energy, by including a camera pneumatics in the plantar zone of the shoe of the angiological bandage causing the pressure that will be directed to the compression chamber provided by this invention.

La presente invención consiste en una venda angiológica que cumple con la función de proporcionar energía de compresión en una extremidad a tratar por insuficiencia venosa, dicha energía compresiva es proporcionada por medio de impulsos de presión generados en una cámara neumática prevista en la zona plantar del zapato, o en su caso, en la palma de un guante, y aplicada por medio de la fuerza de constricción progresiva que ejerce la venda sobre dicha extremidad; para lograr lo anterior, esta invención esta constituida de dos bandas (ver figuras 1 y 2): exterior que tiene composición no elástica (1) e interior de composición elástica (2), ambas unidas longitudinalmente por sus extremos o bordes formando un espacio interior en el cual se prevé la cámara de compresión (3) que consiste en una vejiga de plástico inflable terminando con una válvula de suministro y salida de aire (4), asimismo, la invención cuenta con una serie de segmentos o cejas de velero (6) en su borde o extremo inferior (a), cuyas funciones son de retener la venda angiológica al ser enrrollada al contorno de la pierna, pegándose dichas cejas (6) a la banda exterior (1) y así evitar se desenrrolle o se desplace de la extremidad, y de un zapato plegable (ver figuras 3 y 4), el cual esta provisto de una cámara neumática (7) dispuesta en su zona plantar, cuya función es la de generar impulsos de presión para ser dirigidos a la cámara de compresión (3), ya que ambas cámaras están unidas formando una sola unidad, asimismo, para sujetar el zapato al pié, éste se compone de dos aletas: superior (8) e inferior (9) que cubren el empeine empalmando la aleta superior (8) sobre la inferior (9) quedando pegadas mediante un segmento de velero (10) dispuesto en la cara interior de la aleta superior, de una tira (11) provista de un segmento de velero (12) en su cara interior para pegar en la cara exterior de la aleta inferior (9) y así cubrir la zona del talón y de una banda pivotable (13) provista también de un segmento de velero (14) en su cara interior para pegarse sobre la aleta superior (8) y de este forma cubrir la zona del tobillo.The present invention consists of an angiological bandage that fulfills the function of providing compression energy in an extremity to be treated for venous insufficiency, said compressive energy is provided by means of pressure impulses generated in a pneumatic chamber provided in the plantar area of the shoe , or in his case, in the palm of a glove, and applied by means of the progressive constricting force exerted by the bandage on said extremity; To achieve the above, this invention is made up of two bands (see Figures 1 and 2): exterior with a non-elastic composition (1) and an interior with an elastic composition (2), both longitudinally joined by their ends or edges forming an interior space in which the compression chamber (3) is provided, which consists of an inflatable plastic bladder ending with an air supply and outlet valve (4), likewise, the invention has a series of sailboat segments or eyebrows (6 ) on its edge or lower end (a), whose functions are to retain the angiological bandage when it is wound around the contour of the leg, said eyebrows (6) sticking to the outer band (1) and thus avoid unwinding or moving from the limb, and a folding shoe (see figures 3 and 4), which is provided with a pneumatic chamber (7) arranged in its plantar area, whose function is to generate pressure impulses to be directed to the compression chamber (3), since am The chambers are joined forming a single unit, likewise, to hold the shoe to the foot, it consists of two fins: upper (8) and lower (9) that cover the instep by joining the upper fin (8) on the lower one (9 ) being glued by means of a sailboat segment (10) arranged on the inner face of the upper fin, of a strip (11) provided with a sailboat segment (12) on its inner face for gluing on the outer face of the lower fin (9) and thus cover the heel area and a pivotable band (13) also provided with a sailboat segment (14) on its inner face to stick on the upper fin (8) and thus cover the ankle area .
En la venda angiológica (ver figura 5) su borde o extremo interior (a) es de menor longitud que su borde o extremo exterior (b), esto le permite a la venda tener un diseño semi-curvo con el objeto de facilitar su enrrollamiento a la pierna de abajo hacia arriba, de este modo, se aprovecha la forma anatómica de la pierna puesto que su perímetro va progresivamente aumentando del tobillo a la pantorrilla, conformando así un perfecto ángulo anatómico de protección.In the angiological bandage (see figure 5) its inner edge or end (a) is shorter than its outer edge or end (b), this allows the bandage to have a semi-curved design in order to facilitate its curl to the leg from bottom to top, in this way, the anatomical shape of the leg is used since its perimeter progressively increases from the ankle to the calf, thus forming a perfect anatomical angle of protection.
Esta invención y las partes que la conforman (ver figuras 6 y 7), esta realizada para optimizar el traslado de los fluidos sangre venosa o linfa de abajo hacia arriba, mediante el empleo de la fuerza de constricción y la energía de compresión aplicadas en forma progresiva, cuyo diseño se basa en primer término, del efecto físico de "Rampa", esto es, al enrrollar y sujetar la venda angiológica en el contorno de la pierna o del brazo en su caso, de abajo hacia arriba, ésta proporciona la superficie helicoidal idónea para ejercer tanto la fuerza constrictora en forma progresiva, como la energía de compresión en el mismo sentido, y en segundo término, su diseño se basa en la "Locomoción Humana" (ver figura 8) como la fuente de energía de compresión, lo cual realiza mediante la disposición de la cámara neumática en la zona plantar del zapato que mediante la marcha o caminata, genera impulsos de presión para ser dirigidos a la cámara de compresión y así ejercer sobre la extremidad, como ya se dijo, energía compresiva en forma progresiva.This invention and the parts that make it up (see Figures 6 and 7), are made to optimize the transfer of venous or lymph blood fluids from the bottom up, by using the applied constriction force and compression energy progressive, the design of which is based primarily on the physical effect of "Ramp", that is, when rolling and holding the angiological bandage on the contour of the leg or arm, if applicable, from the bottom up, it provides the surface ideal helical to exert both the constricting force in a progressive way, and the compression energy in the same direction, and secondly, its design is based on the "Human Locomotion" (see figure 8) as the compression energy source, which it realizes by means of the disposition of the pneumatic chamber in the plantar zone of the shoe which, by walking or walking, generates pressure impulses to be directed to the compression chamber and thus exert on the limb, as already mentioned, compressive energy in a progressive way.
Para el mejor entendimiento de la utilización de la presente invención, el método de su aplicación consiste en: se comienza con la sujeción del zapato en el pié mediante la mecánica y partes del zapato antes descritos (ver figuras 9 y 10), en seguida se enrrolla la venda al contomo de la extremidad, que en el caso de la figura anexada es a la pierna, de abajo hacia arriba (ver figura 11), es decir, comenzando desde el tobillo (que en el caso del brazo, comenzando desde la mano), quedando la banda interior (2) en contacto con la pierna y los segmentos o cejas (6) de velero pegados a la banda exterior (1) (ver figural2), lo que evita que la venda angiológica se desenrrolle o se desplace de la pierna y conformando la fuerza de constricción ejercida en ella, una vez colocada la venda angiológica en la extremidad (ver figura 12), esta se levanta con el objeto de generar vacío en la cámara neumática plantar (7) para que de este modo se le pueda suministrar aire desde la válvula (4) provista en la cámara de compresión (3) llenándose aquella (7) del aire suministrado, de este modo, el paciente al realizar la marcha o caminata (ver figura 8), va generando impulsos de presión, los cuales son dirigidos a la cámara de compresión (3); es así, que con esta mecánica, se ejerce sobre la extremidad del paciente, fuerza constrictora en forma progresiva y energía de compresión en el mismo sentido, para el tratamiento de insuficiencia venosa.For a better understanding of the use of the present invention, the method of its application consists of: it begins with the support of the shoe on the foot by means of the mechanics and parts of the shoe described above (see figures 9 and 10), immediately following It wraps the bandage around the limb, which in the case of the attached figure is to the leg, from bottom to top (see figure 11), that is, starting from the ankle (which in the case of the arm, starting from the hand), leaving the inner band (2) in contact with the leg and the sailboat segments or eyebrows (6) glued to the outer band (1) (see fig. 2), which prevents the angiological bandage from unwinding or moving of the leg and shaping the constriction force exerted on it, once the angiological bandage is placed on the limb (see figure 12), it is lifted in order to generate a vacuum in the plantar pneumatic chamber (7) so that in this way will can supply air from the valve (4) provided in the compression chamber (3), filling it (7) with the air supplied, thus, the patient when walking or walking (see figure 8), generates pressure impulses , which are directed to the compression chamber (3); thus, with this mechanism, progressive constricting force and compression energy in the same direction are exerted on the patient's limb for the treatment of venous insufficiency.
Otra de las ventajas que presenta esta invención (ver figuras 13, 14 y 15) consiste en que, en los casos de que los pacientes estén imposibilitados para caminar, por lo que no es posible que el mismo paciente pueda generar los impulsos de presión para dirigirlos a la cámara de compresión (3), la venda angiológica presenta la modalidad de que la cámara de compresión (3) pueda ser segmentada en tres partes o más en caso de que se requiera, proveyéndoles a cada parte de un conducto de aire (15) por el cual se le pueda suministrar aire por medio de un aparto compresor externo (16), de este modo, se pueden generar los impulsos de presión dirigidos a cada una de las partes .de la cámara de compresión (3) y aplicar energía compresiva ya sea en el tobillo, pantorrilla y muslo y aun en el tronco, según el padecimiento de la extremidad a tratar de insuficiencia venosa.Another advantage of this invention (see Figures 13, 14 and 15) is that, in cases where patients are unable to walk, it is not possible for the same patient to generate the pressure pulses to directing them to the compression chamber (3), the angiological bandage presents the way that the compression chamber (3) can be segmented into three parts or more if required, providing each part with an air duct ( 15) by which air can be supplied by means of an external compressor device (16), in this way, the pressure impulses directed to each of the parts of the compression chamber (3) can be generated and applied compressive energy either in the ankle, calf and thigh and even in the trunk, depending on the condition of the limb to be treated for venous insufficiency.
Asimismo, para el caso de la venda angiológica sea aplicada al brazo, ésta puede estar conectada a un guante que contenga también una cámara de aire y que se conecte con la cámara de compresión, con lo cual, el paciente se puede autoproporcionar masaje o energía de compresión, oprimiendo con la mano dicha cámara aérea pasando el aire a la venda que en este caso esta enrrollada en el brazo.Likewise, in the case of the angiological bandage being applied to the arm, it can be connected to a glove that also contains an air chamber and that connects to the compression chamber, with which the patient can self-provide massage or energy. of compression, pressing with the hand said aerial camera passing the air to the bandage that in this case is wound on the arm.
Ahora bien, la venda angiológica puede no estar conectada al zapata, o en su caso al guante, pero teniendo un configuración totalmente recta, puede funcionar como una venda de compresión en la extremidad para efectuar movilización de linfa o exaguinación durante la cirugía ortopédica, así como, puede ser aplicada sobre la extremidad para movilizar edema y descongestionar un extremidad dolorosa por exceso de ejercicio. Now, the angiological bandage may not be connected to the shoe, or in its case to the glove, but having a completely straight configuration, it can function as a compression bandage on the limb to perform lymph mobilization or exaguination during orthopedic surgery, as well As, it can be applied to the limb to mobilize edema and decongest a painful limb due to excessive exercise.
