Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for applying an overpressure and / or underpressure to at least one body part of a living being.
  • Such devices are already known in many forms and configurations and in use. They are used for damming body parts of living things, especially lymphedema, varicose veins, in cramping and circulatory disorders. In addition, they are used in so-called cupping. When cupping individual glasses or vacuum chambers are placed on the skin and with Overpressure or negative pressure applied.
  • Overpressure or negative pressure applied.
  • Exposing the device to overpressure often exposes the extremities to too much pressure, thereby squeezing the blood vessels.
  • the device is subjected to negative pressure, it can also happen that the extremities are pressed or laced too much, which is undesirable in both cases.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the above drawbacks and to provide a device with which an admission of body parts with overpressure or negative pressure simply take place and the desired goals, such as the damming of body parts, can be easily achieved.
  • the device should be easy and uncomplicated to handle and to clean quickly after treatment.
  • At least two suction cups are provided for application to the body part, which are connected to each other via at least one channel, wherein at least one suction cup with positive and / or negative pressure can be acted upon.
  • the suction cups are arranged on an upper side of a mat, on whose underside in turn the channel is arranged.
  • the suction cups are connected via passage holes on their bottom to the channel, which in turn to an air outlet at the edge of the mat and from there to a device for generating a negative and / or positive pressure, such as a vacuum pump or a compressed air device , leads.

  • a plurality of suction cups are arranged at regular intervals on the upper side of the mat.
  • a plurality of suction cups are preferably provided, several channels are arranged on the underside of the mat, which connects the suction cups with each other and with the air outlet and inlet.
  • the number of channels preferably depends on the number of suction cups on the upper side of the mat.
  • the suction cups are further arranged in support cups, which in the position of use, when the suction cups are arranged on a skin surface, support the suction cups and ensure a uniform contact with the skin surface.
  • the support cups preferably have a slightly larger diameter than the suction cups supported by them. Otherwise, they are adapted to the shape and design of the suction cups.
  • the size of the individual suction cups may vary. Depending on the application, mats with large or small suction cups can be provided. Especially for larger areas, such as the back, larger suction cups are suitable. Inverted, the small suction cups are more suitable for smaller body surfaces, such as the face. Quite conceivable, however, is also a mat which has different sizes and configurations of Saugnäpfen. Such a mat may for example be provided for body regions with different elevations. Further, the suction cups may lift off the mat as shown herein. However, it is also conceivable to design the suction cups in a plane with the top of the mat or recessed therein. The suction cups can be incorporated into the mat, ie be made in one piece with this. However, it is also conceivable to produce the suction cups separately from the mat and then to connect with the mat, for example, stick or the like. These different possibilities should also be encompassed by the present invention.
  • suction cups various surface structures, such as, for example, nipples, elevations or dents on the mat, which are intended to promote the blood circulation of the skin by means of an additional massaging effect.
  • Individual areas of the mat can also be blank, i. be formed without suction cups.
  • a region of the mat which should cover the region of the spine during treatment, may be formed without suction cups.
  • the mat itself can vary in their shape, design and size, the different possibilities should also be included in the present invention.

  • the temporal needs and the intensity of the air or fluid intake should be adjustable and individually adjustable. Here is the invention no limits. It is important that it should be possible to provide only a certain number of suction cups or even a suction cup with an excess or negative pressure or to pressurize with liquid.
