Description

Reciprocating external counterpulsation device

Technical field

The invention relates to a reciprocating mobile external counterpulsation device; in particular to a combination of a frame body and a flexible module, which reciprocates along a limb portion of a user to provide a technique of pressing and massaging.

Background technique

The external counterpulsation (EPC) device is used to match the relaxation and contraction (or ECG trigger) of the user's heart, so that the balloon sleeve is pressurized to the lower limbs of the user one by one to increase the blood supply and blood of the brain and organs. Physical therapy techniques for non-invasive mechanical assisted circulation, such as flow-cutting stress, dredging muscles to prevent thrombosis, improving myocardial function and peripheral circulation, are well known in the art. For example, Taiwanese Patent No. 104200640 "External Counterpulsation Device", No. 103210552 "Pressing Device" Patent, etc., provides a typical embodiment.

The known technology applies a plurality of airbag sleeves respectively covering the lower limbs of the thighs, the thighs, the knees and the lower legs of the user, and is connected with the airbag sleeve to connect the air pressure source, the accumulator cylinder, the gas pipeline, etc., according to the user's relaxation and contraction. The cycle controls the filling and deflation of the airbag cover to achieve the above physical therapy effect or effect.

The old method has also revealed an external counterpulsation technique using a plurality of balloon sleeves in combination with a leg bone stent or a bone machine module; for example, the Taiwan Patent No. 105207829 "Stroke Treatment Robot" patent provides a feasible embodiment.

One subject related to the structure and application of such an extracorporeal counterpulsation device is that the balloon sleeve of the known external counterpulsation device can be used to compress the blood to the upper part (or the heart portion) of the lower limb portion when sequentially inflated and pressurized in various parts of the lower limb. At the same time, it also forces part of the blood to flow in the opposite direction (heart part); that is, when the airbag cover is inflated and pressurized, the blood is compressed from the upper and lower ends of the airbag cover. As is known to those skilled in the art, this affects or reduces the effectiveness of the balloon sleeve inflation and compression to assist blood circulation; this is not what we would expect.

Representatively, these references show the design techniques for the structure and application of known external counterpulsation devices or compression devices; they also reflect the presence of these external counterpulsation devices in actual use situations. problem. If the design of the external counterpulsation device or the compression device is considered to be different from the common external counterpulsation device, it would provide an ideal cyclic pressurization mechanism to improve the disadvantages of the prior art. We have found that in order to improve the above situation, we must consider the following topics:

1. Removal or different from the known external counterpulsation device, a plurality of airbag sleeves are connected to the gas pipeline, the accumulator cylinder, the air pressure source, and the controller sleeve is filled and deflated.

2. It is necessary to improve the known structure to press the lower limbs of the user, and push the blood out from the upper and lower ends of the airbag cover. Rings or lowers the condition of the balloon sleeve to assist blood circulation.

None of these topics have been taught or specifically disclosed in the above references.
