Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydromassage device particularly adapted to provoke a peristaltic pressotherapeutic action.
  • a hydromassage device particularly adapted to provoke a peristaltic pressotherapeutic action.
  • peristaltic action sectorized pneumopressotherapy is the safest and most painless technique and above all enables each individual part of patient's body to be acted upon which is affected by lympho-venous hyperemia and consequent formation of cellulitis, i.e. leg, thigh, hips, and abdomen, to allow re-absorption of the liquid built up in the tissues by the lymphatic and venous vessels.
  • hydromassage tanks into which a pressurized fluid is introduced which creates a turbolent flow in the liquid contained in the tank which is adapted to massage the patient's body.
  • this massage is unsuited to cause continuously and uniformly distributed stimulation over the person's body owing to non-optimization of the streamlines in the generated fluid currents which effect the massage over the various parts of the body to be treated, and which should observe instead the physiological lines of the lympho-venous reflow circulation.
  • a not least object of the invention is to provide a device which by not being in direct contact with the epithelical tissue of the patient will cause him/her no annoying irritations, nor any partial or decompensated compressions.
  • a hydromassage device particularly useful in pressotherapy characterized in that it comprises: a tank containing a liquid, means of holding a patient suspended in said liquid, means for the intermittent distribution of a fluid under pressure, also when said fluid is admixed to others, translating internally along said tank and adapted to generate a continuous peristaltic wave in said liquid for the stimulation of the blood and lymphatic flow in the affected parts of the body of said patient and hence revitalize both the tissue metabolism of soft tissue of the subcutaneous layer and, by inducement effect also the tissue of the osteo- ligamentary system.
  • the device according to the invention as generally designated with the reference numeral 1, comprises a tank 2 containing a liquid 3 wherein the patient is immersed.
  • the hydromassage device further comprises means for supporting a patient generally designated with the reference numeral 4 immersed in said fluid, said means comprising a supporting element 5 for the lower limbs and a pair of identical armrests or arms 6a and 6b adapted for placement under a patient's armpits for supporting the patient's trunk in cooperation with the backrest 8. More precisely the supporting element 5 is accomodated at a middle portion of the surface of the wall 7 of the tank 2, which is laid opposite to a sloping wall 8 to permit the patient to assume a semi-prone posture.
  • the supporting element 5 is advantageously positionable at different heights on the wall 7 by means of hooks 5a, associated with the supporting element 5, for engaging one of a plurality of horizontal bars 5b arranged at different heights on said wall 7 to accomodate the build of the patient 4, or, said supporting element 5 may be housed in a portion of a translating element 15 and configured to slide without particular frictional resistance over and under the lower limbs of the patient.
  • the sloping wall 8 comprises two pluralities of sockets indicated at 9a, 9b into a pair of which, lying on a common horizontal line the arms 6a and 6b are inserted, again in accordance with the patient's build.
  • a depressed area 10 expediently located equidistantly from the two rows of sockets 9a, 9b so as to extend along the length of the patient's spine.
  • the depressed area 10 has means of dispensing pressurized fluid comprising a plurality of nozzles 12 which advantageously act to dispense the cited fluid under pressure in an upward inclined direction at approximately 45° relatively to the sloping wall 8 and hence the patient's 4 back.
  • These jets are activated from the bottom towards the top consecutively at successive preset times. On opening the upper jet, the lower one may be either left on or shut off.
  • the cited means for dispensing fluid under pressure further comprise an upper nozzle 13 adapted to emit pressurized fluid in a substantially downward sloping direction with respect to the patient's back in an intermittent jet as delivered by each of the nozzles 12.
  • the means for intermittently dispensing the pressurized fluid indicated generally at 14 in the instance under consideration comprise a reciprocating element 15 having an outer surface 16 and inner surface 17 coaxial with each other and extending in a form substantially shaped with an anatomical-wrap-around shape defining a space 18 therebetween.
  • the space 18 accomodates on its interior a first plurality of nozzles 18a delivering the fluid under pressure in substantially inclined directions on the direction of reciprocation of said reciprocating element as indicated by the numeral 19 in Figure 5 and a second plurality of nozzles 18b delivering the cited fluid under pressure in a substantially vertical direction 20 with respect to the direction of reciprocation of the reciprocating element 15.
  • the reciprocating element 15 is peripherally provided with two pairs of rollers 22a and 22b each being pivotally mounted for movement along guides 23a, 23b placed on each side of the tank 2 or with a reciprocating element system of support connected to hydraulic, pneumatic, or oil-operated pistons.
  • roller pairs 22a, 22b are protected by a case 24, shown in dash lines in Figure 1 to prevent them from presenting any danger of injury to the patient during the reciprocation of the reciprocating element.
  • both the first 18a and second 18b pluralities of nozzles are recessed under the plane of the inner surface 17 as shown in Figure 7 such as to cause no abrasion to the patient 4 during reciprocation of the reciprocating element 15 over the patient's body.
  • nozzles 18a, 18b of the reciprocating element 15 and the nozzles 12, 13 of the backrest 8 are then connected through tubing 25 to a pump or compressor which allow for the delivery of the fluid under pressure, through the nozzles 12, 13, 18a, 18b.
  • the translation of the reciprocating element 15 is accomplished via a device of a known type accommodated within a box-like body 26 placed externally to the tank 2.
  • the reciprocating element 15 may be replaced with an element set for oscillation about a horizontal pivot axis, being also equipped with nozzles to generate a peristaltic wave according to the invention.
  • the structure according to a modified embodiment of the invention comprises an oscillably moving element 107 which is supported on the tank walls and adapted to oscillate about a substantially horizontal axis.
  • the oscillably moving element 107 has one portion of its surface occupied by nozzles 106c. Of course, this portion would be at all times held immersed in the liquid as the oscillably moving element 107 is being oscillated.
  • the nozzles 106c carried on the oscillably moving element 107 which form another part of the means of intermittently dispensing fluid under pressure according to the invention, are connected to the feed pumps by a pipe 108.
  • intermittent dispensing of fluid under pressure translating through the tank interior may be accomplished, rather than by the translating element on which a plurality of nozzles (fed from one or more sources) are formed, by a plurality of fixed nozzles 10 6b arranged to be aligned along the tank walls, which nozzles are fed in succession thereby each nozzle will deliver the pressure wave according to a preset program creating an effect of movement of such a pressure wave along the extension of the tank from one nozzle (or set of nozzles) to the next.
  • the nozzles 106b are arranged in mutually parallel rows across the side walls and bottom wall of the tank so as to span the skin surface of the patient to be subjected to the treatment, in this case the legs, thighs, and part of the sides, at an inclination of substantially 45P to the top portions of the patient.
  • the means utilized to create the pulsating pressure effect on the liquid in the tank may not only be a fluid, as shown in the examples described so far, but any different source of pulses.
  • pulses may be provided by ultrasonic waves, in which case, of course, ultrasonic emitters would be provided instead of nozzles as in the various approaches indicated hereinabove.
  • the patient is introduced into the tank and held up by means of the buoyant belt 219, supporting element 217, and a rotatable roller 220 carried transversely on the linearly translating element.
  • the treatment is started, i.e. operated sequentially at preset times from below are the ultrasonic generators 207a which are located at the recessed area of the sloping backrest.
  • the ultrasonic generators 207a which are located at the recessed area of the sloping backrest.
  • all the ultrasonic generators of the recessed area are deactivated to be reactivated downwards. In this way, an important wave thrust is achieved which from the back reaches the neck base to then move again partly down to the hip region of the patient.
  • the ultrasonic generators 207a While the ultrasonic generators 207a operate as described, the generators 207b are activated which are carried on the linearly translating element 208 which simultaneously begins to translate along the guides 220a and 220b.
  • a peristaltic wave is generated which sweeps progressively across the lower limbs of the patient by virtue of the inclined direction of propagation of the waves issuing from the first plurality of ultrasonic generators.
  • the second plurality of ultrasonic generators having a substantially perpendicular direction of propagation to the skin surface of the patient, prevent the lymphatic and blood liquid from backflowing before the treatment has been completed.
  • the ultrasonic generators 207c carried on the side walls and bottom wall of the tank are operated in succession to create a peristaltic wave which moves from the lower limbs of the patient up to the sides thereof.
  • the ultrasonic generators 207d achieve the same effect by the movement of the oscillably translating element whereto they are linked, and afford the faculty of being operated either during the forward half-swing or return half-swing thereof.
  • the structure of this invention provides a modulable peristaltic technique according to the patient's conditions.
  • Another advantage of the structure of this invention is that of providing a simplification in the partialization of the treatment because it is possible to separately connect many more ultrasonic generator sets to a single computer which determines the number of the generators to be activated in conformity with a customized card of the patient.
  • the substantially vertical jet of liquid exiting the second plurality of nozzles 18b will prevent a backflow of lymphatic and blood liquid until completion of the treatment over the entire surface of the patient's body effected by the treatment.
  • the device of this invention is specially advantageous in affording a modulable segmental peristaltic technique by means of a customized card compiled to reflect the subjective physical conditions of the patient, i.e. a safe and painless technique which acts in a uniform progressive manner over the entire surface of the part of the patient's body to be treated allowing for re-absorption of the liquids into the blood and lymphatic vessels.
