DEVICE FOR SELF-MASSAGE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: medical equipment. SUBSTANCE: device has handle 1, flexible rods 2, made of ferrous material, which have free ends to be disposed in the same surface in form of a fan, massage members 3, circular magnets 4 with axial magnetization, disposed in the surface of handle 1, made of dielectric material, rings 5; rods 2 are connected with the ring inside handle 1. After circular magnets 4 are mounted inside handle 1, massage members become magnetic fields sources. When massage members 3 touth parts of the body, pulsed compression of the tissues occurs and magnetic energy is transmitted to nerve cell through rods 2 from permanent magnetic field source 4, providing complex proceeding of physiological, biophysiological and other processes in biologic tissues. EFFECT: improved efficiency of massage due to synchronous mechanical and magnetic effect. 3 cl, 1 dwg
