APPARATUS FOR MAGNETOTHERAPY Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: apparatus incorporates several types of inductors one of which has four flat coils made in the form of equilateral triangle are combined to make up edges of tetrahedron. In other version, inductor employed for embracing algesic locus contains six coils each of which is composed of two windings routed along periphery of triangles contacting at tetrahedron edges. For treating humeral articulation and extremities, for example, inventors advise that inductor be provided with windings made in the form of spherical equilateral triangles having contact with one another over spherical surface. Apparatus further includes channel-by-channel signal distributor in which channels are provided with circuit for shifting generator signal phase by quantity Π(N - 1)/n for sinusoidal signals and by quantity 2Π(N - 1)/n for pulses, n denoting number of coils, 2Π signifying period and N representing number of channel. EFFECT: more sophisticated design; more effective treatment due to central vectorial magnetic field set up in algesic locus points, increased number of vectors of this magnetic field and greater concentration of this field inside inductor. 5 cl, 9 dwg
