ELECTROMAGNETIC MEDICAL APPARATUS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering; surgical treatment without resorting to intervention with surgical knife, including laser. SUBSTANCE: apparatus comprises choke coils with core. Upper part of choke coils is connected with magnetic circuit constituted by set of ferrite plates. Metallic screen is placed below magnetic circuit. Lower part of coil cores is interconnected with electromagnetically permeable, thermally stable, shock-absorbing cushion pressed against metallic screen by plastic-made base plate using fastening bolts. Lower part of base plate has insulating plastic coating intended to protect nuts and bolts of individual bolt connections. Heavy-duty electric cord is used for connection to 220 V, 50 Hz electric power network via distribution socket and temperature controller. Upper metallic part of apparatus, distribution socket and temperature controller are covered by insulating hood, through upper part of which handle is passed. Bolts coupling upper metallic screen with magnetic circuit have insulating coating. Apparatus operates during 3-4 min and is turned off by temperature controller, followed by cooling apparatus (including cooling by air blow from fan) for subsequent treatment sessions 1-8 times daily depending on disease gravity. External windings of choke coils are connected to power supply network while their internal windings are interconnected with temperature controller. Apparatus provides electromagnetic induction 100-120 MT. Affected area of patient's body is exposed to curative effect to active depth of 28 cm away from plastic base plate. Apparatus can be used for operation-less treatment of patients affected with surgical diseases without making incisions on skin and body tissues for cutting short inflammatory processes, for resorption of abscesses followed by removal of purulent masses. Apparatus makes it possible to dislocate (resorb) thromboses in arteries of extremities and to restore blood circulation eliminating gangrenous phenomena. EFFECT: higher curative effect. 3 cl, 2 dwg
