DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT PHYSIOTHERAPEUTIC TREATMENT Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has high voltage high frequency oscillator with electric discharge cell connected to it. The electric discharge cell is air-tight glass balloon filled with inert gas. Working part of the balloon is formed by two concentric walls of hemispheric shape having free space between them and being hermetically sealed in diameter plane. The inner wall of the balloon has low electric strength providing circumferential coronary discharge arising at the place of wall contact with body surface. Concave surface of the inner wall of the balloon has light-reflecting coating beyond the coronary discharge excitement. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in treating wounds and ulcers. 2 cl, 1 dwg
