METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING DISEASES OF SALIVARY GLANDS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying prolonged acoustic action to neuro-muscular tissues of maxillofacial region. Sound pressure is not less than 1 Pa. Acoustic oscillation frequency is 1.4-3.3 kHz, time duration is 0.25-12 h. The device has acoustic frequency generator, acoustic oscillation emitter, acoustic frequency amplifier connected in series. Acoustic frequency acoustic oscillation receiver and control and indication unit are connected in series. Acoustic oscillation emitter and acoustic frequency acoustic oscillation receiver are positioned in the same casing and separated with an air space. Emitting surface of the emitter is covered with flexible polymer layer which acoustic resistance is close to that of human body. EFFECT: prolonged physiotherapeutic treatment without interrupting acoustic interaction.. 2 cl, 2 dwg
