DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THERMOPUNCTURE EXAMINATION Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has holder handle, temperature treatment element manufactured as thin-walled cylindrical metal surface having high heat conductance coefficient with thermoelectric element arranged inside. The first thermoelectric unit junction makes heat contact to lower base of thin-walled cylindrical surface and the second one to heat-balancing plate shaped as disk and set at the same level with the upper base of the thin-walled cylindrical surface having hole in the center which diameter is slightly greater than one of the heat-balancing plate. The rest of thin-walled cylindrical surface volume is filled with heat-insulating substance.

EFFECT: simplified design and production process; high level of irritation caused to biologically active skin areas.
