MASSAGER-27 Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61H9/00 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: massager can be used for medicinal and sanitary body massage. Massager has two pipe-line systems for cold and hot water separately. Each system consists of separate working pipes with two aids for direct realization of thermo-contrast massage effect; the aids are disposed at preset distance from each other. Working pipes of both pipe-line systems are disposed at the same plane in alternation in parallel and at preset distance from each other. Adjacent ends of parallel pipes of any pipe-line system are connected in series with each other by means of tubular links. Aids for direct realization of thermo-contrast massage effect are made in form of massaging members having shapes of protrusions and/or bushings of different profiles. Protrusions of different shapes are made onto surface of massaging members. For better comfort of application, "cold" and "warm" massaging members are painted in different colors. "Dry" massage can be realized due to combination of mechanical and thermo-contrast effect.

EFFECT: improved efficiency of massage.
