Patent Application
20120203055
The present invention is related to the field of medical equipment, specifically to means for treating and preventing diseases and functional disorders (stimulating) genital organs.
A number of methods and apparatuses have been proposed for treatment of impotence by exposing an organ to mechanical oscillations and a magnetic field (International Application WO2005041845).
The method and apparatus have been proposed for a combined action of vacuum and infrared light (AMVL-01 apparatus developed by “Yarovit-Yar Ltd”.).
The above methods are efficient for treatment and prevention of functional disorders and a number of diseases.
Such methods and apparatuses, however, are useful for treatment of a limited range of diseases.
A number of methods and apparatuses for treatment of impotence and scleroderma using the periodic exposure to vacuum and a traveling magnetic field has been proposed (RF Pat. No. 2,072,822).
This method is also useful only for treatment of impotence and localized scleroderma.
The objective of the present invention is to expand therapeutic capacities and improve efficiency.
The objective of the present invention is achieved by providing the method for treatment and/or prevention of diseases and functional disorders of external genital organs comprising exposure of an organ to periodic action of vacuum and/or mechanical oscillations and low-frequency pulsed magnetic field and an additional exposure to a light field, with the light exposure of different wavelengths being combined.
It should be noted that the value of the magnetic field exposure is set in the range of 3-50 mT.
The further improvement is characterized by the fact that the pulsed magnetic field is synchronized with periodic mechanical oscillations and/or pressure oscillations.
Then, the pulsed magnetic field is synchronized with the pulsed light exposure.
Embodiments of devices for realizing the method comprise a source of mechanical oscillations and/or a source of vacuum oscillations with a periodic controlling device, an isolated chamber adapted to accommodate a to-be-exposed organ therein, a source of a low-frequency pulsed magnetic field with an inductor generating a magnetic field in the place of location of the organ to be subjected to exposure. The device is characterized in that it additionally comprises a light exposure source with different wavelengths and a device for synchronizing and combining the light exposure.
This combined exposure produces synergistic effect which enhances therapy intensity, substantially expands the rage of curable diseases and also significantly increases prevention efficiency. Additional light exposure makes it possible to treat an expanded range of diseases, for example, skin, blood and other diseases. In addition, such an intensive and combined effect on blood circulating the organ during the procedure is similar to the blood treatment by exfusion. It is noteworthy that a portion of blood which is actually treated over the entire procedure in the effective volume due to erection, is then flows through a body and produces therapeutic effect on other organs, thereby substantially stimulating functioning of all organs and improving the body resistance to other diseases.
Therefore, a combined, multimode effect of the pulsed magnetic field, multifunctional optical radiation due to an extensive use of different wavelengths, light flux polarization and also vacuum pull provide three main principles of physiotherapy: synergism, complementarity and partial antagonism that allows not only the list of diseases to be extended, but also—which is the most important of all that—the treatment quality to be improved and treatment time to be reduced.
A fuller understanding of the present invention will be had from the following description in which the preferred embodiments is set forth in conjunction with accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1.—an alternative embodiment of a block-diagram of the device with a combined mechanical, magnetic and light exposure.
FIG. 2—an alternative embodiment of a block-diagram of the device with a combined vacuum, magnetic and light exposure.
It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that these devices may be integrated.
Referring to
The light-emitting diode array 7 is disposed outside in proximity to the light transmissive surface of the flask 10.
The principle of operation of the device is as describe hereinafter. A to-be-treated organ is inserted into the flask 10. Then the flexible gripping means of the mechanical masseur 5 softly encloses it. The control panel 1 is used to set the rate and frequency of mechanical oscillations and also color combinations of the light and sequence thereof. Parameters of mechanical oscillations are adjusted individually. Combinations of color of the light are program-set by guidelines of a physician or based on the sequential combination of the entire color set of the light-emitting diodes in the array. Frequency and intensity of magnetic field pulses may be also varied on physician's order or through the program based on the set standard sequences. The procedure time is also program-set or is stopped in case of onset of orgasm. The mechanical magnetic and phototherapeutic action is synchronized by the microcontroller 2, with the procedure duration. being 10 minutes and increasing by 2 minutes each day reaching 20 minutes and then reducing down to 14 minutes. The treatment or prevention cycle reaches 10-12 days.
