Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Gerät zur Trocken- und Naßbehandlung bei Erkrankungen, insb. in Dermatologie und Paronychie unter Verwendung von Ultraschall, bestehend aus einem Elektronikteil zur Regelung mit angeschlossenem Ultraschallschwinger.The invention relates to a device for dry and wet treatment for diseases, in particular in dermatology and paronychia using ultrasound, consisting of an electronic part for control with connected ultrasound transducer.
Es sind Badeeinheiten für Ultraschalltherapie bekannt in Form von Flüssigkeitsbehältern mit eingebauten Ultraschallgebern, welche Einheit zur Behandlung beim Eintauchen der erkrankten Körperteile dienen. Je nach Wannengröße sind diese Einheiten stationär oder auch mobil einzusetzen, wie z.B. die EPA 0 301 162 zeigt. Hierdurch wird die Durchblutung und Reinigung der zu behandelnden Körperteile und damit die Heilwirkung verbessert. Diese Badeeinheiten haben aber den Nachteil unhandlich und sperrig zu sein; sie haben einen entsprechenden Platzbedarf nötig und eignen sich daher für Therapieanstalten und weniger für den Privatgebrauch. Außerdem gibt es auch schon kleine Geräte in Form von Fußwannen für die Naßbehandlung.Bathing units for ultrasound therapy are known in the form of liquid containers with built-in ultrasound sensors, which units are used for treatment when the diseased parts of the body are immersed. Depending on the tub size, these units can be used stationary or mobile, e.g. EPA 0 301 162 shows. This improves the circulation and cleansing of the parts of the body to be treated and thus the healing effect. However, these bathing units have the disadvantage of being unwieldy and bulky; They require a corresponding amount of space and are therefore suitable for therapy institutions and less for private use. There are also small devices in the form of foot tubs for wet treatment.
