Apparatus for reactivating microcirculation of the blood

摘要

The apparatus (1) has a handset (21) having a disk (23), the skin-contacting face (26) of which is fitted with bodies (28) contacting the skin; actuating means (25) for operating the disk (23) so that the bodies (28) massage the skin; a number of through holes (34) formed in the disk (23) and communicating pneumatically by a tube (42) with a suction member (4); and a valve (41) for enabling or disabling pneumatic communication between the suction member (4) and the holes (34) to define a suction stage through the holes (34), and a subsequent release stage. The main feature of the present invention lies in the apparatus (1) having a heartbeat-detecting device (12), and an electronic central control unit (7) for controlling the valve (41) to activate the suction stage in time with the contraction (systolic) phase of the cardiac muscle, in which blood is fed to the capillaries; which contraction phase is detected by aforementioned device (12).
