METHOD AND PNEUMOSTOCKING DEVICE FOR TREATING OBLITERATING DISEASES OF LIMB ARTERIES

摘要

FIELD: medicine; medical engineering.;SUBSTANCE: method involves applying multisectional cuffs to treat collateral blood circulation and open capillary bed of ischemic tissues. Pneumatic cuff pipes connect the cuffs and pneumocompression apparatus. Pneumatic pressure is supplied to proximal cuff section that is higher than systolic arterial blood pressure by 10-20 mm of Mercury column during the whole rhythmic pneumocompression cycle. Pneumatic action is formed on distal sections directed from top downward with a value of 80 mm of Mercury column to the value in proximal cuff from 15 to 25 s with concurrent pressure drop in all sections to 0 mm of Mercury column taking place. Pause lasts 25-60 s to the next cycle. A daily session is 30-90 min long. The treatment course is 10-30 days long. Device has multisectional cuffs connected to excessive pneumatic pressure source via pneumatic cuff pipes, programmed unit for controlling magnitude, duration and succession of actions from section to section. The device has unit for controlling pneumocompression parameters in proximal cuff sections to provide autonomous control over pneumatic action value.;EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment.;2 cl, 1 dwg
