Torch for medical purposes, in particular cupping
The invention relates to a torch for medical purposes. The invention further relates to the use of such a torch for medical, in particular therapeutic purposes.
In some medical applications, there is the use of fire or a flame, usually to heat a tool, for example, for the purpose of heat disinfection or cauterization. Another application of fire takes place in the long-known cupping therapy.
Cupping therapy is a regulation and detoxification therapy in which glasses or cup-shaped bodies ("cupping heads") are placed on certain areas of the body on the back and other parts of the body to stimulate and divert blood and / or lymph For the evacuation, various methods can be used, in most cases the interior is heated, whereby the gas inside it expands, so that the gas remaining in the interior is thinned out ("vacuum"). The vacuum thus formed generates a negative pressure during the subsequent cooling. For example, the following procedures are common: 1. Wadding is glued using a drop of water in the cupping glass and then lit. The flame creates a vacuum in the cupping glass, which is then placed on the body area to be treated. 2. Using surgical forceps, the user dries cotton wool or gauze into spirit, ignites it and drives it into the cupping glass. The flame creates a vacuum in the cupping glass, which is then put on.
In these conventional cupping methods, there are the disadvantages that incineration produces ashes, soot and smoke which come in contact with the skin and the wound. This is especially unfavorable in a bloody cupping therapy in which the skin is scratched before the therapy and the cupping glass is placed on the scratched skin so as to suck blood from the treated body zones. There are ash parts that contaminate and pollute the wound. Similar problems can occur in other applications of fire in the medical field.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device that improves the fire application, especially the fire evacuation, especially in terms of hygiene.
This object is achieved by a torch for medical purposes - which is also referred to as a "fire bar" - with a flammable head piece of a refractory material and a rod-shaped shaft made of a fire-resistant or incombustible material, the shaft facing at least at its headpiece End opposite the head piece has a smaller diameter.
This solution eliminates the inconvenience mentioned above and simplifies the handling of the application of fire. In particular, even a single, brief immersion of the firing bar in the respective cavity sufficient to provide the flame with which the vacuum is generated. This results in a faster handling and thus time savings, which is particularly advantageous in the field of medical applications.
The term torch in the context of this disclosure means a rod-shaped device which can be held at one end by hand and set on fire at the other end; a development of light is not required, although often at the same time on kicking.
In a further development of the invention, it is advantageous to facilitate a secure and ergonomic holding of the torch according to the invention, when the shaft has a handle arranged at the end remote from the head piece. Between the handle and the head piece, the shaft may be replaced by a spacer, e.g. a spacer tube, be formed, which may preferably have the same diameter. In order to additionally improve gripping, the gripping piece can have grip elements made of a plastic material on its surface, in particular of a temperature-resistant and / or oil-resistant rubber material.
In order to improve the repeated use, it is advantageous if the head piece has a refractory material, which can absorb a liquid fuel and, in the inflamed state, can give off the torch for supplying a flame. In particular, the material may be porous, for example sintered from a granular material, resulting in a porous structure.
The torch according to the invention is particularly suitable for heating a surface and / or a cavity of a medical or therapeutic device. In particular, the torch according to the invention can advantageously be used for heating the interior of a cupping body immediately before its application.
The invention together with further advantages will be described in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, which relates to a torch, which is designed primarily as a firing bar for cupping applications. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and / or the use of cupping therapies to understand. The cupping firing bar of the embodiment is shown schematically in the accompanying figures, in which: Figure 1 shows a side view of the cupping firing bar, and Figure 2 shows a longitudinal view of the front end of the cupping hearth bar.
Referring to the figures, the cupping firing bar 1 of the embodiment comprises a handle 2, a spacer tube 3 and a header 4 comprising a flammable "fire core" 7.
The handle 2 is formed of a round rod (cylindrical with rounded edges) with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of about 95 mm, e.g. made of aluminum-magnesium-silicon-oxide (for example AlMgSiO, 5 from Zultner Metall AG, Graz).
In order to increase the grip of the handle, the handle is additionally powder-coated, e.g. with IGP-DURA®face 581T from IGP Pulvertechnik AG (in Wil, SCHWEE), which is a deep-matted structure powder with grain size <100 gm based on saturated polyester resins and offers good light, chalking and weather resistance and good cleanability, in RAL7015, Fine structure matt. Thus, the handle 2 has an adhesion, does not slip out of hand and can be performed clean and safe. In addition, two rubber rings 5 are applied to the handle 2. The rubber rings 5 are made of nitrile rubber (NBR). Nitrile rubber is resistant to butane, propane, gasoline, diesel, lubricating and heating oil, grease, low-concentration acids and bases and has a temperature resistance of -30 ° C to + 100 ° C. The rubber rings 5 with e.g. Strand thickness of 2.5 mm are each in a groove milled into the handle 2 and serve the better grip of the handle 2. They prevent slipping out of the hand and allow safe guidance of the firing bar.
The firing core 7 of the header 4 is made of a stone or stone-like material, e.g. Silicon carbide. In the bottom surface of the fire core 7, a mandrel 8 is inserted, which consists of e.g. a stainless steel pin is formed and by means of which the head piece 4 is attached to one end of the spacer tube 3. The fire core 7 has e.g. a diameter of 20 mm, a length of about 25 mm and is preferably half round with an attached cylindrical piece. Thus, the shape corresponds to a circular cylinder with a hemisphere attached, but other shapes are possible, e.g. cylindrical, conical, conical with attached spherical cap, etc .; However, it is advisable to round off any edges to avoid damage to the cupping glasses when touched by the fire core 7. The mandrel 8 has a diameter of 6 mm and a length of about 50 mm, of which one part is inserted (sintered) into the fire core, so that the remaining length of about 37 mm protrudes from the fire core; this part of the mandrel is inserted into the spacer tube 3 as described below.
In the exemplary embodiment shown, the firing core 7 is sintered from a granular material, for example a SiC grain material having a particle size of about 0.1 to 0.5 mm; suitable sintering processes are well known, e.g. the SiC powder is added with sintering additives and sintered at 2000 to 2200 ° C under inert gas. The pin which forms the mandrel 8 is inserted into the powder material to be sintered at the beginning of the sintering process, so that the resulting firing core 7 is firmly sintered onto the mandrel 8. Due to the choice of material, the fire core has high mechanical strength and heat resistance up to 1600 ° C. It has a porous structure due to its production and thus the ability to absorb and store alcohol, creating a source of ignition that can nourish a flame for a long time, with which the cupping therapy can be performed. In addition, the fire core is wear-free. The size of the fire core is dimensioned in terms of diameter so that even the smallest input port commercial cupping heads can be passed.
The spacer tube 3 forms together with the handle 2 the shaft of the firing rod 1. It serves to create a distance between the fire of the firing core 4 and the handle 2, so that the firing core 4 can be immersed in a vessel with spirit without doing so the risk of burns on the hand (which surrounds the handle 2) arises. The length of the spacer tube 3 is chosen so that even the deepest cupping commercial type can be reached to the bottom; a typical measure of the free length between handle and head is at least 100 mm, e.g. 118 mm. The spacer tube 3 is very light and consists of a non-combustible material, e.g. from a silver matt anodized aluminum oxide tube (thermosetting aluminum tube made of AlMgSiO, 5 of the company. Zultner Metall AG, Graz) with 8 mm outer and 6 mm inner diameter, and total length of e.g. 131 mm (of which 13 mm account for the attachment in the bore 6 of the handle 2); it may also be made in other embodiments of a rod or pipe material which are fire resistant, such. an aluminum or stainless steel tube.
The connections between the components 2, 3,4 are achieved by suitable means. For example, the handle 2 is connected to the spacer tube 3 by a press fit, in which one end of the spacer tube is inserted into a bore 6 in the end face of the handle. The attachment of the head piece 4 on the other end of the shaft (spacer tube 3) by inserting the dome 8 in the spacer tube 3, preferably such that the entire projecting from the fire core 7 length of the dome 8 is inserted into the inner opening of the tube. In addition, the fastenings of the handle and / or the head piece to the spacer tube may be conveniently reinforced by means of a heat-resistant bond, for example glued with a solvent-free adhesive (for example by means of a solvent-free Pattex® adhesive). The fire bar 1 thus produced thus has a total length of about 238 mm.
The firing bar of the embodiment is rotationally symmetrical, but of course, in embodiments, other cross sections are also used, for example. oval or square, without limitation to the functionality of the device possible. As a result, rolling away of the device when placing it on a base can be avoided.
The suction volume of the fire core amounts to 2.5 ml of spirit. With this amount of alcohol it is possible to achieve a burning time of 55 seconds. With a time of 55 seconds burning time, about 40 cupping heads can be evacuated and set. During a conventional cupping therapy typically 4 to 12 cupping heads are set, so with the single immersion in the alcohol and a soaked alcohol amount of 2.5 ml and the burning time of 55 seconds, a complete cupping therapy can be performed. The user therefore still has sufficient tolerance if zones are not found immediately or must be fluffed a second time.
Thus, advantageously, the process of placing the cupping cups for a cupping operation can be performed very quickly, since all the glasses that are necessary for a cupping therapy can be successively evacuated and placed.
It is very hygienic because there are no ash parts, smoke and soiling, which makes hygienic work possible.
The fire bar according to the invention has been developed an extremely practical device for fire evacuation of cupping and similar medical items. With the help of the cupping rod, it is possible to hygienically evacuate in a short time the total amount of cupping needed for a therapy and to apply it to the appropriate segment zones or cupping zones.
The compact design of the fire core allows it to be inserted into the cupping glass and brought down to the bottom to create a vacuum inside the cupping glass without the rim of the cupping glass becoming too hot.
The cupping fire bar can be used several times, i. it is not a disposable or disposable device. After the spirit is burned, the fire rod can thus be used again for the next cupping therapy. There is no wear because it has a high heat resistance as mentioned. Thus, the invention provides a working tool which means a one-time investment and can be used for many years and allows a clean, hygienic cupping. For the application of the cupping firing bar, the head 4 (core of fire) is placed in a jar filled with a liquid or gel fuel, e.g. Methylated spirit, immersed and kept in it for a short time. The material of the head piece absorbs the spirit (fuel). After complete filling of the silicon carbide core, it is ignited. Ignition of the firebern can either be done with a lighter or, if both hands are needed, with the help of e.g. an alcohol burner or other stationary flame (gas flame). The result is a continuous flame in which the spirit, which has been absorbed by the silicon carbide core burns continuously. The material of the headpiece keeps the flame up for a long time with the help of the sucked up alcohol after the ignition of the fire core.
With this flame, the user can create the vacuum in the cupping glasses, by driving with the fire bar into the cupping glass. Due to the heat, air escapes from the cupping head and a vacuum is left when the bar is being used. Subsequently, the cupping glass is placed on the skin area on certain cupping zones, which are in contact with specific organs, in accordance with known cupping methods.
The advantage of the cupping fire bar according to the invention is that all cupping glasses can be evacuated in one operation and applied to the corresponding body zones. The Schröpf flaming rod leaves no traces of smoke and ash and does not lead to any contamination, is therefore absolutely hygienic and warms at the same time the edge of the cup, which gives the patient a pleasant feeling of warmth when he gets the cupping head. The heat also serves to keep the scribed areas of the skin open, thus sucking out sufficiently contaminated blood escaping from these sites through the vacuum and thus removing it from the body. Another effect of the high vacuum created by the evacuation is the attraction that arises when the cupping glass is left on for a long time. This stimulus exerts an effect on the organ associated with the segment via the spinal nerves. With this one can achieve a regulation therapy of internal organs.
In addition, a self-blood therapy can be achieved with it, if the skin was not scratched and the cupping head is left on for a long time and thus creates a hematoma. Blood is sucked into the tissue and corresponds to a self-blood therapy, in which more normally blood is taken from the vein and injected into the tissue. This can be spared in the cupping therapy, as the blood is sucked from the veins into the tissue by the vacuum, there is a hematoma and in the next few days a healing irritant effect and immunological reaction due to the processing of this hematoma arises.
