Soft tissue tech instrument

摘要

A pair of soft tissue instruments which provide a combination edge profile allowing a single tool to break up fibrous adhesions and massage damaged tissues in order to restore healthy function to muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves that have been affected by inflammation, injuries or various traumas. The combination edge profile is formed by a double wide radius following the full thickness of the tool similarly as a spherically blunted tangent ogive, including a nose radius covering around 90 degrees of the curved edge; the double specific radius sharpness angle varying from 1 degree near the full tool thickness of the instrument up to around 50 degrees as an average, but reaching around 90 degrees just when it reaches the much smaller tip edge radius.

主权项

1. A soft tissue therapeutic tool comprising:
a. a graspable rigid elongated tool body having a treatment edge extending around the entire periphery thereof providing a curved long positive treatment edge portion opposite to a curved negative treatment edge portion joined at each end by two end treatment edge portions of smaller curvature radius; b. the tool body being in the form of a substantially planar plate member having a substantially uniform thickness of substantially 0.2 inch with graspable first and second flat surfaces each having a textured finish adapted to provide a grip surface for the hand; c. the treatment edge extending from the first flat surface to the second flat surface and having a tapered edge profile extending around the periphery of each of the first and second flat surfaces, the edge profile being a tangent ogive including curved bevels of a predetermined positive radius each extending from a respective one of said first and second flat surfaces of the tool body and with the two curved bevels being joined at a tip edge by an arcuate tip portion with a radius of substantially 1/50 inch; and d. the tool body being formed out of a material selected from a metal, an alloy material, and a composite that has suitable qualities of finish, hardness, sanitariness, and resonance.
