Portable Therapeutic Device Using Rotating Static Magnetic Fields

摘要

The present invention provides a portable therapeutic device for treatment of dyslipidemia, hyperviscosaemia, diabetic neuropathy, and peripheral artery disease, using rotating Static Magnetic Fields (rSMF). The device comprises a two part plastic housing with a handle and a designated treatment area, a DC motor with microcontroller and a cylindrically shaped magnet roller, which comprises magnets tightly fitted into a stainless steel sleeve capped with two bearing shafts protruded on each end. The magnet roller assembly rotates freely inside the housing with little clearance at assigned low frequency in line with the DC motor axis driven by magnetic torque from magnetic couplings, which include equally sized quad-pole magnet plates on each coupling base. The rSMF-based device produces an inhomogeneous surface intensity of 4000-7000 Gauss from its dual-pole or quad-pole parallel circuitry for an effective treatment regimen of the indicated disorders.

主权项

1. A portable therapeutic device, comprising:
a housing made of nonmetallic material with a handle and a designated treatment area; a DC motor with a programmable microcontroller; a cylindrical, diametrically magnetized magnet roller assembly comprising a stainless steel sleeve enclosing a magnet or plurality of magnets; and a non-contact magnetic coupling assembly interposed between the DC motor and the magnet roller assembly; wherein said DC motor and cylindrical magnet roller assembly produce a rotating static magnetic field for treatment of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperviscosaemia, diabetic neuropathy and/or peripheral artery disease.
