Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Koppelmittel zum schmerzreduzierten Einleiten von Schallwellen in den menschlichen Körper gemäß den Patentansprüchen.The invention relates to a coupling means for the pain-reduced introduction of sound waves in the human body according to the claims.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Mittel, im Fachjargon auch Koppelmittel genannt, zum mehr oder weniger schmerzreduzierten Einleiten von Schallwellen, im besonderen Stoßwellen in den menschlichen, gegebenenfalls auch in den tierischen Körper aus Gründen der Diagnose und/oder der Therapie. Das Koppelmittel wird dabei schichtweise auf die betroffene Körperpartie und/oder auf den Koppelbalg des Gerätes aufgetragen, mit welchem die Behandlung durchgeführt wird.The invention relates to an agent, also called coupling agent in technical jargon, for more or less pain-reduced introduction of sound waves, especially shock waves in the human, possibly also in the animal body for reasons of diagnosis and / or therapy. The coupling agent is applied in layers to the affected person Body part and / or applied to the coupling bellows of the device with which the Treatment is carried out.
Aus Literatur und Praxis liegen gesicherte Erkenntnisse vor, dass das Schmerzempfinden des Patienten nicht unbeachtlich von dem jeweils verwendeten Koppelmittel bei der Lithotripsie (ESWL) und bei anderen Therapien mit Schallanwendungen (ESWT) abhängt. Von allen bekannten und bisher in der Praxis erprobten Koppelmitteln hat sich Vaseline, ein Abfallprodukt aus Kohlenwasserstoffen bei der Erdöldestillation als das erfolgversprechendste erwiesen. Es ist beispielsweise durch A. Heidenreich et al. aus der Fachzeitschrift "Urologe /A/ (1995) 34, Seiten 343-347 bekannt, die ESWL durch kutane Applikation von Vaseline schmerzfrei durchzuführen. Vaseline hat jedoch in dem vorhergehenden Zusammenhang auch Nachteile; sie ist in ihrer Konsistenz ein gallertartiger, sehr zäh-elastischer Stoff und daher nicht geeignet, einfach und schnell in einer möglichst dünnen Schicht aufgetragen zu werden. Dies ist aber Voraussetzung für den angestrebten Behandlungserfolg. Die praktische Anwendung der Vaseline hat nämlich auch gezeigt, dass bei zu dick aufgetragenen Vaseline- Schichten die Schallwellen stark gedämpft werden. Der Grund dafür sind in der Schicht eingelagerte Luftbläschen, die partiell das Durchtreten des Schalls verhindern und daher die Beschallung in ihrer Gesamteffizienz wesentlich dämpfen bzw. schwächen.From literature and practice, there is reliable knowledge that the pain sensation of the Patients do not neglect the coupling agent used in lithotripsy (ESWL) and other therapies with sound applications (ESWT). From all Vaseline, a well-known coupling agent that has been tried and tested in practice Hydrocarbon waste product in petroleum distillation as the most promising proved. For example, by A. Heidenreich et al. from the journal "Urologe / A / (1995) 34, pages 343-347, the ESWL by cutaneous application of petroleum jelly perform painlessly. However, Vaseline has in the previous context too Disadvantage; its consistency is a gelatinous, very tough-elastic material and therefore not suitable for easy and quick application in a thin layer. However, this is a prerequisite for the desired treatment success. The practical one The use of petroleum jelly has also shown that when petroleum jelly is applied too thickly Layers the sound waves are strongly dampened. The reason for this is in the shift embedded air bubbles, which partially prevent the sound from passing through and therefore prevent Overall dampening or weakening sound in its overall efficiency.
Des weiteren ist es durch I. von der Auwera et al. bekannt, bei sonographischen Methoden u. a. Vaselineöl zu verwenden; diese Publikation ist erschienen in "ULLMAN REPRODUCTION, (1998 Aug.) 13 (8) 2234-7" (Medline Abstract). Furthermore, it is by I. von der Auwera et al. known in sonographic methods u. a. To use petrolatum oil; this publication was published in "ULLMAN REPRODUCTION, (1998 Aug. 13 (8) 2234-7 "(Medline Abstract).
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die aufgezeigten Nachteile zu vermeiden und für einen möglichst effizienten sowie für einen möglichst schmerzfreien Einsatz von Schallwellen am lebenden Körper ein geeignetes Koppelmittel vorzuschlagen.The invention is therefore based on the object of avoiding the disadvantages indicated and for the most efficient and painless use of Propose a suitable coupling agent for sound waves on the living body.
Gelöst ist diese Aufgabe in überraschend einfacher Weise dadurch, dass als Koppelmittel eine Mischung aus Vaseline und Vaselineöl gemäß dem Kennzeichen von Patentanspruch 1 zur Anwendung kommt. Diese Mischung ergibt im Rahmen der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe einen gut streichfähigen Stoff zum raschen Auftragen bzw. Erzielen einer entsprechend dünnen Schicht des Koppelmittels.This problem is solved in a surprisingly simple manner in that a coupling agent Mixture of petroleum jelly and petroleum jelly oil according to the characterizing part of patent claim 1 Application comes. This mixture results in the context of the object of the invention a good spreadable substance for quick application or to achieve one accordingly thin layer of the coupling agent.
Praktische Versuche mit dem erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagenen Koppelmittel haben gezeigt, dass eine Mischung aus drei Teilen Vaseline und einem Teil Vaseline-Öl gegenüber allen bisher bekannten Koppelmitteln sehr gut wirkt sowohl hinsichtlich einer merklichen Schmerzlinderung wie auch bezüglich der Effizienz der mit Schallwellen behandelten Patienten.Practical tests with the coupling agent proposed according to the invention have shown that a mixture of three parts petroleum jelly and one part petroleum jelly oil over all previously known coupling agents work very well both in terms of a noticeable Pain relief as well as regarding the efficiency of those treated with sound waves Patients.
Zur Aromaverbesserung kann dem erfindungsgemäßen Koppelmittel ein Aromaöl beigemischt werden. Als Beispiel kann in diesem Zusammenhang Pfirsichöl genannt werden, dessen Dämpfe während der Behandlung eine erkenntlich beruhigende Wirkung auf den Patienten ausüben. Die Auswahl des Aromaöls kann zuweilen auch in Abhängigkeit von dem subjektiven Geschmack des Patienten erfolgen.To improve the aroma, an aroma oil can be added to the coupling agent according to the invention become. An example in this context is peach oil, whose Vapors during treatment have a noticeably calming effect on the patient exercise. The selection of the aromatic oil can sometimes also depend on that subjective taste of the patient.
Für die Anwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Koppelmittels bieten sich im wesentlichen
drei Strategien an:
There are essentially three strategies for using the coupling agent according to the invention:
- 1. Die erfindungsgemäße Mischung des Koppelmittels wird in einer dünnen Schicht auf den Ankoppelbalg beispielsweise eines Lithotripters appliziert, bevor dieser mit der betreffenden Hautpartie des Patienten in Berührung gebracht wird.1. The mixture of the coupling agent according to the invention is in a thin layer on the Ankoppelbalg applied a lithotripter, for example, before this with the Skin area of the patient is brought into contact.
- 2. Das erfindungsgemäße Koppelmittel wird dünnschichtig direkt auf die Haut des Patienten appliziert. Dabei hat sich herausgestellt, dass eine Einwirkdauer von 10 bis 30, vorzugsweise von 15 bis 25 Minuten vor Behandlungsbeginn den erfindungsgemäßen Effekt weiter verbessern kann. Des weiteren kann es auch nützlich sein, zusätzlich den Behandlungsbalg des betreffenden Gerätes mit einer dünnen Schicht des erfindungsgemäßen Koppelmittels zu versehen.2. The coupling agent according to the invention becomes thin-layered directly on the patient's skin applied. It has been found that an exposure time of 10 to 30, preferably from 15 to 25 minutes before the start of treatment the effect according to the invention can improve. Furthermore, it can also be useful, in addition, the treatment bellows concerned device with a thin layer of the coupling agent according to the invention Mistake.
- 3. Es kann auch vorteilhaft sein, das erfindungsgemäße Koppelmittel nur in einer dünnen Schicht auf die Haut des Patienten aufzutragen und den Therapiebalg des Gerätes mit einer Schicht aus herkömmlichem Koppelgel zu versehen.3. It may also be advantageous to use the coupling means according to the invention only in a thin one Apply a layer to the patient's skin and the device's therapy bellows with a To provide a layer of conventional coupling gel.
Zur Vermeidung von Stosswellenabsorptionen sollten alle Schichten des Koppelmittels stets sehr dünn aufgetragen werden.To avoid shock wave absorption, all layers of the coupling agent should always be applied very thinly.
