Description

Technical field:

[0001] This invention relates to a magnetic compression stocking for the treatment of the widespread varicose vein. State of the art:

[0002] Varicose veins are very common nowadays. They are a circulatory problem caused by the loss of valve function. Various invasive and non-invasive treatment methods are used for varicose veins. However, even with invasive treatments, there is a possibility of recurrence. Non-invasive treatments include exercise and compression stockings. The tightness of compression stockings restricts daily activities, is ergonomically difficult to wear, and causes skin irritation. Studies have investigated the effectiveness of compression stockings, but the results show that they are only very weak or ineffective. Magnetic field therapy is frequently used in electrotherapy within physiotherapy and rehabilitation and is a proven treatment method.Literature reports that magnetic field therapy, under the right conditions and within the correct current range, has an anti-inflammatory effect, relieves pain, regulates blood circulation, and reduces cramps. The reasons for hospital admission of patients with varicose veins are usually pain and cramps. Another common complaint is the cosmetic issue they face.

[0003] Application number KR102163478B1 describes "functional compression stockings". The invention relates to functional varicose vein stockings, more precisely functional varicose vein stockings that can exert gradual pressure on the user's lower body to promote blood circulation and that prevent the user's feet from slipping on the floor by means of a cover.

[0004] Patent application number KR102402222B1 describes "compression stockings." The invention relates to compression stockings, and in particular compression stockings for improving leg health by means of an ergonomic compression method from the lower leg to the ankle and the sole of the foot. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the compression stockings are wrapped and compressed from the sole of the foot to the lower leg with a low-pressure unit that is uniformly compressed along the longitudinal direction of the back of the lower leg, and are manufactured using a knitting method for compression stockings.

[0005] The above describes various designs of compression stockings. These stockings have a compressive effect. The compression is intended to maintain blood circulation against gravity. However, this treatment does not offer a permanent solution, as currently available stockings cannot fulfill this function. Furthermore, the fabric and the stockings themselves irritate the skin by constricting the leg area, causing discomfort.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a new technology that can overcome the aforementioned disadvantages. Definition of the invention:

[0007] The present invention is a magnetic compression stocking that overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages, characterized in that it is made of bamboo fabric, contains copper wire, a lithium battery and magnets, enables treatment by a magnetic field, is easy to use, does not cause pain, has a battery and is inexpensive.

[0008] Our invention utilizes both static and time-dependent magnetic fields. The current that provides the magnetic field is generated by lithium-polymer batteries housed in a clip-like casing near the ankle. An advantage of our invention is that, according to the manufacturer, the lithium-polymer batteries are suitable for portable applications. Their lightweight design and high energy density make them ideal for extended use.

[0009] With an inverter integrated into the power source, alternating current is generated from the batteries in addition to the direct current supply. As mentioned above, the wires embedded in the bamboo fabric are made of copper. In addition to their suitable electrical and mechanical properties, these wires, made of this economical material, are positioned close to the surface of the textile material so that they can be easily replaced if they should break over time when putting on or taking off the stockings. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, magnets can be used to generate a magnetic field instead of batteries. The number of magnets is unlimited; they can be placed at any point between the ankle and the kneecap.

[0010] Because the stockings are made of bamboo fabric, they do not irritate the skin. A magnetic field is generated by the copper wire and batteries inside the stocking. Varicose veins are treated using this magnetic field. The device has an aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is very easy to use and, unlike other compression stockings, does not cause discomfort from pressure on the leg, does not irritate the skin, and therefore does not cause pain or cramps. With its simple structure, our invention offers a solution to the problem of varicose veins and is also cost-effective.

[0015] Description of the reference list: 1 sock 2 copper wires 3 cases 4 battery holders Description of the invention:

[0016] According to the invention, a magnetic compression stocking (1) with a length from the toes to below the kneecap comprises a copper wire (2) positioned inside the stocking from the ankle to below the kneecap and wrapped along the stocking axis of the compression stocking (1) made of double-layered bamboo fabric and around the stocking, a battery holder (4) which holds the lithium polymer batteries in position, is arranged in the form of a clamp and is located inside the stocking at the ankle, and a housing (3) which contains a mobile application circuit with an inverter that converts the direct current generated by the batteries in the battery holder (4) into alternating current, and a Wi-Fi module.

[0017] The invention comprises a mobile application circuit which, based on remote communication signals received by the telephone application, influences whether the inverter operates or not. Detailed description of the invention:

[0018] Our product according to the invention relates to a magnetic compression stocking (1), wherein this stocking (1) contains a copper wire (2), a housing (3), and a battery holder (4). Our magnetic stockings (1) extend from the foot to below the kneecap. The fabric of the stockings is made of bamboo and is double-layered. The copper wires (2) located between the fabric layers function on the principle of a coil and can have a thickness between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm. The copper wires (2) are located between the kneecap and the ankle and are arranged longitudinally and transversely along the stocking axis. The aim is to generate different external magnetic fields in this area by means of two different windings. One of these is a magnetic field generated by wires (2) that are installed in the stocking along its entire length.The other is the magnetic field generated by the current flow in the wires (2) wrapped around the stocking. Since a magnetic field is a vector quantity, a combination of the aforementioned magnetic fields is created in the area of ​​the varicose veins. The main reason for choosing copper for the aforementioned wires (2) lies in copper's suitable electrical and mechanical properties. The current flowing through the copper can be direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). For AC, an inverter is used to convert DC into AC. Here, the person can send remote communication signals via telephone to the Wi-Fi module in the circuit using a special program, thus ensuring the inverter's operation. Therefore, the plan is to generate a magnetic field with both DC and AC.The generated magnetic field is a static magnetic field, and the circuit board that controls the power supply and the magnetic field is located in the narrow area of ​​the ankle so that the person is not disturbed.

[0019] In the alternative embodiment of the invention, the magnetic field can also be generated by the magnetic effect in the copper wires (2) acting as coils, wherein at least one magnet can be located in the inner area of ​​the compression stocking (1) between the ankle and the kneecap.
