Capsular device for esthetic and therapeutic body treatment

## Abstract

A capsular device for esthetic and therapeutic treatment of a patient with emission of infrared together with negative ions, allowing easy elimination of toxins, heavy metals, preventive control of diseases and postsurgical therapeutic treatment.

## Background
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention involves a capsular device for esthetic and therapeutic treatment, but particular involves a device for body treatment.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As is widely known, esthetic medicine allows body harmony, that is, esthetic treatment together with medicinal treatment of the body. There are currently several types of treatments that use diversified techniques and devices for body harmony.
One of the simplest esthetic treatment techniques existing in the market is lymphatic drainage, which consists of specific massaging that drains the edema to the lymphatic vessels where it is excreted by the urine.
The esthetic devices most used in treatment clinics or esthetic centers are those of mesotherapy, which consists of applying drugs or cosmetics/special compounds in the skin or subcutaneous skin, allowing reduction of localized fat. However, application in large areas, such as abdomen, back, legs, among others, will not have complete results, since the drug's application has a limit to prevent toxicity.
Another device existing in the market for esthetic/therapeutic treatment consists of thermotherapy, which uses esthetic and phytotherapeutic procedures to treat lipodystrophy and specific pathologies. Said equipment is made up of a heat blanket, equipped with electrical resistances that allow heating of the inner surface of the blanket, promoting elimination of toxins, muscular relaxation, weight loss, skin moisturizing, among others.
However, the inconvenience of said heat blanket resides in the fact that its constructive structure is completely different from the equipment intended herein and does not have a control panel to analyze and diagnose sudden changes in the patient's metabolism, allowing occurrence of emergency situations without the control of the expert, much less show deposit/reservoir contained in the equipment claimed herein, which aims at keeping/collecting the sweat eliminated by the patient for conduction of clinical tests.
Another method of esthetic treatment widely used consists of the application of infrared rays on the body surface, activating the organism's cells, allowing stimulation of deep transpiration and, consequently, elimination of toxins absorbed daily in foods, drinks, polluted air, among others, in addition to the production by the organism itself.
BR document No. PI 9705982-0 was found that involved a health aid instrument to improve blood circulation in the human body, which functioned based on finger pressure formed by a cylindrical body and a lower cover inserted in the lower part of the body. A negative ion discharge element is fixed inside the body. Bio-ceramics is formed inside the body and surrounds the outer upper part of the negative ion discharge element. A germanium compound is formed on the bio-ceramics. A permanent magnet is fixed under the negative ion discharge element and a pressure element is fixed in contact with the lower side of the permanent magnet and in direct contact with the skin in the desired treatment area and projects ions and emissive rays.
The inconvenience found in said model resides in the fact that application of the negative ions is manual, rendering even application of the ions throughout the body surface impossible, in addition to having an embodiment different from the equipment claimed herein.
The applicant himself used in the past a capsular equipment for esthetic/therapeutic equipment, with different characteristics and by virtue of its constant use, developed structural and functioning perfections, promoting better results in the respective treatments, up till then nonexistent in the market.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Said capsular device is made up of a fixed structural base whose lower surface is a plane, while the opposite surface is made up of a long concave arc where a longitudinal rail is applied, which in turn receives the mobile chamber.
One of the advantages of this equipment resides in its configuration, that is, in its functional design, since said mobile chamber is oval and oblong, allowing the formation of an individual base made up of seat and back, whose interior surfaces are coated by a blanket preferably incorporated with bio-ceramics that, when electrically activated, emits infrared radiation, together with negative ions, allowing acceleration of toxin and heavy metal elimination, identification and control of some diseases and postsurgical therapeutic treatment.
Another innovation of this capsular device consists of the fact that, between the back and seat, that is, in the flaring of the base, there is a central orifice, beneath which a reservoir is coupled for collection of sweat from the patient during treatment, allowing sending of this sweat collected for clinical tests to analyze and check for toxins, diseases, etc.
Another innovation is the fact that the device has side arms applied at the end of the individual base, which are applied as protective elements, since they provide physical safety to the patient during entry and exit from the device.
Said device has a control panel with a computer screen in the inner side of the articulated cover. The screen generates images of the patient and the control panel records and stores all the generated images and all the variations in the measurements. This will enable a constant follow-up of the patient's treatment, and storage and maintenance of the information for the patient's therapeutic history.
Another advantage of the capsular device resides in the fact that it facilitates physical access to the individual base, allowing the use physically handicapped, aged, postsurgical patients, among others, due to the design of the equipment, this being one of its orthopedic functions.
