ONKOCET Ltd. has exhibited the devices from its portfolio on the MEDTEC UK exhibition in Birmingham, April 2011 through our partner Medical & Partners.
Any manipulator for the action with the exogenous nitrogen oxide on the biological subjects, the cloth and pathologic centers makes it possible to use universality of generator parts. Temperature factor is fundamental physical limitation for applying the technology of NO-therapy as a whole.
The optimum temperature of action is determined by the following conditions:
1) by the absence of the possibility of the thermal damages of cellular structures;
2) by the absence of the sensations of thermal discomfort in patient. As practice shows, the temperature of the influencing flow of 40±10°C is optimal.
This, on one side, less than the temperature of the beginning of the denaturing of protein connections, and, from the other side, creates pleasant sensation of blowout by warm air by the patient.
Minimum distance from the outlet to the object, with which it is possible to carry out the sessions of the NO-therapy by coagulator or by destructor, is 150 mm. The flow chart of conducting the sessions of NO-therapy is shown in the figure. The NO-containing gas flow (NO-CGF) is directed to surface desirably at right angle.
Bright luminescent spot on the surface (optical and geometric projection of the outlet of manipulator on the workable surface) helps user to determine the center of flow and to direct him in the necessary direction. In this case in the region of the contact of flow with the cloth stationary circular region with the increased content of the nitrogen oxide is formed. Maximum concentration of NO is observed on the axis of gas flow and it falls to the periphery smoothly. Concentration of NO and NO2 on the centerline of gas flow is determined by the physical chemistry flow parameters (temperature and the content of oxides of nitrogen - fundamental characteristics of the air-plasma flows).
The effective scope diameter of the workable surface NO - CGF can be estimated according to the simple formula:
If the geometric dimensions of the workable region or object are greater, the scope diameter, working they conduct by the scanning rectilinear or circular motions with a speed of the displacement of the zone of the increased concentration of approximately 0,5-1,5 cm/s.
