Description
ABOUT THE APPLICATOR
Joint fabric applicators are specially designed for use on joints such as knees and elbows. They are effective in relieving pain and inflammation in joints, improving blood circulation, and promoting faster recovery after injuries. Suitable for home use as well as a supplement to traditional medical treatments, the soft padding allows better body contouring and ensures even pressure on the joint.
When used on the knee joint, the applicator is secured with an elastic bandage, making sure the spikes do not press on the sensitive areas like the back of the knee. The procedure lasts 30–45 minutes, during which one can walk slowly or bend and straighten the leg a few times. This application helps relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve joint mobility.
MAINTENANCE
Disinfect with regular cleaning agents, and wash the applicator with a brush. Inflateable and transparent applicators should be cleaned under lukewarm running water.
Reattach any loose spikes by gluing or sewing them back into place.

FACTS
The Kuznetsov applicator, also known simply as an applicator, is a device consisting of metal and plastic modules with sharp spikes mounted on a polyethylene or textile base. Its main purpose is to relieve acute and chronic pain. Its effectiveness is based on the principles of acupressure and reflexology, where the sharp spikes act on the skin and subcutaneous tissues, stimulating blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, and promoting the body's natural healing processes.
The applicator was first developed in Chelyabinsk, Russia, by Ivan Ivanovich Kuznetsov. Suffering from chronic kidney disease, Kuznetsov, after unsuccessful treatment with traditional medicine, began studying Chinese and Tibetan medicine. Based on this knowledge, he created the first applicator, which was a belt with sewn-in sewing needles. After successfully treating his own problems, Kuznetsov's invention attracted the attention of doctors and was later patented and mass-produced. In 1980, Kuznetsov, along with scientists from VNIIFK, received a patent for the applicator as a tool for enhancing human performance. The device became very popular in the former Soviet Union, where approximately 70 million units were produced.
