ABOUT THE APPLICATOR

The Iplikator with an inflatable bag is a smaller type of Iplikator designed for targeted application on specific body parts, such as the feet or smaller muscle groups. It is made of soft material with sharp plastic spikes that ensure effective stimulation of surface reflex zones.

The applicator is especially suitable for application on the feet, where many reflex zones are connected to various internal organs. It is recommended to place the applicator on the floor and press the feet onto its surface while sitting on a chair. This method helps improve blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and contributes to overall health improvement.

The applicator can also be used on other smaller areas of the body, such as the hands, neck, or nape, where it helps relieve pain, release tension, and stimulate regenerative processes.

MAINTENANCE

Disinfect using regular cleaning agents and wash the applicator with a brush. Inflatable and transparent applicators should be cleaned under warm running water.

Loose spikes should be glued or sewn back to their original place.

INTERESTING FACTS

The Kuznetsov applicator, also known simply as the applicator, is a device consisting of metal and plastic modules with sharp spikes attached to a polyethylene or textile base. The main purpose of the applicator is to relieve acute and chronic pain. Its effectiveness is based on the principles of acupressure and reflexology, where sharp spikes act on the skin and subcutaneous tissues, stimulating blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, and supporting the body's natural regenerative processes.

The applicator was first developed in Chelyabinsk, Russia, by Ivan Ivanovich Kuznetsov. Kuznetsov, who suffered from chronic kidney disease, began studying Chinese and Tibetan medicine after unsuccessful traditional treatments. Based on this knowledge, he created the first applicator, which was a belt with sewing needles attached. After successfully treating his own problems, Kuznetsov's invention gained 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.
