A massaging system for application to the body for simulating muscular contraction in enhancing flow of venous blood and lymphatic fluid. The system includes a flexible pad having fixed to one face thereof a set of elastic tubing coil portions forming part of a recirculating hydraulic system including a pump for creating pulsating fluid flow. The segments of elastic tubing between the tubing portions fixed to the pad are disposed in substantially parallel relation, spaced from the fixed portions, and are supplied to a part of the body to be treated so that pulsations of fluid flow in the elastic segments are directed cardiocipetally, i. e. toward the heart. Thus the pulsations are transmitted through the wall of the elastic tubing segments and through the patient's skin and adjacent tissue, and are applied to the muscle. The cardiocipetal orientation of the tubing segments and of the resulting pressure pulsations longitudinally of the effected muscle serve to provide the pumping action in the adjacent veins and lymphatic passages which would normally be provided by muscular contractions during ordinary body movements. The pump of the system desirably includes means for controlling the pressure, the frequency of pulsations and the temperature of the circulating liquid, typically water.

A system for ear irrigation, consisting of an applicator for applying a solution of water at a temperature of 100. degree. F. to 105. degree. F. , and at a pressure pulsating between 0 and 75 psi, at a frequency substantially above 100 cycles per minute--preferably 1,000 cycles per minute or somewhat higher. The flow of liquid is supplied to the ear by means of an applicator having a tapered end, which ends in a smooth convex manner. The tube connects by a male connector to a standard female counterpart, using a pulsating dental irrigation device. The distal end inserts into the ear, and has a smooth convex ending. At the distal end, three holes are present with accompanying three grooves. The position of the three openings provides for a pulsating solution to eject through two holes on one side and one hole on the opposite side. Thus, the solution rocks the cerumen, pulses the cerumen, and washes it.
