Device for repetitive nerve stimulation in order to break down fat tissue means of inductive magnetic fields

A method for breaking down fatty tissue of a patient using a device including a power unit, at least one switch, a pulse capacitor, and a stimulation coil, the method comprising:

• placing the stimulation coil in a plastic housing proximate to the patient wherein the stimulation coil is not in contact with the patient;
• charging the pulse capacitor;
• switching the at least one switch;
• providing a current pulse having a peak current in a range of 500 A to 6000 A from the pulse capacitor to the stimulation coil in order to generate a pulsed time-varying magnetic field by the stimulation coil;
• cooling the stimulation coil with a fluid cooling media;
• applying diphasic sinusoidal pulses of the pulsed magnetic field to a muscle of the patient within a body region including at least one of the buttocks, abdomen, or waist in order to cause a repetitive contraction of the muscle and a breaking down of the fatty tissue.

A method for treating obesity of a patient using a device including a power unit, at least one switch, a pulse capacitor and a stimulation coil, the method comprising:

• placing the stimulation coil in a housing having a surface proximate to the patient;
• positioning the housing proximate to the patient;
• charging the pulse capacitor;
• switching the at least one switch in order to enable discharging the pulse capacitor into the stimulation coil and providing a current in a range of 500 A to 6000 A into the stimulation coil;
• generating a pulsed magnetic field by the stimulation coil;
• and
• applying diphasic pulses of the pulsed magnetic field to a muscle of the patient within a body region including at least one of the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, or waist in order to cause a contraction of the muscle in order to reduce fatty tissue of the patient;
• and
• cooling the stimulation coil.
