Abstract

The present invention relates to an ozone treatment apparatus using ozone gas, in which the ozone gas is directly injected to a lesion of the human body by utilizing the sterilizing power caused by oxidation of ozone gas, so that the lesion can be sterilized and stanched to relieve the pain in the lesion, thereby maximizing therapeutic effect by the ozone irrespective of the shape of bodily regions having the lesion and the kind of lesion, and so that the treatment using ozone gas can be readily conducted, thereby improving convenience in use as well as significantly reducing the cost and time spent for the treatment.

Claims

1. An ozone treatment apparatus using ozone gas which comprises an ozone generator connected to an oxygen feed tank for supplying oxygen, a supply pipe connected to the ozone generator and adapted to supply ozone to a lesion, and a recovery pipe for recovering the residual ozone remaining after ozone treatment, wherein the improvement comprises:

a cover plate connected to an end portion of the supply pipe adapted to be closely seated on and cover the lesion;

a disposable gauze having ozone resistance and disinfection property, the disposable gauze adapted to be adhered to the lesion on which the cover plate is seated and adapted to freely transmit ozone gas therethrough;

a dome-shaped hood disposed around the outermost periphery of the cover plate and connected to the recovery pipe in fluid communication with the recovery pipe; and

an exhaust pipe having an ozone decomposition device and a blower connected to the exhaust pipe and in fluid communication with the recovery pipe.

2. An ozone treatment apparatus of claim 1, wherein the recovery pipe is expandable in a longitudinal direction.
