ABOUT THE IPLIKATOR

The Iplikator with magnets is ideal for relieving back pain, relaxing muscle tension, and supporting overall health. It is recommended to lie on the Iplikator for 20–30 minutes, ideally on a soft surface like a bed or mattress. This time allows the spikes to effectively stimulate the skin and subcutaneous tissues, leading to improved blood circulation and muscle relaxation.

With regular use, the Iplikator helps support the body's natural healing processes, relieve pain, and improve overall health. This Iplikator is particularly suitable for people suffering from chronic back pain, insomnia, or increased muscle tension.

MAINTENANCE

Disinfect using standard cleaning products, and clean the Iplikator with a brush. Inflatable and transparent Iplikators can be washed under lukewarm running water.

Reattach any loose discs by gluing or sewing them back in place.

INTERESTING FACTS

The Kuznetsov Iplikator, also simply known as the iplikator, is a device consisting of metal and plastic modules with sharp spikes, attached to a polyethylene or textile base. The primary purpose of the iplikator 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, releasing muscle tension, and supporting the body's natural regenerative processes.

The Iplikator was first developed in Chelyabinsk, Russia, by Ivan Ivanovich Kuznetsov. Suffering from chronic kidney disease and after unsuccessful traditional treatment, Kuznetsov began studying Chinese and Tibetan medicine. Based on this knowledge, he created the first iplikator, a belt with sewn-on sewing needles. After successfully treating his problems, Kuznetsov's invention attracted the interest of doctors and was later patented and mass-produced. In 1980, Kuznetsov, along with scientists from VNIIFK, received a patent for the iplikator as a means to enhance human performance. The device became very popular in the former Soviet Union, where approximately 70 million units were produced.
