ABOUT THE IPLIKATOR

The Iplikator is a smaller type of Iplikator designed for targeted application on smaller areas of the body, such as the neck, nape, or smaller muscle groups. This Iplikator is made of high-quality plastic spikes that provide effective stimulation of the surface reflex zones.

The Iplikator is ideal for use on the neck and nape area, where it helps relieve tension and muscle pain. It is recommended to place the Iplikator on the painful area and press it with your hands for 40–60 seconds, gradually increasing the pressure every 10 seconds. The procedure can be repeated as needed until the pain subsides.

With regular use, the Iplikator improves blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and supports the body's regenerative processes. This Iplikator can also be used to relieve stress and improve overall health.

MAINTENANCE

Disinfect using standard 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 to their original 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.
