PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon dioxide pressure bathing apparatus causing a small quantity of carbon dioxide to be efficiently absorbed through the skin on a local part of a human body.SOLUTION: The carbon dioxide pressure bathing apparatus 10 for improving the blood circulation by bringing carbon dioxide at prescribed concentration or higher into contact with the skin in the local part of the human body. The carbon dioxide pressure bathing apparatus 10 is composed of a carbon dioxide feeding means 11 for feeding carbon dioxide in the state of including water vapor a compressed air feeding means 12 for feeding compressed air and a flat-shaped covering patch 13 connected to the carbon dioxide feeding means 11 and the compressed air feeding means 12 via connectors 16 and 17. The covering patch 13 includes a first sealed layer 14 enclosing mixture gas of the carbon dioxide fed from the carbon dioxide feeding means 11 with water vapor to be directly brought into contact with the skin in the local part of the human body and a second sealed layer 15 enclosing the compressed air fed from the compressed air feeding means 12. The carbon dioxide inside the first sealed layer 14 is brought into contact with the skin in the local part of the human body at prescribed pressure or higher by the second sealed layer 15.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】少量の炭酸ガスでも効率的に人体局所の皮膚から吸収させる炭酸ガス圧浴装置を提供する。【解決手段】所定値以上の濃度の炭酸ガスを人体局所の皮膚に接触させることにより血液循環を改善させる炭酸ガス圧浴装置10であって、炭酸ガスを水蒸気に含ませた状態で供給する炭酸ガス供給手段11と、圧縮空気を供給する圧縮空気供給手段12と、炭酸ガス供給手段11と圧縮空気供給手段12とに接続器16、17を介して接続され、炭酸ガス供給手段11から供給される炭酸ガスと水蒸気の混合ガスを封止して人体局所の皮膚に直接接触させる第1の密閉層14と、圧縮空気供給手段12から供給される圧縮空気を封止する第2の密閉層15と、を有するフラット形状の被覆パッチ13と、から構成され、第2の密閉層15によって第1の密閉層14内の炭酸ガスを所定の圧力値以上で人体局所の皮膚に接触させる。【選択図】図1
