Medical cups

Medical cups

Medical cups are glass vessels of bulb-like shape used for vacuum therapy, cup massage and other types of therapy. Their volumes range from 30 to 60 ml.

The therapeutic effect of medical cups is controversial; thus, they are not used in the United States, though still widely used in many other countries.
