STEAM INHALER
A steam inhaler includes a steam chamber housing having mounted therein a heater assembly. The steam chamber housing defines a steam chamber adapted to receive water. A fitting mounted to the steam chamber housing has a steam conduit section extended toward an exterior vent opening, a nozzle conduit section extended from the steam conduit, and a fresh air conduit section extended from the steam conduit section at a location downstream of the nozzle conduit section. The fitting is configured such that steam flows freely from the steam chamber, through the steam conduit section toward the exterior vent opening, a suction provided at the nozzle redirects at least a portion of the steam into the nozzle conduit section toward a mask, and the fresh air conduit directs fresh air into the steam conduit section to reduce a temperature of the steam exiting the exterior vent opening.
METHODS, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR APPLYING PRESSURE TO A NEWBORN BABY
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for applying pressure to a newborn baby. The apparatus defines a cavity for holding the newborn baby therein, and a plurality of expandable conduits that each substantially surround the cavity, where each conduit is independently expandable: (1) on transfer of fluid from a fluid source into the conduit; (2) on application of an electric potential from an electric potential source to the conduit; or (3) a combination thereof, to apply pressure along at least a portion of the length of the newborn baby held in the cavity.. The present disclosure also discusses methods of applying pressure to a newborn baby in a pressure applying apparatus, and systems for applying pressure to a newborn baby.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING A MOTION PATTERN OF A PERSON
A device and a method for identifying a motion pattern of a person that allow suitable feedback about an identified motion pattern to be produced in real time, to address the disadvantage that there is no provision for direct feedback to the person in the event of abnormal behavior being detected. This is achieved by virtue of a device for identifying a motion pattern of a person having at least one sensor for capturing motion parameters and at least one evaluation unit, which is couplable to the at least one sensor, for evaluating the motion parameters and for producing a motion pattern.
CONTINUOUS AND PULSED AIR MASSAGER
An air massager includes an air flow generator having an output, a nozzle in fluid communication with the output, and a pulsed air generator located between the output and the nozzle. Operation of the pulsed air generator alternately allows and restricts air flow from the output to the nozzle. A method of operating the massager is also provided.
Collapsible and Transportable Parallel Bar Assembly
A portable physical therapy system for remote physical therapy and related methods. The system includes collapsible bars that are hingedly attachable to handrails, and the collapsible bars are securable at any of a plurality of lengths. The system also includes bar feet, and each bar foot secures a collapsible bar or a base thereon and securely engages a surface thereunder. The lower portion of the bar foot includes a suction cup to secure the bar foot to the surface by suction. The system may be folded up into the base which functions as a carrying case for storage or transport of the system and may be unfolded and assembled as a set of parallel bars, a pull bar, or another configuration for physical therapy and rehabilitation.
ERGONOMIC RABBIT VIBRATOR
A rabbit vibrator comprising two arms connected to an ergonomic handle. The rabbit vibrator consists of an internal arm that stimulates the vagina and external arm that stimulates the clitoris, both integrated into a triangular handle. The body of the product is super flexible, made of compliant silicone for the user's comfort and conformation to their anatomy.
EAR AND NOSE CLEANING DEVICE
The present invention discloses an ear and/or nose cleaning device comprising a handle including at least one cartridge. The cleaning device further comprises at least one cleaning tip having a spiral body, at least one curved shape feature, a set of bristles, or a combination thereof. The spiral body can include one of an oval shape arrangement and a cylindrical shape arrangement. The handle is configured to couple with the at least one cleaning tip using a connection mechanism. Furthermore, the present invention also discloses the cleaning tip for use in an ear and nose cleaning device.
GRIP THERAPY DEVICES AND REHABILITATION SYSTEMS
Hand grip therapy devices and systems for rehabilitation system for increasing the functionality and/or strength in a hand compromised by disease, injury, and the like. In one embodiment the hand grip therapy device includes a dodecahedron portion which is gripped by a hand having less functionality and a prism or paddle portion which is gripped by a hand having greater functionality, the device then being manipulated in a therapeutic manner using both hands.
CHEST WALL THERAPY GARMENT
Devices, systems, and methods for High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation therapy can include a therapy garment including a covering garment for dressing on a patient's torso, the covering garment including a bladder pocket defined between inward and outward layers, and a fluid bladder arranged within the bladder pocket. The fluid bladder can define a pressurizable chamber adapted to receive pressurized fluid to provide force of high frequency pressure oscillation to a patient's chest wall. The pressurizable chamber can be formed to define an outer profile shaped to correspond closely with the patient's rib cage profile to reduce transfer of force of high frequency chest oscillation to the patient's torso outside of the patient's rib cage profile.
Liquid Ventilation System
A liquid ventilation system includes a reservoir holding a perfluorochemical (“PFC”) fluid, and a suction pump connected to the reservoir to reduce pressure within the reservoir. A sensor is configured to measure an intra-lung pressure. An appliance is configured to be disposed within a patient. The appliance carries an injector to supply the PFC fluid through the appliance. An extraction valve is disposed on an extraction line between the appliance and the reservoir. The extraction valve is arrangeable between a first position enabling fluid communication from the appliance to the reservoir and a second position disabling fluid communication from the appliance to the reservoir.
