Compression sleeve with massage rollers
11666504 · 2023-06-06 ·

The compression sleeve with massage rollers is a medical device. The compression sleeve with massage rollers applies a compressive pressure to an appendage of a patient. The compression sleeve with massage rollers is a mechanical device. The compression sleeve with massage rollers generates a kneading action that massages the appendage of the patient. The compression sleeve with massage rollers comprises a compression structure, a plurality of massage mechanisms, and a control circuit. The plurality of massage mechanisms and the control circuit attach to the compression structure. The control circuit electrically connects to the plurality of massage mechanisms. The control circuit controls the operation of the plurality of massage mechanisms.

UTERINE MASSAGE BELT

Uterine massage belts and related methods are generally described. In some embodiments, a massage belt may be configured to compress a uterus between two force-applying components to induce uterine contraction and reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. The belt may include at least one roller configured to push at least a portion of the uterus (e.g., the uterine fundus) in an inferior direction. The belt may be used with at least one inflatable body to push at least a portion of the uterus in a superior direction. The uterus positioned between the opposing forces may be urged to contract and increase its muscle tone to avoid severe postpartum complications. In some embodiments, the inflatable body may be part of the belt and may be positioned proximal to the pubic bone of the patient. In other embodiments, the inflatable body may be separate from the belt and positioned inside the vagina.

INTELLIGENT COMPRESSION WRAP

An intelligent compression device for controllable compression. The compression device includes a compressible body and a microprocessor. The compressible body encircles a limb of a user and includes an elastomer layer and an activation layer. The elastomer layer includes voxelated liquid crystal elastomers that contract in response to a stimulus. The activation element, which is positioned proximate to the elastomer layer, supplies the stimulus. The microprocessor actuates at least a portion of the activation element layer.

WEARABLE CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME PREVENTION AND TREATMENT DEVICE
20220054348 · 2022-02-24 ·

A wearable cubital tunnel syndrome prevention and treatment device is an auxiliary tool for the protection of cubital syndrome, using two long plate-typed main bodies with a convexly curved outer edge of the same shape to attach to the outer skin surfaces of the extensor and flexor tendon g with a fan-shaped spherical arc surface arranged in equal intervals on the inner side surface of the main body. The two extended sides of the outer edge surface of the main body cover both ends of the whole main body by means of the pass-through of the band or bonding, allowing convex arc rings to buckle the assembly tightly with the band, achieving the effect of holding and positioning and applying pressure with the elbow, and the effect of doing multiple point massage to the muscle groups of the extensor and flexor tendons on both sides of the elbow synchronously.
