Device and Method for the Application of a Curable Fluid Composition to a Portion of a Bodily Organ
Disclosed are devices and methods suitable for application of a curable fluid composition to a bodily organ, such as to a lower portion of a bodily organ. The device comprises a monolithic piece of material having a lower surface, two spaced-apart sides, and two spaced-apart walls connecting the two spaced-apart sides. A receptacle for containing the curable fluid composition is defined by the lower surface, the two sides, and the two walls. At least a portion of the height of the two walls is less than the height of at least a portion of the two sides. The device is deployable underneath the bodily organ such that a lower portion of the bodily organ is supported by at least a portion of each of the two walls.
FLEXIBLE LINER WITH INNER AND OUTER LAYERS FOR USE WITH A LIQUID-RECEIVING BASIN
A liner for use with a basin to contain a liquid features a plurality of bodies of flexible plastic. Portions of an inner face of a first body of flexible plastic are joined to corresponding portions of an inner face of a second body of flexible plastic, through which a plurality of openings are formed, to provide a multi-layer body of flexible plastic. Other portions of the inner face of the first body of flexible plastic are not joined to corresponding other portions of the inner face of the second body of flexible plastic, defining an air conduit between the first body of flexible plastic and the second body of flexible plastic for guiding pressurized air substantially from an air discharge apparatus.
Modifying humidity and convection to glabrous tissue to control metabolism
Systems and methods for affecting metabolism, such as the treatment of metabolic syndrome are disclosed. A method for treating metabolic syndrome can include one or more of the steps including identifying a region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue; positioning the region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue into an enclosed chamber; adjusting the relative humidity of the enclosed chamber sufficient to create a physiologic metabolic effect; and activating a convection fan within the chamber to promote heat transfer from the glabrous tissue. The method need not involve altering the temperature within the enclosed chamber.

Heating device and system for a water basin
An induction heating system for a basin of a pedicure chair and a pedicure chair with one or more pumps and one or more heating sources are disclosed. A conducting object is located on an interior side of a first wall of the basin, with an induction heater located on the exterior side of the first wall. The conducting object is separated from the induction heater by a solid portion of the first wall. The induction heater is configured to generate a high frequency field that passes through the solid portion of the first wall and causes the conducting object to generate heat. A controller is configured to turn on/off the induction heater to maintain a desired temperature in the basin.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THERAPEUTIC GAS TREATMENT
A handheld therapeutic apparatus and method of treatment are disclosed. In one example, the apparatus includes a valve system, a detachable gas cartridge housing unit that houses a gas cartridge or gas delivery from an outside gas cylinder in fluid communication with said valve system, a detachable treatment receptacle for the delivery of gas therapies is in fluid communication with said valve system, and a detachable nozzle in fluid communication with said valve system.
Foot spa
A foot spa includes a body and an electrolysis device. The body has a receiving space for containing water. The electrolysis device is mounted on a bottom of the body and includes a case, a control module and two electrolyte plates. The control module is mounted inside the body. The two electrolyte plates are mounted on a top portion of the case and are electrically connected to the control module. When the foot spa is operated, salt water is added to the receiving space for the two electrolyte plates to be soaked into the salt water in generation of an electrolytic reaction, such that sodium hydroxide and hypochlorous acid can be generated from the salt water to sterilize and deodorize the feet of users and provide the hygienic advantage.
GARMENT CONFIGURED TO ENABLE LOCALIZED SOAKING OF THE UPPER TORSO
A garment configured for placement and wearing on the upper torso, chest, and back of a wearer for soaking the breast tissue and chest of the wearer for the treatment of sore and irritated tissue. The garment having a shell portion configured to form a cavity surrounding this anatomical region allowing the wearer the ability to place a fluid into an interior space of the shell. The garment including a gasketing means and securing means coupled to the shell portion and configured to aid in providing a watertight or semi-watertight seal and securing the device in proper placement on the wearer.
Walking foot spa system
A system for the treatment of a foot includes a waterproof boot capable of receiving an insert with a plurality of nozzles and a dispensing ring. The insert can receive a human foot to be treated therein. The plurality of nozzles and dispensing ring are each in fluid communication with a pump, when energized, delivers a continuous flow of a fluid therethrough. In a preferred embodiment, the fluid is a medicinal, toxin extracting fluid.
Genital Steaming Assembly
A genital steaming assembly includes a heating unit that is positionable on a support surface. A canister is removably coupled to the heating unit such that the canister is in thermal communication with the heating unit. Fluid is poured into the canister such that the heating unit can heat the fluid into a steam. A box is provided and the box is positionable over the heating unit for has a user to sit upon the box. The box has a steam opening therein to direct the steam onto the user's genitalia for therapeutic purposes. The box is collapsible between a deployed position and a collapsed position. Moreover, the box completely surrounds the heating unit to capture the steam for directing onto the user's genitalia.
