A basin with opposing hinged doors for providing a hospital-grade basin which can be used as either a traditional, watertight basin or a modified watertight basin that includes half-moon shaped openings disposed in its side walls to allow a patient's limb to rest comfortably while positioned across the basin. The basin with opposing hinged doors defines a tub member that includes at least one side wall with a semicircle opening extending down into it from the top of the wall. For each opening, a correspondingly shaped door is hingedly attached adjacent thereto, enabling it to move between a closed position defining the traditional, watertight basin and an open position defining a modified watertight basin with an opening for part of a limb. Each opening and door employ a locking means suitable to secure the door in place when desired.

A salon treatment assembly (10) for use by a user during a salon treatment, comprises a foot bath (16), a salon chair (14), and an adjuster assembly (20). The salon chair (14) supports the user during the salon treatment and is coupled to the foot bath (16). The salon chair (14) can have a chair body (31) including a seat support (28), and an arm rest (32A) that is movably coupled to the seat support (28). The adjuster assembly (20) selectively moves the arm rest (32A) relative to the seat support (28) such that the salon chair (14) is alternatively positioned in a closed configuration, wherein the arm rest (32A) is positioned directly adjacent to a forward portion (28A) of the seat support (28), and an open configuration, wherein the arm rest (32A) is not positioned directly adjacent to the forward portion (28A) of the seat support (28).

Apparatus and methods for integrated emergency wash systems. Various embodiments pertain to integrated shower and eyewash emergency wash systems, including those that are particularly space efficient. Other embodiments pertain to emergency shower nozzles that provide sprayed water in sheets, especially a cylindrical sheet that generally describes the perimeter of the shower spray area, providing the user a significantly quicker removal of contaminant material during a shower. Still further embodiments pertain to improved flushing systems, especially flushing systems adapted for the space efficient, low flow integrated systems described herein.

An acupressure apparatus includes a tub configured to receive the user's feet for acupressure treatment, an acupressure station having a pair of designated foot placing areas for facilitating accurate positioning of the feet on the acupressure station, a plurality of upward projections formed on an upper surface of the acupressure station, and a plurality of watering holes formed around the projections, and a water supply conduit connected to the bottom wall of the tub for supplying compressed water by operation of a water pump. The watering holes formed in the acupressure station are directed to acupressure points of the feet such that the compressed water delivered through the watering holes provides acupressure stimulations to the acupressure points of the feet.

A spa is provided that includes: a basin; a motor having a shaft defining a rotation axis; a hub mounted to the shaft, the hub having North and South pole domains spaced apart from each other and arranged to encircle the rotation axis in alternating relation; and an impeller which is disposed in the basin in axially spaced relation to the hub and is at least substantially constrained against movement but for rotation about the axis, the impeller including a rotor body of a non-magnetic, electrically-conductive material having relatively low magnetic permeability. The improvement in which is that there are lights and coils coupled to the impeller for rotation therewith, the lights and coils being coupled and adapted such that, in use, the rotating magnetic fields associated with the drive hub created induced currents in the coils which actuate the lights and create a net force that rotates the impeller.

The object of the invention is to provide a device and means for artificial insemination. The present invention provides two methods of sperm delivery that aim to increase the success of intracervical artificial insemination. The shape and design of the present invention also allows artificial insemination to be a pleasurable experience.

A soaking apparatus suitable for use in a shower, wherein the apparatus comprises a reservoir for holding water. The apparatus may comprise at least one rotomolded part. A soaking chair comprising: a bucket seat comprising a seat back, a seat surface, and two armrests; and a support structure; wherein the chair is suitable for use in a shower; and wherein the seat surface comprises a reservoir.

A method of treating or preventing one or both of a bacterial infection or fungal infection of a foot of a subject includes combining a diluent and at least one of a clindamycin solution or an erythromycin solution to form a footbath solution. The method may further include topically administering the footbath solution to the subject. Administering may include contacting with the footbath solution a skin area of the foot of the subject that is infected or suspected to be infected.

Disclosed is a skin washing apparatus using a brushless DC motor, including: a case for the skin washing apparatus; an operation unit installed outside the case, for commanding an ON/OFF operation of the skin washing apparatus and an switching operation for forward and reverse rotations in unit of a predetermined angle; a brushless DC motor installed inside the case to be operated by electric power received from the power supply so as to be rotated forwardly and reversely in unit of a predetermined angle; a control unit for outputting an electrical signal for controlling forward and reverse rotations of the brushless electric motor by a predetermined angle in response to a switching signal of the operation unit; and a skin washing brush mounted on a shaft of the brushless electric motor to be rotated forwardly and reversely according to an operation of the brushless electric motor.

A physiotherapeutic device comprises a skin soaker for soaking a portion of the user's skin with a liquid when the device is attached to the user. The soaker comprises a tub for receiving the liquid and a resilient seal at a brim of the tub for sealing engagement with the skin to prevent leak of the liquid. The device also has an electrical stimulator comprising a first electrode and a second electrode for contacting the skin to stimulate tissues under the soaked portion of the skin. The soaked portion of the skin extends between the electrodes and the electrodes are isolated from the liquid.
