The present invention relates to a piece of furniture within which a massage system has been incorporated so as to provide a person, sitting in the piece of furniture, with massage capabilities so as to relieve pressure, stress, and/or tension. The system comprises a lumbar actuator which is adapted to engage a lumbar portion of the piece of furniture, wherein the lumbar actuator will be cyclically activated in accordance with single or multiple frequencies or modes of operation so as to provide the person, sitting in the piece of furniture, with varying degrees of massage as may be desired by the user or person sitting in the piece of furniture.

The present disclosure discloses a skin penetration enhancing composition and a use thereof in preparation of a skin delivery formulation. The skin penetration enhancing composition comprises sponge spicules and nanoparticles. The nanoparticles comprise at least one of one or more drugs or one or more cosmetic active ingredients.

According to an aspect, there is provided a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device (1) for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient. The device (1) comprises: a patient side (3) for engagement with the chest of the patient; and a user side (2) for engagement with the hands of a user delivering CPR to the patient. One or more of the patient side (3) and the user side (2) is at least partially formed of a non-Newtonian fluid, the viscosity of which is configured to vary in response to the application of energy so as to regulate a force distribution profile of the device (1) from a force applied to the device (1) by the user and transferred through the device (1) to the patient. According to other aspects, there is provided a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device and a computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device.

A massage gun and a massage gun extension arm having a handle end that can extend through a first bend and further extend to terminate at an attachment end. Various attachment mechanisms may be used to connect the massage gun extension arm to the massage gun, or to a separate massage tool. The massage gun extension arm can include a telescoping adjustment along the portion between the bend and the handle end, or between the bend and the attachment end. In some embodiments, the arm, between the bend and the handle end, can include a disconnection, the disconnection being in the form of a pivoting bend or in a complete disconnection of parts. This disconnection allows for ease of transport, with the massage gun extension arm stored and carried in a relatively small footprint.

A device and method for preventing the spread of a communicable disease during a close proximity services session is provided. The method includes assembling a device to a face cradle of a massage table prior to the close proximity services session, wherein the device captures one or more respiratory droplets excreted by a client during the close proximity services session. The device includes a closed sidewall, an open sidewall, a top portion mechanically connected to the closed and to the open sidewall, wherein the top portion includes a securing means for securing the top portion to the face cradle and a bottom portion mechanically connected to the closed sidewall.

A chest compression assist glove is disclosed herein. The chest compression assist glove solves numerous problems in the performance of CPR by a human and is intended to provide mechanical advantage for a single rescuer performing chest compressions. The chest compression assist glove disclosed herein mitigates the fatigue and degradation of performance experienced by the rescuer due to the high energy demands of performing an intrinsically mechanically disadvantaged action over a sustained period.

The invention relates to a vibrating massage table (1) including a support leg (3) on which rests a table top (2) tilting about a joint (4) with a central axis (40) and permitting an inclination of a patient, said table top being subdivided longitudinally into several butt-joined transverse cushions (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) each adapted to a part of the body, one of the cushions (10), adapted to the ankles and the feet of the patient, being subdivided into two portions activated to vibrate alternately by at least one motor means.

Said table includes means for modifying the height and/or means for modifying the inclination of at least one of the cushions by lifting one or the other of the transverse edges of said cushion.

The platform is subdivided into two frames (21, 22) articulated to each other at the level of a joint (41), for an inclination between said frames.
