A system is disclosed for stimulating venous and arterial circulation in a patient to prevent deep vein thrombosis, which includes a first inflatable garment sleeve configured to be wrapped around the left calf of the patient and having a first air input tube extending from an exterior surface thereof, a second inflatable garment sleeve configured to be wrapped around the right calf of the patient and having a second air input tube extending from an exterior surface of the second garment sleeve, a portable pump for cyclically inflating the first and second garment sleeves, and a bifurcated tube assembly for connecting the portable pump to the first and second air input tubes of the first and second garment sleeves.

A method for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may involve delivering heat to a first location on a limb of the patient, delivering heat to a second location on the limb, apart from the first location, and applying intermittent compression to a third location on the limb, located between the first location and the second location. A device for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may include a sleeve for positioning over at least part of one of the patient's limbs, first and second heat delivery members coupled with the sleeve, and an intermittent compression member coupled with the sleeve between the first and second heat delivery members.

Provided is a three-dimensional wave device for circulating energy and blood. The wave device prevents noise caused by collision of a plate made of metal, a vibration motor, and fastening members used to connect the plate and the vibration motor and addresses a problem in which, when the three-dimensional wave device for circulating energy and blood is applied to products such as beds or chairs, the usage of the products is restricted in a multi-unit dwelling or apartment due to noise.

An appendage massaging device that includes an appendage wrap having an inner band and an outer layer and one or more artificial muscles disposed between the inner band and the outer layer of the appendage wrap. Each of the one or more artificial muscles include a housing having an electrode region and an expandable fluid region, a dielectric fluid housed within the housing, and an electrode pair positioned in the electrode region of the housing. The electrode pair includes a first electrode fixed to a first surface of the housing and a second electrode fixed to a second surface of the housing. The electrode pair is actuatable between a non-actuated and an actuated state such that actuation from the non-actuated state to the actuated state directs the dielectric fluid into the expandable fluid region, expanding the expandable fluid region thereby applying pressure to the inner band of the appendage wrap.

Systems and methods for treatment using acoustic shock waves within an enclosed negative pressure chamber to fragment or otherwise to modify plaque in a patient's penile shaft.

A compression device for applying pressure to a body part can include a fabric member that can fit over the body part, and one or more actuators coupled to the fabric member, wherein each of the one or more actuators is configured to cause at least a portion of the fabric member to expand or contract along a circumferential direction, thereby decreasing or increasing the pressure applied to the body part adjacent to the actuator. The fabric member can be thin and stretchable, and can contour the body part over which it is worn. The actuators can cause user controlled variable pressure levels to be applied to the body part, including constant pressure levels as well as time varying synchronous or asynchronous pressure patterns.

A device for treating a user includes a housing having apertures. The housing has application areas including a convex top surface, a concave bottom surface, a convex rear surface, convex side surfaces and rounded protrusions extending away from the housing. A vibrational source is located in the housing to produce vibration at the application areas. A switch is in operative communication with the vibrational source to control operation of the vibrational source.

A mattress combined with a sound vibration module and air fibers, and an operating method therefor. An air mattress to which air fibers are applied comprises a sound vibration module comprising a speaker, a tactile transducer, a controller, and an amplifier, the sound vibration module being manipulated to generate low-frequency vibration through the conversion of an input sound source into vibration or sound after being amplified, and at the same time emit same as sound. While sound vibration stimuli are applied to the skin through the sound vibration module, contact pressure is distributed on the air mattress to which air fibers are applied, and a static pressure state can be maintained as a fluctuating pressure state. Moreover, the effect of improving muscle strength by healing of muscle cells, blood flow improvement, and low-frequency vibration can be realized through vibration stimulation, to thereby stably prevent the occurrence of bedsore.

A medical treatment device smart controller that includes a physical electrical connector for connecting to a medical treatment device with a treatment modality that can be changed when a signal is provided to the physical electrical connector. The medical treatment device smart controller also includes a processor coupled to a wireless communication channel and the physical electrical connector and configured to process the change input and send the signal on the physical electrical connection to change the treatment modality of the medical treatment device. The controller also includes memory coupled to the processor, where the processor is configured to write recovery data into the memory, and the recovery data includes the change to the treatment modality of the medical treatment device. The processor is further configured to periodically send the recovery data over the communication channel.

Embodiments provide devices, systems and methods for preventing deep vein (DV) thrombosis (DVT). One embodiment provides a DVT prevention device including a cuff that fits over a patient's knee, an applanator coupled to an inside cuff surface, an expandable member (EM) coupled to the applanator, a pressure source fluidically coupled to the EM and a controller for controlling EM inflation. When the EM is inflated, it applies a force to the applanator which is transmitted to the knee back surface causing a popliteal vein (PV) under the cuff to be compressed so as to increase backpressure behind the compressed PV and subsequently increase the velocity of blood flow in the leg DV's when the EM is deflated. The EM can be inflated in a cycle including pulsed inflation, inflation hold and relaxation. The cycles can be repeated and adjusted to achieve a desired increase of blood flow/velocity in leg DV's.
