ANTI-SNORING DEVICE
The present invention is an anti-snoring device that includes a non-woven fabric layer, a plurality of spaced apart apertures formed to extent through the non-woven fabric layer, an adhesive layer, a plurality of spaced apart apertures formed to extent through the adhesive layer, and a removable backing. The non-woven fabric layer is configured to fit onto a portion of a user's upper and lower lips. The adhesive layer is configured to facilitate removably attaching the non-woven fabric layer to the portion of the user's upper and lower lips. The removable backing is configured to cover the adhesive layer.
PROTECTIVE FACE COVERING
Disclosed herein are facial covering that are configured to be placed on facial skin and that may be placed on the skin in a sealed relationship such that air leakage is minimized. The covering may include a member configured to fit flush against skin surrounding at least one of nasal air passages and a mouth of a user, the member including at least one aperture to permit breathing through the nasal air passages, the member being configured to adhere to the skin; and filter material positioned within a space defined by the at least one aperture.
Aid for supporting of jaw angle used against snoring and sleep apnea
An aid against snoring with a slingshot-shaped outer splint which support the jaw angle and fixates the lower jaw to the cheek and upper jaw. The splint is pressure relieving, pressure distributing, bendable and therefore individually adjustable and adheres to the support (skin) (FIG. 1) from the jaw angle to cheek and upper jaw (and alternatively up over the bridge of the nose) (FIG. 4 and FIG. 5) and in that way prevent the lower jaw from falling backwards-downwards and obstruct the air way in the throat during sleep.
LATTICE STRUCTURE MADE BY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
The present invention relates to free-form structures made by additive manufacturing, and methods for the manufacture thereof. The rigid free-form structures comprise a lattice structure which is impregnated by a polymeric or other material. The rigid free-form structures may be used in wound treatment, e.g., as a facial mask.
DRESSING OF TONGUE AND LIP TIES AFTER SURGICAL RELEASE AND CREATION OF ADDITIONAL ATTACHED (KERATINIZED) GINGIVAL TISSUE AROUND TEETH
Soft tissue in the mouth (or other body cavity) is surgically released by an incision to free up the tension of the tissue. To prevent premature reattachment of the tissue after separation, a wound dressing is applied to the surgical site followed by application of a substance, malleable during application, that provides a dressing fixture over the wound dressing in an area of the surgical site that is to remain separated. The substance adheres to the area of application and at least partially hardens within a short period of time, then remains in place while the surgical site heals. The dressing fixture may be cyanoacrylate.
Lip and/or Nose Bandage
The invention is directed to a bandage, particularly a lip and/or nose bandage for use on wounds (surgical or traumatic), scratches, sores, cold sores, blisters, fever blisters, ulcers, pimples, lesions, and burns. The lip and/or nose bandage comprises a base sheet layer (on one end associated with at least one skin adhesive); a dressing layer; and either or both of: (the same base sheet layer) on the other end associated with at least one mucosal adhesive; and/or a malleable layer positioned between the base sheet and dressing layers.
THERAPEUTIC SKIN LIFTING DEVICE AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A therapeutic device has an elevated or raised portion that is elastically deformable for releasable adherence to a patch of skin so as to lift the patch of skin above a sensitive underlying treatment site in reducing discomfort or pain associated with tissue compression at the treatment site. With the application of pressure to elastically deform the device from its original neutral configuration, the raised portion is brought into contact with the patch of skin, adhering the skin to the adhesive. When the pressure is removed, the device flexes with the raised portion exerting a lifting force on the attached patch of skin.
PROTECTIVE EARRING COVER
An earring cover provided. The earring cover includes an elongated material having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a front surface, and a back surface opposite the front surface. A first padding may be attached to the first end and a second padding may be attached to the second end of the elongated material. The first padding may include an opening formed thorough a center portion and the second padding may include an opening formed through the center portion. The earring cover may further include an adhesive layer disposed on the back surface of the elongated material.
Facial Structure Stabilization Methods and Apparatus
Apparatus are described for providing support and maintenance of facial structures using facial support members that include internal silicone gel pads that are encased in an elastomeric casing and are dimensioned to apply downward pressure to tissues underlying the facial support members
BIOLOGICAL FIBER MEMBRANE AND METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME
The present invention provides a biological fiber membrane formed by bacteria of the genus Gluconacetobacter. The biological fiber membrane includes a first surface layer and an opposing second surface layer and a three-dimensional reticular structure bound between the first surface layer and the second surface layer, such that the moisturizing property of the biological fiber membrane is improved, thereby carrying more active ingredients. The present invention further provides a method for preparing a biological fiber membrane.
