A wearable sleeve is configured to be worn on a limb of a user. The sleeve includes a flexible tubular sleeve body that is elongate along an axis. The sleeve further includes at least one of a series of vibrating elements and a series of pneumatic compression elements that are attached to the tubular sleeve body. During use, the vibrating elements and/or the compression elements are configured to be disposed along a lymphatic drainage path of the user. Targeted photonic stimulation in the form of light generated by LED or laser may be employed to further enhance the circulatory and physiologic changes. Microprocessor incorporated control and interactive capability further results in optimized application and patient compliance due to improved efficacy.

APPARATUS AND METHODS TO TREAT HEADACHES

An apparatus to treat, inhibit, or prevent an indication of a headache symptom in a patient can include a cover, sized and shaped to fit over an eye of the patient to define a cavity between the cover and an anterior surface of the eye when the cover is located over the patient eye. The apparatus can include a pressure source, in communication with the cavity, capable of applying non-ambient cavity pressure to the cavity. The apparatus can include control circuitry, in communication with the pressure source, the control circuitry storing or otherwise configured to define a target cavity pressure value specified to treat, inhibit, or prevent the headache symptom, and configured to control the pressure source to adjust the cavity pressure toward the target cavity pressure value to treat, inhibit, or prevent the headache symptom.

11071680 · 2021-07-27 ·

An erectile dysfunction treatment system comprising a base unit capable of interfacing with the human body, a frame unit, a vacuum cylinder unit, a cap assembly with distraction means, a yoke assembly capable of interfacing with a human penis, and at least one vacuum line attachment. Use of the system involves the user preparing and inserting the penis into the yoke assembly, securing the penis in the yoke assembly, securing the frame around the penis secured in the yoke assembly, moving the yoke assembly so as to apply a distractive force to the inserted and secured penis, applying a vacuum to the inserted and secured penis and allowing distractive force and vacuum to operate for a therapeutic amount of time. The erectile dysfunction treatment system may be used to treat disorders such as Peyronie's disease and other forms of erectile dysfunction and may be used to enhance penile length and girth.

PNEUMATIC MASSAGE

A pneumatic system includes a passage to discharge compressed air and a sound attenuator including a first chamber in fluid communication with the passage and defined by a first wall through which the passage opens into the first chamber, a first surface of a second wall spaced from and opposite the first wall, and a sidewall extending between the first and second walls. The first chamber has a volume and includes a first opening in the sidewall. A second chamber is in fluid communication with the first opening and partially surrounds the first chamber. The second chamber is partially defined by a second surface of the second wall opposite the first surface and by the sidewall, and the second chamber has a volume and includes a second opening to exhaust air from the second chamber. The volume of the first chamber is less than that of the second chamber.

MASSAGE NOZZLE

A massage nozzle includes a nozzle housing and a nozzle core detachably attached in the nozzle housing. The nozzle housing is split-type and includes a cover mounted in a hole of a wall of a hot tub, a nozzle seat and a fastener. The cover includes an end ring and a side wall extending from the end ring. The side wall is conformed with the hole. The nozzle seat includes an inlet and a spray end which has a surface conformed with the side wall. The nozzle seat passes through and detachably connects with the cover. The outer circumferential surface of the spray end contacts with an inner surface of the side wall. The fastener is detachably sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the nozzle seat and cooperates with the cover to fix the nozzle seat to the hot tub. The installation is convenient and the cost is reduced.

Pneumatic massage

A pneumatic system includes a fluidic switching module having an air passage and a vent in fluid communication with the air passage. The pneumatic system also includes a sound attenuator coupled to the fluidic switching module, the sound attenuator having a first chamber in fluid communication with the vent, a first orifice in fluid communication with the vent via the first chamber, a second chamber in fluid communication with the first chamber via the first orifice, and a second orifice in fluid communication with the first orifice via the second chamber.

Heated Massage Pillow

A massage pillow configured to be positioned over a fluid jet includes a cushion and a retaining assembly. The cushion includes a front surface, a rear surface, and side surfaces extending there between. The rear surface includes an annular edge defining an opening providing access to an interior of the cushion sized to at least partially cover the jet. The retainer assembly includes an opening configured to align with the jet and a peripheral edge configured to retain the annular edge of the cushion. The retainer assembly is configured to be removably fixed to a wall surrounding the jet with the jet aligned with the opening of the retainer assembly and the opening of the cushion, such that fluid expelled from the jet passes into the interior of the cushion, so that the pillow provides massage and/or warmth due to the expelled fluid.

Nasal stimulation devices and methods for treating dry eye

Described here are devices, systems, and methods for treating one or more conditions (such as dry eye) or improving ocular health by providing stimulation to nasal or sinus tissue. Generally, the devices may be handheld or implantable. In some variations, the handheld devices may have a stimulator body and a stimulator probe having one or more nasal insertion prongs. When the devices and systems are used to treat dry eye, nasal or sinus tissue may be stimulated to increase tear production, reduce the symptoms of dry eye, and/or improve ocular surface health.
