A vibration therapy device that includes a housing that includes a handle portion, a head portion, and a module seat defined on the head portion, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor, a reciprocating attachment removably secured to a distal end of the push rod assembly and configured to provide a first type of therapy, and a therapy module removably secured to the module seat and configured to provide a second type of therapy.

Devices and methods for tissue treatment produce a mechanical stimulation therapy and electromagnetic field therapy. The mechanical stimulation therapy provides stimulation of blood circulation and stimulates treated cells. The electromagnetic field enables thermal treatment of tissue. Combination of both therapies improves soft tissue treatment, mainly connective tissue in the skin area and fat reduction.

A therapy system includes a patient support apparatus and a pneumatic therapy device that is coupleable to the patient support apparatus. The therapy device may receive power and air flow from the patient support apparatus.

A medical device providing a combination of thermal and DVT therapies to a patient. The components, arrangement of components, function of the device as a whole, and methods of use of the device are all devised to maximize therapeutic effectiveness. Effectiveness in this context is measured by the ability to provide a controlled application of the recommended thermal treatment including time, temperature, compression, and number of cycles with specified cycle duration.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for diagnosis, performance and/or regulation of physiological functions, in particular in an anaesthetized patient. The apparatus has a pressure device (10) for at least one body region or extremity (55) of a patient (50), wherein pressure-increasing means (21) and pressure-reducing means (22) are assigned to the pressure device (10), and a control device (30) is provided with which the pressure in the pressure device (10) can be controlled via the pressure-increasing means (21) and the pressure-reducing means (22).

An improved applicator device is an elongated, extendable applicator for applying liquids, gels, or lotions on hard-to-reach areas of the body. The device may have a removable and washable sponge which can also be replaced when worn and have a temperature controlled reservoir within the handle for heating or cooling the lotions along with having vibrating, massage capabilities.

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophobic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.

The present disclosure describes a manual or automated face plunge comprising a water reservoir, and optionally a chilling apparatus comprising one or more thermoelectric coolers to chill the water, and a controller to electronically control the chilling apparatus. The disclosure further describes methods for chilling the face, triggering the central nervous system, promoting human health, promoting human beauty, and promoting aesthetic benefits to a human in need thereof, comprising immersing the face of the person in the face plunge in accordance to various immersion regimens. In various aspects, the face plunge comprises ice-cold water for the facial immersions.

The pneumatic therapy apparatus and method with overlapped compression include a wrap and a controller. The wrap includes an outer wrap and an inner air bladder set; the controller can be fixedly connected to, detachably connected to, or separately connected to the outer wrap; the inner air bladder set includes one or more than one set of a first air bladder and a second air bladder that are overlapped; the controller contains an inflating motor and an integrated control board that are electrically connected. The inflating motor that is controlled by the integrated control board inflates the second air bladder first and then the first air bladder to achieve the overlapped compression between the second air bladder and the first air bladder. Therefore, the user can use the pneumatic therapy apparatus and method with overlapped compression to promote blood flow, treat lymphedema, prevent deep vein thrombosis and other diseases, and improve user experience in the treatment areas.

A neuromodulation system for treatment of physiological disorders. The system includes one or more stimulators for stimulating one or more cranial nerves; one or more detectors configured for detecting a predetermined physiological state; and a control unit that controls nerve stimulation by the one or more stimulators so that it is synchronized with the at least one predetermined physiological state detected by the one or more detectors. A method of neuromodulating a patient for treatment of physiological disorder. The method includes the steps of detecting a predetermined physiological state and applying stimulation to one of the cranial nerves during the predetermined physiological state by one or more stimulators of a neuromodulation system.
