A handheld acoustic shock wave or pressure pulse applicator device has a body structure and an applicator head. The body structure has a proximal end and a distal end with a longitudinal axis extending between the ends. The applicator head is at the distal end. the head emits pressure pulses or shock waves at an inclined angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the body structure. The applicator head has a balloon or lens or membrane through which the emitted pressure pulses or shock waves pass. The lens or membrane is configured to be coupled directly or indirectly to an exposed soft tissue surface of a palate inside a patient's mouth to direct emitted pressure pulses or shock waves to the brain. The applicator device can be configured with the inclined obtuse angle fixed between 150 degrees and 90 degrees or can be adjustable between 180 degrees and 90 degrees.

An apparatus for applying periodic pressure to the limb of a patient to prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The apparatus has a cuff that has a bladder. A housing that is attached to the cuff. A pump for inflating the bladder to a maximum cuff pressure, the maximum cuff pressure being 55 mmHg, and the pump is housed within the housing. A plurality of pressure application modes each of which control operation of the pump and wherein each pressure application mode is progressively applied in a manner that will increase a patient's blood flow. A pressure application mode selector is disposed on the housing. A microprocessor that is equipped with a program that controls the pump and the plurality of pressure application modes. The microprocessor is housed within the housing and it is connected to a transceiver. And, a remote that connects to the transceiver.

A kit is disclosed for facilitating the supply and return of a system for stimulating venous and arterial circulation in a patient to prevent deep vein thrombosis, which includes a left and right set of inflatable garment sleeves that are disposable, a pair a rechargeable battery powered pump assemblies for inflating the sleeves and that are reusable, a power supply adapter for recharging the pump assemblies and that is reusable, and a shipping carton for returning the pump assemblies and adapter to a supplier after the patient is ambulatory and the risks of deep vein thrombosis have ended.

A gas supply connector of the present invention includes a gas supply member and two fasteners, wherein the gas supply member has a main body and multiple tubes; the fastener includes a buckling portion, a pressing portion and a neck portion. The pressing portion has an inner layer body and an outer layer body. The neck portion contracts from two lateral ends toward the center to form a tapered section, and the outer surface of the neck portion is arranged with multiple reinforcing ribs. The present invention through the neck portion reduces the force required for pressing the fastener to deform by the user, and through the reinforcing ribs increases the structural strength of the neck portion to prevent the fastener from breaking; in addition, the inner layer is made of plastic, and outer layer body is made of soft material, so as to improve the comfort of pressing fastener.

A negative pressure massage device with cold feeling mechanism and a massage stick thereof are provided. The massage stick includes a stick body and a refrigeration module. The stick body includes a cover assembly, an end cover connected to the cover assembly, and a temperature transmitting member. The end cover includes a negative pressure connection hole. The temperature transmission member includes a suction port. The stick body further includes an air pipe communicates with the negative pressure connection hole and the suction port. The refrigeration module arranged inside of the stick body. The refrigeration module including a thermoelectric cooling chip and a heat sink. The thermoelectric cooling chip including a cold end and a hot end. The cold end attached to the temperature transmitting member. The hot end thermally contacts with the heat sink.

A multi-axis rotation control ankle brace, wherein the direction and magnitude of force can be controlled around three axes of the ankle joint through an adjustable tensioning apparatus. The device may be applied to address conditions such as chronic ankle instability, foot drop, or osteoarthritis by providing such forces around the joint as an external-muscle tendon system to improve function, reduce pain, or restore mobility of the user. While more are contemplated herein, five preferred embodiments are specifically disclosed in the current application. Three preferred embodiments comprise a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the proximal portion is anchored above the ankle joint and houses, in aspects, the adjustment mechanism. The proximal portion is connected to the distal portion by tensioning or compressive elements, through which forces can be controlled by the user via the adjustment mechanism. In other preferred embodiments, the device is comprised of one continuous mesh, sock or sleeve through which tension can be controlled by the user. In other preferred embodiments, the device is personalized to the user through multiple aspects including user-enabled adjustment of forces around the joint. The device may be customized by 3D printing a device based on a digital scan, and therefore conforms to the user's ankle and foot.

A device for applying air pressure to a portion of a body of a person is provided. The device includes a garment configured to be arranged distally of a joint of the body of the person, wherein the garment comprises a plurality of hollow rings configured for arrangement along a longitudinal axis of the portion of the body of the person, each of the plurality of hollow rings having a skin contacting surface and an air contacting surface, the skin contacting surface including a series of holes for supplying air directly to skin of the portion of the body of the person.

A system and method for vaginal remodeling and treating gynecological disorders. A vaginal remodeling system comprising a flexible, inflatable, vaginal balloon capable of transferring heat and mechanical stress in a controlled manner to restore vaginal function. The proposed method to reactivate the cells in the vaginal tissue using thermal energy and mechanical energy using balloon dilatation and/or pulsing to promote the rejuvenation of the vaginal tissue will be accomplished by the system described in this disclosure.

A gas supply connector of the present invention includes a gas supply member and two fasteners, wherein the gas supply member has a main body and multiple tubes; the fastener includes a buckling portion, a pressing portion and a neck portion. The pressing portion has an inner layer body and an outer layer body.
