COMPRESSION GARMENT SYSTEM
Compression garments and methods may include a head garment configured to be positioned around both sides of a head of a body from a posterior of the head to an anterior of the head and a torso garment. Such garment portions may include one or more controllable pressure applying regions to move lymph from the head downward to the torso.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR NIPPLE AND BREAST FORMATION
Apparatus and methods for nipple and breast formation are described where devices precondition or expand a target nipple tissue to reduce the pressure exerted by the skin on an eventual implant. Generally, the apparatus comprises a mold having a contact surface which is cured in conformance with a breast upon which the mold is positionable, the contact surface having an adhesive for securement upon the breast, and the mold defining a cavity along the contact surface which conforms to a size of a nipple to be formed upon the breast and where the cavity further comprises the adhesive for securement to the nipple. A breast enlargement device comprises a cup larger than the target breast and further defines an inner surface which adheres to the breast when contacted.
SOFT-TISSUE TREATMENT WITH NEGATIVE PRESSURE
An apparatus for promoting circulation through a subcutaneous lymph vascular network may comprise a first manifold layer, a second manifold layer coupled to the first manifold layer, and a cover layer coupled to the second manifold layer. The first manifold may have a first stiffness, and the second manifold may have a second stiffness greater than the first stiffness. In some embodiments, the apparatus may additionally have a fluid interface configured to fluidly couple at least one of the first manifold layer and the second manifold layer to a fluid conductor through the cover layer. The fluid conductor may be coupled to or configured to be coupled to a source of negative pressure.
Massage device for breasts
A breast massage device includes a main body; a drive unit installed within the main body; and a massage disk mounted on the main body and coupled with the drive unit so as to be driven rotatably thereby. The massage disk has a central axis, a concave surface for covering a breast, and a periphery confining the concave surface, wherein the periphery has a highest point and a lowest point located at two opposite sides of the central axis such that a portion of the concave surface extending from the highest point toward the central axis is longer in curved distance than another portion of the concave surface extending from the lowest point to the central axis. A plurality of massage elements are mounted rotatably on the concave surface such that the massage elements are rotatable relative to the concave surface when the drive unit is activated.
Pneumatic circulatory enhancer for diabetic leg therapy
A pneumatic circulatory enhancer to enhance a blood flow of a leg of a patient that includes a chamber that surrounds the leg and is filled with gas having a negative, a zero-point, or a pressure, a pneumatic gas pump having a cylinder and a piston, the piston moving in the cylinder by an electrical motor, a plurality of ECG electrodes that are connected to body parts of the patient, a pressure sensor that is connected to the chamber and measures a pressure of the gas inside the chamber, a controller that receives the ECG signals from the plurality of ECG electrodes and controls the electrical motor based on the received ECG signals to pump-in or pump-out the gas from the chamber by moving the piston inside the chamber such that the zero-point pressure is an atmospheric pressure of a location that the pneumatic circulatory enhancer is operated.
MASSAGING LACTATION ASSISTIVE DEVICE
Disclosed are lactation assistive devices. The lactation assistive device may include a stimulation component and a controller. The stimulation component may include electrical components or mechanical components to stimulate a breast. The stimulation component may be sized to fit within a garment worn about the breast and may define an opening to be located proximate a nipple of the breast when the garment is worn. The controller may be configured to control stimulation of the breast by the stimulation component.
Apparatus and methods for nipple and breast formation
Apparatus and methods for nipple and breast formation are described where devices precondition or expand a target nipple tissue to reduce the pressure exerted by the skin on an eventual implant. Generally, the apparatus comprises a mold having a contact surface which is curved in conformance with a breast upon which the mold is positionable, the contact surface having an adhesive for securement upon the breast, and the mold defining a cavity along the contact surface which conforms to a size of a nipple to be formed upon the breast and where the cavity further comprises the adhesive for securement to the nipple. A breast enlargement device comprises a cup larger than the target breast and further defines an inner surface which adheres to the breast when contacted.
ADJUSTABLE COMPRESSION GARMENT
Compression garments may include mitts and tightening apparatus to don, or put on, such compression garments. The mitts may be configured to receive a user's hand such that the user can move one or more portions of the garments using the mitts. The tightening apparatus may allow a user to selectively tighten or loosen the garments about the user's body portions. Once donned, the compression garments may apply pressure to one or more regions of the user's body such as, e.g., arm regions, shoulder regions, torso regions, and neck regions.
BREAST MASSAGER
Disclosed is a breast massager, including: a housing having a surface, a cold compress component, at least one massage component, and a control module; a cold compress area is provided on the surface of the housing; the cold compress component is provided in the housing and configured to provide cooling to the cold compress area; the at least one massage component is provided in the housing and configured to massage breasts; and the control module is provided in the housing and electrically connected to the cold compress component and the massage component respectively.
WEARABLE SOAKING PHYSIOTHERAPEUTIC DEVICE WITH INFLATABLE SEAL
A physiotherapeutic device comprises a skin soaker for soaking a portion of the user's skin with a liquid when the device is attached to the user. The soaker comprises a tub for receiving the liquid and a resilient seal at a brim of the tub for sealing engagement with the skin to prevent leak of the liquid. The device also has an electrical stimulator comprising a first electrode and a second electrode for contacting the skin to stimulate tissues under the soaked portion of the skin. The soaked portion of the skin extends between the electrodes and the electrodes are isolated from the liquid.
