A chest compression device with a chest compression belt assembly including guards and sensors operable with a control system to control operation of the system depending on detection of proper installation of the guards.

A wraparound portion of compression garments may include a mitt defining a mitt opening. A user may place their hand in the mitt opening of the mitt to assist in donning the compression garments about their body. For example, the wraparound portion of the compression garment may be located in awkward position for a human user to grasp, and the mitt and mitt opening may assist a user in grasping and moving the wraparound portion about their body.

The multi-use stretching and exercising device is comprised of a non-elastic strap, with removable comfort support pad and two affixed hand finger grip mounts. The strap having a left end and right end is affixed at the left end by a hand finger grip mount and at the right end by another hand finger grip mount. The device is capable of being set in motion in response to a force acting upon both opposing hand finger grip mounts while the strap with removable comfort support is in contact with the head, leg, arm or overhead structure.

An automated resuscitation system is provided, which can improve the outcome of patients suffering ventricular fibrillation or the ventricular tachycardia variants of cardiac arrest. This outcome can be achieved by a device that integrates automatic mechanical or pneumatic capability with electrical countershock capability such that the probability of defibrillation or cardioversion with return of spontaneous circulation is increased.

A device and a method of applying vibration on a muscle for improving muscle contraction are disclosed. The device includes a motor. The device includes an adhesive strip. The adhesive strip is a reusable dual-sided adhesive strip. The adhesive strip removably mounts over a muscle or muscle group. The motor causes vibration and transmits the vibration to the muscle through the device and the adhesive strip, causing the user to concentrate on the muscle. The user detaches the device from one muscle or muscle group, and attaches to a different muscle or muscle group. The vibration caused by the motor helps the user to concentrate on the muscle during exercise, assisting with mind-muscle connection, which helps to improve muscle contraction.

A chest compression device with a chest compression belt assembly including guards and sensors operable with a control system to control operation of the system depending on detection of proper installation of the guards.

Provided herein is an inflatable compression vest for performing compression therapy to a subject afflicted with a respiratory related condition, wherein the vest includes at least one column of inflatable bladders, linearly arranged whereby for each three consecutive bladders, a top bladder and a bottom bladder at least partially overlaps with a middle intervening bladder. Further provided are controller device configured to control operation of the compression vest in accordance with the breathing cycle of a subject, systems and methods of using the same.

Embodiments of a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (“CPR”) device are disclosed. A CPR device can include a compression mechanism configured to perform successive CPR compressions on a chest of a patient, the compression mechanism including a support portion configured to be placed underneath a patient, a piston, and a contact surface configured to make contact with the chest at a first orientation with respect to the support portion; and a controller communicatively coupled with the compression mechanism. The controller can be configured to receive at least one input and determine whether the first orientation of the contact surface should be adjusted based on the at least one input. The controller can further, responsive to a determination that the first orientation of the contact surface should be adjusted, cause the contact surface to move so that the contact surface makes contact with the chest at a second orientation with respect to the support portion.

A pain relief device and process or system to aid in the resolution of or otherwise treat pain in a body of a human or animal including at least one layer of PVDF film. An EL platform light therapy device is described which includes a layer of PVDF film and may also include a vibration element as well as at least one noise generator. An advanced modulated multi-mode red light device is also described here having an EL inverter (which can be sound generated), an EL panel (which can be sound generated), a magnetic strip field modulation, a double stick tape field distribution, a PVDF or tri-polymer resonance drive, and a three layer red filter wave generator. Shoe insert uses are also described along with alternative devices with EL tape as another improvement used in various alternatives, which may also include an inverter.

The present invention relates to a cardiopulmonary resuscitation system (1; 2) comprising a chest compression device (11; 12), a support frame (21) of the chest compression device (11; 12) and coupling means (31) of the chest compression device (11; 12) to a patient (200), wherein the chest compression device (11; 12) is pneumatically operated and solidly coupled to the support plate (21) at a side (121) of it support plate (21), and wherein the coupling means (31) comprise a pairs of anchoring devices (131, 231) arranged on opposite ends (321, 421) of the support plate (21) and suitable for anchoring the support plate (21) to the ground (100), wherein the pairs of anchoring devices (131, 231) consist of belts provided with at least an end operatively coupled respectively to one of the opposite ends (321, 421) of the support plate (21), and wherein each of the anchoring devices (131, 231) defines at least a loop allowing an operator to hold them onto the ground (100) by inserting the terminal segment of the upper or lower limbs of the operator within the loops.
