Injection analgesia system
An injection analgesia system advantageously numbs a patient's skin around an injection site. An injection window guides a caregiver's injection placement to a relatively small area while allowing standard injection procedures to be followed, such as stretching the skin and puncturing the site with a jabbing motion. The injection analgesia system has a needle shield and an analgesia, which are layered together and applied to a skin surface. A needle shield window and a analgesia window align to form the injection window. Advantageously, the needle shield may fold and/or wrap around the injection needle for sharp object protection during and after needle disposal.

Systems and methods for wearable injection guides are described, which include: acquiring one or more digital images of a body region of an individual with at least one image capture device; creating a digitally rendered model of a wearable injection guide from the one or more digital images of the body region of the individual; adding one or more digitally rendered fiducials indicative of at least one treatment parameter to the digitally rendered model of the wearable injection guide; and forming the wearable injection guide from the digitally rendered model of the wearable injection guide, the formed wearable injection guide including one or more fiducials corresponding to the one or more digitally rendered fiducials on the digitally rendered model of the wearable injection guide.
APPLICATOR FOR CRYOANESTHESIA AND ANALGESIA
A handheld cryoanesthesia or analgesia device for cooling a target area on cutaneous membranes, mucous membranes, and tissue of the mucocutaneous zone having an elongated body and a thermoelectric cooling system disposed within the elongated body. The thermoelectric cooling system is configured to physically contact and thermally couple the target area of the cutaneous membranes, mucous membranes, and tissue of the mucocutaneous zone to induce cryoanesthesia or analgesia. The thermoelectric cooling system includes a thermally-conductive cold tip, a thermally-conductive cooling power concentrator thermally coupled to the cold tip, at least one Peltier unit module thermally coupled to the cooling power concentrator, a heatsink thermally coupled to at least one Peltier unit module, a power source, at least one thermal sensor, and a controller operably outputting a control signal to the Peltier unit module to maintain a predetermined temperature.
VENOUS ELECTRICAL STIMULATION APPARATUS AND METHODS AND USES THEREOF
An electrical venous stimulation apparatus comprising an electrical signal generator, the signal generator configured to generate a specified electrical output signal. The apparatus also includes a plurality of electrodes in electrical communication with the signal generator and configured to be placed in electrical communication with a subject. The electrical output signal sent to the subject includes an output voltage, electrical current, and waveform that changes with time in a preprogrammed repeating cycle. The output voltage, electrical current, and waveform are configured to elicit a physiological response that stimulates a plurality of peripheral nerves in the subject, activates a venous muscle pump mechanism in one or more limbs of the subject, and non-invasively alter the physiology of target vein(s), wherein the target vein(s) is caused to distend from under the surface of the subject's skin.
ENHANCED INFUSION-SITE PAIN-REDUCTION FOR DRUG-DELIVERY DEVICES
The present invention provides an infusion-patch comprising; a cannula; a base; at least one adhesive region in said base suitable for skin attachment; at least one skin-access area within said base; and at least one conduit in fluid connection with said at least one skin access area, wherein said at least one conduit in fluid connection with said at least one skin access area facilitates the transfer of an anesthetic substance within at least a first anesthetic-reservoir which may be removably attached and in fluid connection with said at least one contact area, promoting delivery of said anesthetic substance to said at least one skin-access areas, and wherein said anesthetic substance delivered to said skin-access areas may be at least partially replenished without removing said infusion-patch. Embodiments of the present invention include methods of administering a drug using the infusion-patch.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR INCREASED BLOOD FLOW, HEALING, AND PAIN CONTROL
A device comprising a casing; at least one vibratory source; at least one power source; at least one switch to actuate the vibratory source; electrical communication between the vibratory source, the power source, and the switch; and an optional thermal element for modulating the temperature of a contacted area of a surface. Also disclosed herein are methods for using the disclosed device.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING AN ANESTHETIC AND BACTERICIDE
A method and an apparatus for applying an anesthetic includes a receptacle having an upper end, a substantially hollow interior, a lower end having a tube or nozzle extending therefrom, and an attachment for attaching to the barrel of a syringe or vice versa. The receptacle receives a container or canister containing an endothermic gas or vapor(propellant) that rapidly absorbs heat when released to the atmosphere. A depressible actuating member or trigger propels the gas or vapor through an outlet nozzle that is oriented to project a stream of gas or vapor along a delivery axis that intersects a delivery axis of the needle, therefore, the gas or vapor can be successively delivered to an injection site with minimal repositioning of the housing.
DISPENSER
The present disclosure relates to a dispenser. Specifically, the dispenser comprises a housing and a stop member fixedly positioned in the housing configured to receive at least a portion of a container and an actuator engagable by a user, whereby contents of the container are released.
Skin treatment device using radiofrequency and medication and including tightening member
A skin treatment device using both a radiofrequency and medication and including tightening members, includes a skin expansion module configured to stretch a region of the skin into which first needles are inserted to be tightened, the skin expansion module including a guide body protruding outward from a lower end of a handpiece main body and a pair of tightening members hinge-coupled to hinge shafts provided on a left side and a right side of the guide body to be rotatable, wherein lower ends of the pair of tightening members are spread outward while pressurizing the skin in contact with the skin when the handpiece main body is moved downward.
AUTOMATIC ADMINISTRATION INSTRUMENT FOR MEDICAL USE
An automatic administration instrument includes a syringe and a partition wall in the syringe which partitions the syringe into different rooms for respectively holding plural kinds of drug solutions or a drug and a drug solution. A partition-wall driver displaces the partition wall and an injection needle is connected to the syringe. A body cap attached to the administration instrument body so as to cover the injection needle. The syringe, the partition wall, and the body cap are configured such that displacing the partition wall dissolves or mixes the drug solutions or the drug and the drug solution in a state that the injection needle is covered by the body cap.
