Reduced-pressure, compression systems and apparatuses for use on a curved body part
A system for providing a force to a desired area on a curved body part of a person includes a dressing assembly shaped and configured to be placed on the desired area of the person, a releaseable circumferential member surrounding the curved body part that holds the dressing assembly against the desired area, a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly and the person's skin, and a reduced-pressure subsystem for providing a reduced pressure to the dressing assembly. When reduced pressure is supplied, the system generates the force against the desired area on the curved body part.
External and internal expansion vibration lipofilling systems and methods
External and internal expansion vibration lipofilling, methods for shaping the skin of a patient may include modifying the body surface of a patient by forming a tissue injection space in the skin of the patient by externally applying negative pressure to the skin of the patient and simultaneously injecting, adipose cells into the tissue injection space. External and internal expansion vibration lipofilling systems for shaping the skin of a patient are also disclosed.
Anesthetic breast pad
An anesthetic breast pad includes a polyester panel having a front surface, a rear surface, a continuous peripheral edge and a central aperture for accommodating a wearer's breast nipple. A sectoral notch extending from the peripheral edge to the central aperture allows the aperture and the panel to expand, contract and contort to comfortably adapt to the wearer. On the rear surface of the panel, along the entire peripheral edge, is an adhesive strip for tenuously securing the pad to the wearer. Within the boundary formed by the continuous adhesive strip is a thin sheet pretreated with a topical anesthetic. Accordingly, prior to surgery, a patient adhesively secures the pad to the breast to conveniently apply the anesthetic to the underlying area.
CARRYING DEVICE FOR BREAST MILK PUMP
An illustrated view of an exemplary carrying device for transportation and use to express breast milk is presented. The exemplary carrying device is useful for providing an easy method to transport a breast milk pump while keeping both hands free to attend to the child or other events. The carrying device is preferably made of a nylon cloth material. The shape of the carrying device is preferably an oblong shape. The carrying device is preferably a pouch. The carrying device has a strap for fitting over the shoulder and the strap is adjustable in length. Further, by using the strap the person's hands are free and can be used for other activities.
NIPPLE AREOLA COMPLEX STENCIL
Embodiments of the invention include a breast nipple areola complex tattoo stencil comprising first, second and third stencil sections. The first stencil section defines an areola area. The second stencil section defines a nipple area and tubercle areas. One or more registration elements on the first and/or second stencil sections enable registration of the second stencil section to the first stencil section. The third stencil section defines one or both of a nipple shading area and a nipple highlight area. One or more registration elements on the third and/or second stencil sections enable registration of the third stencil section to the second stencil section.
INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION
A method of using a bioelectric stimulator for delivering an electrical signal to a subject's tissue, wherein the bioelectric stimulator utilizes the electrical signal to precisely control protein expression and/or release in the tissue on demand so as to increase milk production in a subject, the method including: delivering selected electrical signals to the subject so as to precisely control protein expressions and/or release to increase milk production in the subject.
Nipple areola complex stencil
Embodiments of the invention include a breast nipple areola complex tattoo stencil comprising first, second and third stencil sections. The first stencil section defines an areola area. The second stencil section defines a nipple area and tubercle areas. One or more registration elements on the first and/or second stencil sections enable registration of the second stencil section to the first stencil section. The third stencil section defines one or both of a nipple shading area and a nipple highlight area. One or more registration elements on the third and/or second stencil sections enable registration of the third stencil section to the second stencil section.
Breast Pumping System
A breast pumping assembly for a forward-leaning chair is provided. The assembly allows for a breast pumping mother to be optimally positioned and comfortable while pumping breast milk, leading to quicker and more effective pumping. The breast pumping assembly and the chair are adjustable to adapt for different sized mothers and changing body size and shape as pumping progresses.
COMPOSITIONS, DEVICES AND KITS FOR SELECTIVE INTERNAL RADIATION THERAPY
Systems, kits and methods for preparing an injection system and/or treating target lesions with a selective internal radiation therapy which includes a double-barrel syringe loaded with a two-component tissue glue and radioisotope loaded microspheres. The microspheres are loaded into the syringe based on the size of the target location and are administered with a needle or dual-lumen catheter. Dosing regimens for treating breast cancer lesions or surgical beds up to 130 mm in diameter and hepatocellular carcinoma lesions up to 50 mm are included.
NEGATIVE-PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY DRESSING WITH ZONE OF AMBIENT PRESSURE
Disclosed embodiments may relate to dressings configured to provide negative-pressure wound therapy to a tissue site, while simultaneously shielding a portion of the tissue site from the negative pressure. For example, dressing assembly embodiments may comprise an outer dressing configured for applying negative-pressure wound therapy to a tissue site, and an underlying isolation patch configured for use under the outer dressing. The isolation patch may be configured to seal the portion of the tissue site so that it does not experience the negative pressure. Additionally disclosed are other apparatus, dressings, systems, and methods.
