Device and method for unattended treatment of a patient
An unattended approach can increase the reproducibility and safety of the treatment as the chance of over/under treating of a certain area is significantly decreased. On the other hand, unattended treatment of uneven or rugged areas can be challenging in terms of maintaining proper distance or contact with the treated tissue, mostly on areas which tend to differ from patient to patient (e.g. facial area). Delivering energy via a system of active elements embedded in a flexible pad adhesively attached to the skin offers a possible solution. The unattended approach may include delivering of multiple energies to enhance a visual appearance.
Polymers, thermochromic agents, and/or hydrogel compositions and apparatus, including products embodying the same, and methods and processes for making same
Polymers, hydrogels, and thermochromic agents, including products embodying them, methods of using them, and processes for making them. In certain embodiments, temperature therapy packs which utilize thermochromic agents integrated into solid, semi-solid, or liquid hydrogels. In preferred (but optional) embodiments, the thermochromic agents are integrated into the composition used as the temperature exchange material of the therapy pack. In certain other embodiments, methods of using the thermochromic integrated temperature exchange materials, or processes for manufacturing such thermochromic integrated temperature exchange materials and/or methods or processes for manufacturing or using thermal packs embodying such materials. In certain particularly preferred embodiments, novel polymer compositions and/or processes for making polymers, which improve product durability or longevity and/or which improve use cycles or usage times.
MASK APPARATUS FOR SKIN BEAUTY AND MASK APPARATUS FOR SKIN BEAUTY WITH COMPLEX LAYER INCLUDING GOLD AND SILVER
Disclosed herein is a mask apparatus for skin beauty capable of improving skin health. The mask apparatus according to the present invention comprises a face mask, a mask pad placed on the mask pad and providing skin beauty effect on a face of a user using heat and far-infrared rays, and a control unit providing currents to the mask pad and emitting heat and far-infrared rays toward the face of the user.
HEATING DEVICE
A heating device is provided comprising: a wearable layer conformable to a part of a user's body; a heat source attached to the wearable layer for applying heat to a region of a user's body; a blood flow sensor attached to the wearable layer configured to detect a parameter indicative of blood flow in or adjacent to the region of the user's body and generate a signal indicative thereof; and one or both of: (i) a processor in electrical communication with the blood flow sensor for determining the blood flow in or adjacent to the region of the user's body based upon the signal; or (ii) a transmitter for transmitting the signal to a remote device.
Systems and Methods for Providing a Cooling Compression Apparatus for Post-Surgery Recovery
The present invention includes a garment with an attached inflatable bladder that is designed to be adjacent to the patient's breasts during use for post-surgery recovery. The inflatable bladder has an inlet tube and an outlet tube that connects to a pumping apparatus to supply cold fluid to the inflatable bladder for cooling therapy. The inflatable bladder may include a tortuous water passageway through a first breast section, a second breast section, and a sternum section such that the cool water continues to be recycled through the inflatable bladder without sitting and becoming warm. The garment includes a set of adjustable shoulder straps and a set of adjustable chest straps, which enable the patient to adjust the tightness of the breast cooling and compression apparatus without raising her arms above her head. The present invention also includes a face mask with an inflatable bladder that has an inlet and outlet tube that connects to a pumping apparatus to supply cooling therapy. The inflatable bladder of the face mask includes a tortuous water passageway to recycle the cold water.

Polymers, hydrogels, and thermochromic agents, including products embodying them, methods of using them, and processes for making them. In certain embodiments, temperature therapy packs which utilize thermochromic agents integrated into solid, semi-solid, or liquid hydrogels. In preferred (but optional) embodiments, the thermochromic agents are integrated into the composition used as the temperature exchange material of the therapy pack. In certain other embodiments, methods of using the thermochromic integrated temperature exchange materials, or processes for manufacturing such thermochromic integrated temperature exchange materials and/or methods or processes for manufacturing or using thermal packs embodying such materials. In certain particularly preferred embodiments, novel polymer compositions and/or processes for making polymers, which improve product durability or longevity and/or which improve use cycles or usage times.
Weighted sleep mask
A sleep mask is created comprising a sleep mask cover that can accommodate a weighted mask component and a thermal mask component. The sleep mask cover may include a fastening mechanism at the opening which may be removably engaged or disengaged to disable or enable, respectively, access to the opening for insertion of the weighted mask component and the thermal mask component. The weighted mask component may include a set of eye panels that are devoid of weight material to prevent unwanted pressure on a human user's eyes when the sleep mask is worn around the head of a human user. Further, the weighted mask component may include a pocket for insertion of the thermal mask component.
DEVICES CONFIGURED TO MONITOR BIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS, AND TO PROVIDE TREATMENT, AT AN ABREU BRAIN THERMAL TUNNEL
Devices for therapeutic interaction with an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) terminus. Such devices provide heat to or remove heat from the ABTT terminus, and may also provide heat to or remove heat from veins connected to the ABTT. Therapeutic devices for engaging with the ABTT terminus benefit from diagnostics obtained at the ABTT terminus, or from other locations on the body.
Devices configured to provide treatment at an abreu brain thermal tunnel
Provided are devices for therapeutic interaction with an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) terminus. Such devices are configured to provide one or more drugs to an ABTT terminus, and may provide heat to or remove heat from the ABTT terminus while providing the one or more drugs.
