Methods for creating a desired tissue effect. An RF electrode is provided that includes a conductive portion. The RF electrode is coupled to a fluid delivery member that delivers a cooling fluidic medium to a back surface of the RF electrode. A dielectric is positioned on a skin surface. The RF electrode is coupled with the dielectric. RF energy is delivered from the RF electrode and the dielectric to the skin surface.

The present invention is an improved therapeutic breast pack that helps enhance the breastfeeding experience. The invention provides the user with moist heat long enough to provide therapy to both breasts individually, before nursing and/or pumping. The present invention is filled with dried lavender buds in addition to the whole flaxseed. The flaxseed provides the moist heat (when warmed in microwave), and the dried lavender buds provides relaxation aromatherapy to the mother and baby. Relaxation can help the mother release milk easier, and can help the baby soothe and latch easier. The product is designed so the middle is open to protect the mother's nipple while providing therapy to her breast. Finally, the present invention has a microwavable, removable and machine washable cover. This allows for easy cleaning and usage. The cover does not need to be removed when warming the product in the microwave.

A breast pump includes a container, a host unit disposed above and communicating with the container, an electric heating cup disposed at a front end of the host unit and communicating with the container, an electric heating element, and a heat insulation. The electric heating cup includes an inner cover and an outer cover. The electric heating element and the heat insulation are disposed between the inner cover and the outer cover. The heat insulation is disposed between the electric heating element and the outer cover. Positive and negative electrodes of the electric heating element are connected to conducting plates disposed in the inner side of the outer cover via connection wires. The conducting plates extend to the outer side of the outer cover and are in electric connection to contact chips disposed at the lower front end of the host unit.

The breast-lifting and cooling accessory is a therapeutic garment. The breast-lifting and cooling accessory is configured for use with a woman. The woman is further defined with a left breast, a right breast, an intermammary cleft, and a sternum. The breast-lifting and cooling accessory is a supporting garment that elevates the breasts with or without a brassiere. The breast-lifting and cooling accessory is a self-attaching garment. The breast-lifting and cooling accessory is a thermal structure that can further be used to cool the left breast and the right breast of the woman. The breast-lifting and cooling accessory comprises a left support, a right support, and a sternum structure. The left support and the right support are joined at the sternum structure.

A lactation system is disclosed. Embodiments include at least one extraction mechanism including a compression mechanism and a collection mechanism, and a controller. The compression mechanism can include a plurality of manipulable members, each operably coupled to an actuator and arrangeable circumferentially about a breast of a user such that each member can be actuated to selectively apply pressure to a region of the breast. The collection mechanism can be removably coupleable to the compression mechanism and can comprise a storage compartment to receive and store milk The controller can be operably coupleable to the actuators to cause the members to move according to a movement pattern which can be configured to stimulate the breast to induce the flow of milk from the breast and modulated based on sensor feedback. A wearable garment with an inner structure can be removably coupled to the extraction mechanism. An outer cover can be arrangeable to conceal the extraction mechanism.

A breast cup system for improving breast health and anaerobic cell apoptosis includes a breast cup configured to vascularly isolate a breast from the body thereof via an onset of a tourniquet-like suction (TSO) applied to the breast. The suspension of vascular circulation in the breast enables a hyperthermic isolation therein via retaining indigenous heat or applied external heat. A microcontroller is configured to control the TSO and various thermic devices and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) applied to the breast via the breast cup to create the hyperthermic isolation sufficient to cause apoptosis of anaerobic cells therein. The system further includes a heat transfer detection of anaerobic cell apoptosis based on a ratio of an amount of heat transferred from the breast cup over a period of time through the breast relative to a heat transfer through a healthy breast tissue of a same mass over a same period of time.

The present invention relates to a therapeutic brassiere garment for healing or easing breast pain related to breastfeeding, surgery, menstruation, childbirth and more. The therapeutic brassiere garment features front panels with cups for covering and supporting breasts. Each front panel includes a pocket for holding a therapeutic pad. The therapeutic pad can be put in a microwave for heating and/or in a refrigerator/freezer for cooling and can then be accommodated in the pockets of the garment for providing hot and/or cold therapy. The garment comes in different sizes and styles available for pain relief due to any type of condition. Each pocket includes three sewn sides and an opening for preventing the therapeutic pad from slipping into inappropriate or uncomfortable positions while wearing the brassiere garment.

Provided herein are systems and methods for maintaining breast or udder health. The systems include a first container comprising a top and a bottom, one or more cups attached to the top of the container and a first temperature-controlling element for providing vapor from the container to a breast or udder via the cup.

A skin care device includes a receptacle that includes an outlet port and defines a chamber that extends from the outlet port to a sump, which is defined by an impermeable portion of the receptacle, and is disposed for receiving one end of a tube inserted through the outlet port. Wicking material is received over a permeable portion of the receptacle for location over a particular region of the skin. When a vacuum is applied at the sump, the particular region is cooled by evaporative cooling when the particular region is moist. The device includes at least one vent that is so disposed as to promote air flow and to prevent a vacuum from occurring at a portion of the skin adjacent where the wicking material is located while the vacuum is applied. The device can be used for wound care and to dispose wicking material within a skin fold,

An air activated therapeutic heating pad for breast is shown and described herein. The heating pad may include a plurality of pad members. Each of the plurality of pad members may include a facestock layer, a first pressure sensitive adhesive, a second pressure sensitive adhesive, and a liner layer. Each of the plurality of pad members may be capable of being selectably activated and the each of the plurality of pad members may comprise a heat-generating composition generating a heat to a temperature. The plurality of pad members may form a generally U-shape capable of fitting within a cup of a bra.
