10925794 · 2021-02-23 ·

A stationary massage device, system and corresponding methods are used for self-administrated or assisted soft tissue strain release (including trigger point therapy, strain-and-counterstrain therapy and neuromuscular release). The massage device comprises a body, wherein the body may include branches, each having flat surfaces, edges, ridges or corners. The surfaces, edges and ridges may be pushed along the myofilament direction of the soft tissues to produce pressing, rubbing, stretching and pulling actions on the soft tissues as stripping massages. The system can be configured to form different geometric shapes, and made of different materials of different firmness. The system can be further configured to perform unheated, or heated massages; and cooling treatments. In addition to being used alone, the system can be mounted on a piece of wall, a standing frame, furniture or a garment.

Universal Wrap for Securing a Thermal Pack
20210045914 · 2021-02-18 ·

A system and method for providing a universal wrap that can apply a thermal pack to many different regions of a patient's body. The universal wrap is provided in a standardized form.

APPARATUS FOR HANDS FREE APPLICATION OF COMPRESSION TO A WOUND SITE
20210052430 · 2021-02-25 ·

An adjustable hands-free compression device for application of a treatment to a locus of a wound. The compression device is capable of exerting compression on specific locations post-surgery after an injury or any trauma that requires compression to a specific point or area of the body to secure placement of therapeutic media such as an ice pack or post-surgical site or injury. The compression device has a body engagement band for bilateral adjustment engagement of a compression assembly track having independent adjustable compression engagement elements against the treatment device. As such, the structure will conform to the area of the body to which it is secured and allow for easy adjustment of the compression of the targeted location of the site and the amount of compression required to achieve the best outcome.

Electronically regulated temperature compression brace
10912672 · 2021-02-09 ·

The electronically regulated temperature compression device is a brace that applies pressure to an appendage. The electronically regulated temperature compression device applies heat therapy and cooling therapy to the appendage. The temperature of the selected therapy is electronically regulated and controlled. The electronically regulated temperature compression device uses a refrigerant-based heat exchange mechanism during the therapy process. The electronically regulated temperature compression device comprises a composite textile, plurality of fasteners, and a controller. The plurality of fasteners attaches the composite textile to the appendage of the patient. The plurality of fasteners controls the pressure applied by the composite textile to the appendage. The composite textile is a temperature controlled textile used to generate a heat exchange between the electronically regulated temperature compression device and the appendage. The controller manages the temperature and flow of the refrigerant during the therapy process.

HEAD WRAP
20210052419 · 2021-02-25 ·

The subject matter of the invention relates to therapy wraps for the application of compression and thermal therapy to a patient by fluid pumped through the wrap. The wraps are formed of at least two layers of material which are sealed together to form at least one cavity between them. At least two layers of the wrap are sealed together using a plurality of different seal patterns. The unique shape of the wrap and placement of the seals provides a wrap that may be folded to fit a patient's head and circulate fluid in a manner to compress the wrap against the wearer's head, particularly in areas where hair growth is desired while avoiding the application of therapy to other areas of the head, particularly the forehead and ears.

Garment structure having adjustment mechanism for abutting at least one pad unit firmly against skin to provide at least one of electrotherapy and heat therapy
11849778 · 2023-12-26 ·

A garment structure having an adjustment mechanism for abutting at least one pad unit against a human body includes a garment body, at least one adjustment belt, and at least one pad unit being an electrode pad unit, a heating pad unit, or an electrode pad unit with a heating unit. The adjustment belt has one end connected to the garment body, and another end fixed to an outer surface of the garment body. When the adjustment belt is pulled tight, the garment body is dragged to move toward the skin. The pad unit is disposed on the garment body, and moves, along with a portion of the garment body being dragged, to abut against the skin. A user wearing the garment structure can pull and secure the adjustment belt to enable the pad unit to easily and quickly abut against the skin to proceed with electrotherapy and/or heat therapy.
