A care instrument arranges a storage container and a peristaltic pump, with the storage container accommodating the care product, the peristaltic pump being configured to draw the care product from the storage container and deliver the care product to a surface of a housing. In this way, a user can apply care products while using the care instrument. By controlling the peristaltic pump by the control component, the care product is delivered to the surface of the housing in a timed and quantitative manner for precise and accurate delivery of the care product. The massaging component and the peristaltic pump can operate independently. When only the massaging component works independently, the care instrument functions in massaging, and when the massaging component and the peristaltic pump work together, the care product delivered to the surface of the housing may be further uniformly dispersed by the massaging component.

Disclosed is a high frequency treatment handpiece having roller electrodes. The handpiece includes: a handpiece casing part; and a plurality of roller electrode members rotatably positioned on a lower surface of the handpiece casing part and applying a high frequency by being brought into contact with the skin. The handpiece prevents burning when the continuous rubbing of a treated area is performed during a treatment, allows a practitioner to conveniently perform the treatment, and allows a person being treated to comfortably receive the treatment with minimum pain. Ball electrodes and roller electrodes can be selectively used, and a roller fixed mode, which limits the rotation of the roller electrodes, can also be selectively used, and thus various massage effects can be selectively provided in accordance with the condition of a patient's skin, and the effect of the high frequency treatment can be maximized by means of the various massage effects.

A device and a method for creating and/or maintaining an obstruction free upper respiratory passages. The device is configured to fit under the chin of a subject adjacent to the subject's neck at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The device is capable of exerting negative pressure on the surface of a subject's neck, displacing the soft tissue forward and enlarging the airway.

A wearable temperature control assembly includes a temperature control module comprising a contact and a thermal element configured to heat or cool the contact. The assembly also includes a primary strap configured to receive the temperature control module and secure the contact against a subject. The assembly also includes a secondary strap configured to be connected to the primary strap. The secondary strap is configured to provide adjustment of a pressure between the contact and the subject when the primary strap secures the contact to the subject.

A tissue stimulation device comprising: a source; a control unit; a decoupled output stage circuit connected to the source and the control unit; a signal generator connected to the input of the decoupled output stage circuit and the control unit; an analog demultiplexer connected to the output stage circuit decoupled by a PE signal and an out signal, the analog demultiplexer is connected to the control unit, and a transducer array is connected to the output of the analog demultiplexer; wherein the control unit selects the output of the analog demultiplexer that allows switching of the PE and out signals to activate the transducers in the transducer array to stimulate tissue.

The invention relates to a thermal skin treatment device comprising a skin contact component with a skin contact surface; a thermal energy component in thermal contact with the skin contact component; a temperature control circuit electrically connected to the thermal energy component and comprising a user interface; and an energy source electrically connected to said thermal energy component for energy supply. Said temperature control circuit is adapted to control an amount of energy supplied from said energy source to said thermal energy component such that a first predetermined temperature is maintained at the skin contact surface for a first duration, or a second predetermined temperature is maintained at the skin contact surface for a second duration, wherein said first predetermined temperature is in a range of 40° C.+/−2° C., and wherein said second predetermined temperature is in a range of 19° C.+/−2° C. The temperature control circuit is adapted to maintain for a predetermined duration, during operation, only said first predetermined temperature or said second predetermined temperature at the skin contact surface. The invention further relates to a method for non-therapeutic treatment of a human eye region by means of a thermal skin treatment device according to the invention.

A human-interface device and a guiding apparatus for a visually impaired user including such human-interface device. The human-interface device includes a tactile module arranged to provide a set of haptic signals to a user, wherein the tactile module has a plurality of tactile units each arranged to provide at least a first haptic signal and operable to cooperate with one or more of other tactile units to provide different haptic signals.

The present invention generally relates to improved medical devices, systems, and methods, with exemplary embodiments providing improved cooling treatment probes and cooling treatment methods and systems. In some embodiments, freezing of the skin may be desirable to effect the hypopigmentation of the skin of the patient. Generally, embodiments may limit supercooling of the skin of the patient during a cooling treatment. Additionally, embodiments may limit adverse side effects such as hyperpigmentation. It has been found that the freezing behavior (frequency and time to freeze) can be modified by adjusting the thermal parameters of the cooling applicator. Accordingly, in some aspects of the invention, a method of treating the skin may be provided where the thermal parameters of the cooling applicator are adjusted during treatment.

A skin desensitizing device for temporarily numbing and/or cooling a surface of a subject's skin. The skin desensitizing device comprises a controller, a skin-bracing interface, and at least one overloading-neural source, which includes (i) a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS)-like device capable of electrically stimulating superficial skin neurons of the subject's skin into a state of fibrillation, (ii) a thermoelectric device capable of cooling the subject's skin to approximately 30° F. to 38° F., and (iii) a vibration device capable of vibrating the subject's skin to overload the skin's vibration sensors.

A percussive pulsing therapy device configured for delivering pulsating or intermittent airflow to a patient device, such as a patient vest. The percussive pulsed air device may have an airflow generator for controlling amplitude of the percussive pulsed air and a pulse frequency control module for controlling frequency of the percussive pulsed air. In some embodiments, the pulse frequency control module may have a rotatable fan blade, such as a circular fan blade having one or more cutout portions. In some embodiments, the rotating fan blade may have one or more channels configured to redirect percussive pulsed air. Moreover, a percussive pulsed air device of the present disclosure may have a dampening element flowably coupled to an inlet of the pulse frequency control module. In some embodiments, at least one inlets of the pulse frequency control module may be arranged on a different airflow plane than one or more outlets.
