An air pump for dispensing air massage therapy to a basin is provided. It may be used and with a disposal liner. The air pump includes a motor, an air generator, a mounting housing member, a gasket or seal, and an air nozzle. The air pump assembly includes the air pump and the air dispenser. The air pump preferably also includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a PCB cover, an LED light, an infrared light, and a contactless fluid sensor. The present invention is also directed to a pump apparatus that includes an air pump as described, a power source, and/or a control apparatus.

A method and devices for stimulating visceral pelvic or somatic nerves or their pathways of a female person suffering from a pelvic condition of nerve dysfunction in which non-electrical, external physical stimulation is applied to the clitoral region of the person.

Devices and method for warm gas therapy is provided. Device comprises a gas warmer assembly to warm a first gas to a temperature in a first temperature range to obtain warm first gas. The device comprises a first delivery unit that can deliver the warm first gas to a main treatment chamber which encloses a sub-treatment chamber to retain heat therein. A second delivery unit can receive a therapeutic gas from a gas supply. The second delivery unit comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion substantially passes through the first delivery unit and therapeutic gas in the first portion is warmed by the warm first gas. The second portion delivers the warm therapeutic gas to a sub-treatment chamber. The sub-treatment chamber encloses a body part of a patient.

The present invention discloses a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) device that is portable, tubeless, and battery-operated, which ensures that the patient will have maximum mobility during recovery. The DVT device provides a pneumatically controlled bladder portion, which is actuated by an electronically controlled air pump, where the pump/bladder combination is enclosed in a pocket of a wrap or cuff during use. All pump, battery, and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case that is permanently attached to the bladder portion. Once the pump/bladder combination is placed in the pocket the wrap or cuff will be sealed. The wraps or cuffs are single use, disposable garments designed to provide an absorbent barrier during use, where the bladder portion and air pump remain clean during use and can be reused by the patient or hospital staff. Tabs or extensions may be used to secure the pump/bladder combination after insertion into the pocket of the wrap or cuff.

Disclosed is a disposable for use with a surface that defines a basin for receiving liquid. The disposable has a pair of surfaces spaced apart from one another by a tubular sidewall. One of the pair of surfaces is positioned, in use, against the basin-defining surface. In use, gas issues through the sidewall in the form of bubbles. The disposable is useful in association with foot spas and the like. A mechanism for puncturing a liner is also disclosed.

The present invention provides an apparatus for delivering a fluid to a subject. The apparatus includes: (a) a vessel fillable with an amount of water through an opening; (b) a cap for covering the opening and configured to store an additive to be released into the water; and (c) a fluid delivery attachment including a body having: (i) a cap engaging portion configured to rupture a portion of the cap in order to release the additive into the water; (ii) a fluid outlet; and, (iii) a passageway extending between the cap engaging portion and the fluid outlet, wherein, the cap engaging portion is engageable with the cap so as to allow fluid to flow between the vessel and the fluid outlet.

Embodiments provide a moldable warming device. The moldable warming device includes a heating disc, a harmonic resonance frequency stimulation vibration generator (RFSVG), a coupling device, a mask, and a sensor array. The mask is configured to hold the heating disc, the RFSVG, and the coupling device for use in parallel utility. The sensor array is configured to determine tuning parameters of a vibration and heating profile of a user's individual eyelid and periorbital three-dimensional anatomy and surface topography. The moldable warming device is configured to provide an entire eyelid surface and periorbital structures with therapeutic warmth and tuned harmonic resonance frequency stimulation vibration to mobilize Meibom lipids and stimulate flow of the mobilized Meibom lipids from the user's Meibomian glands.

A portable compression system for preventing deep vein thrombosis is provided. The portable compression system includes an inflatable apparatus comprising a monitor unit and at least one inflatable air cell. The portable compression system further includes an outer cuff comprising a pocket configured to receive the inflatable apparatus, the outer cuff configured to be wrapped around a portion of a patient's body where prevention of deep vein thrombosis is desired. The portable compression system further includes a disposable sleeve barrier configured to provide a physical barrier between the outer cuff and the portion of the patient's body.

The invention may relate to handheld, tissue manipulation tools (e.g., massage therapy and physical therapy tools) that feature, in particular embodiments, perhaps four or more of the following different components: levered pressure surface (component), massage edge, blade edges, disc edge, pressure knob, finger arc blade edge, stripper, adhesion release blade edge, tendon release blade edge and/or forearm arc blade edge. Alternate articulations include, e.g., a tissue manipulation tool having both edge and edgeless components; and a tool having rounded components and bladed edge components. Various grip surfaces may facilitate comfortable and precisely controlled manipulation of the tool by its user.

Embodiments of the invention provide systems, methods and apparatus for pelvic floor exercise. The invention includes an anchor adapted for insertion into a user's body; a cord coupled to the anchor and adapted to extend external to the user's body when the anchor is inserted internal to the user's body; and a weight system adapted to be removably coupled to the cord. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.
