Compression device with wear area
A device for applying compression treatment to a part of a wearer's body has an inner face for being placed adjacent to the part of the wearer's body in use and an outer face opposite the inner face. The device includes a pressure applicator to apply compression to the wearer's body part. First and second fastener elements are mounted on the device. Hook indicia on the outer face of the device generally overlie patches of hook material on the inner face of the device. The hook indicia includes first colored areas and hook-engagement areas include second colored areas. Upon wrapping the device around the wearer's body part and fastening the patches of hook material at the respective hook-engagement areas, each first colored area and corresponding second colored area form a predetermined shape indicating that the device is properly placed on the body part.
SENSOR FOR ABSORBENT ARTICLE
An absorbent structure, including a sensor system, can sense and measure the level of wetness contained within the absorbent structure as well as sense and measure environmental conditions. The sensor system may include passive RFID sensors or tags, RFID readers, antenna, a tuning module, a processing module, a memory module and a wireless communication module. The absorbent structure may further include two or more sensors, with a first sensor placed in a first area most likely to first be exposed to liquid and a second sensor spaced apart from the first sensor in an area likely to be exposed to liquid only after the absorbent structure has become more saturated.
HIGH FREQUENCY CHEST WALL OSCILLATION SYSTEM
A therapy system is operable to deliver at least one respiratory therapy to a patient. For example, therapy system may be operable to deliver any one or more of the following therapies: a high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) therapy, a positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy, a nebulizer therapy, an intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) therapy, a cough assist therapy, a suction therapy, a bronchial dilator therapy, and the like. The therapy system is contained in a housing supported by a mobile stand.
Integrated sensory system
An integrated sensory system includes a therapeutic compression vest. The vest has a first layer, a second layer and a third layer. The first layer is a loop material, said second layer is a closed cell material or polyurethane and the third layer is a soft material. The first layer is coextensive with the second layer. The vest serves as a basis for the integrated sensory system which is designed to meet a broad-range of multi-dimensional therapeutic. The integrated sensory system includes accessories such as a cape, balls, fidgets, etc. all having hook material to enable selective attachment and release of said accessories from the outer loop layer.
INFANT HEALTH MONITOR PATCH WITH MICROPHONE
The system of the preferred embodiments is a young child monitoring device including: at least one microphone designed to be temporarily attached in contact with at least one of the skin and the clothing of a user; a radio transmission circuit wired in electrical communication with the microphone and adapted to transmit a signal from the microphone via radio waves; an electromagnetic induction circuit designed to generate power by induction from radio waves; a temporary attachment including at least one of A) an adhesive patch, B) a clip, C) adhesive tape, D) a patch comprising at least the hooks of a hook and loop fastener and designed to attach at least the microphone to the user; a base station including a radio receiver adapted to receive a signal generated by the radio transmission circuit, wherein the base station is designed to at least one of I) notify a caregiver, II) generate an audio alert, III) generate a visual alert, IV) send an alert to a mobile electronic device associated with a caregiver, V) send an alert to a headset worn by a caregiver and adapted to play audio for the caregiver.

The therapy system is contained in a housing supported by a mobile stand.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SPINAL DISC DECOMPRESSION
A portable spinal decompression device comprised of a top (thoracic) adjustable belt and bottom (lumbar) adjustable belt with a plurality of traction devices attached at set anchor points for applying traction forces to a body to facilitate spinal disc decompression and alleviate pain of users with spinal disorders. The portable device that fits various shapes and body sizes can be operated by a user without additional assistance and can be used while the individual is in numerous positions during his or her daily routine.
PATIENT/INVALID HANDLING SUPPORT
A patient support for supporting a patient includes an inflatable mattress defining a support surface and a pneumatic system for inflating the inflatable mattress. The pneumatic system includes a pressurized reservoir for holding pressurized air and selectively releases pressurized air from the reservoir to the mattress.
Multilayered Thermally-insulating Garment with Ventilating Inserts
A multilayered thermally-insulating garment with ventilating inserts uses a thermally-insulative unitard, multiple venting inserts, and a chest opening to encourage perspiration of a user while exercising. The thermally-insulative unitard is a garment that is designed to be worn by a user and to promote perspiration. To accomplish this, the thermally-insulative unitard makes use of a multilayered construction that includes an interior layer, an intermediate layer, and an exterior layer. This construction enables the thermally-insulative unitard to trap the user's body heat, prevent sweat penetration, and remain flexible. The venting inserts are sections of a flexible and air-permeable material that are integrated into various portions of the thermally-insulative unitard. These sections are worn over the user's armpits, crotch, and buttock to enable air to flow past these portions of the user's body; thus, preventing odors. The chest opening is a cutout that exposes the user's chest through the thermally-insulative unitard.
Erectile Dysfunction Device
A reusable, cloak wearable over the male member, capable of enhancing or maintaining the blood flow that helps establish and maintain an erection. It has a linear, slideable tubular sleeve that resides atop of a base sheath that encapsulates the penile shaft and glans penis. The sheath has a washable inner, compressible flesh-like lining that adds girth and conforms to the dimensions of the user. The tip of the glans fits securely into the distal end of an extending tip. During coitus, the linear motion of the tubular sleeve coupled with its physical surface configuration adds additional stimulation to drive additional blood into the penis. The cloak is held in place by a testicular lasso that encircles the back side of the scrotal sac to aid in constraining the blood engorgement of the male member's two corpora cavernosa and single corpus spongiosum.
