Medical Therapeutic Device
The present disclosure relates to the field of medicine and discloses a medical therapeutic device for monitoring and treating medical condition of patients. The device comprises an input unit, a plurality of sensors, a control unit, a waveform generator unit, and a coupling means. The input unit receives at least one input from a user. The sensors monitor a plurality of predetermined parameters associated with the health of a patient generate detection signals based on the monitored parameters. The control unit selects a program based on the input and the detection signals. The waveform generator unit generates a therapeutic signal of pre-determined values of at least one of voltage, current, and frequency based on the selected program for facilitating treatment of medical condition corresponding to the selected program.
Pessary system and method for pelvic floor ligament support
A pessary system for providing pelvic floor support for USL and other ligaments. The pessary has an elongated probe with independently inflatable balloons each located substantially the same distance from the insertion end of the probe and which inflate into separate radial sectors. The probe can be inserted into a vaginal cavity and the balloons inflated provide mechanical support to the USLs. Independent inflation of each balloon allows the mechanical USL support provided to be varied on left and right sides to compensate for differences in the degree of degradation and positioning of the USL ligaments on either side.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ASSISTING BREATHING
The present invention provides, among other things, apparatus and methods of use for treating a subject in need of assistance with breathing. In some embodiments the subject suffers from airflow obstruction. In some embodiments, the subject suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
WEARABLE APPARATUS
A wearable apparatus capable of altering a physiological parameter such as the heart rate of a user to provide a relaxing or stimulating effect on the user is provided. The apparatus comprises a device capable of engaging the patient's skin to provide a rhythmic tactile stimulus to the user that can alter the user's heart rate and an arrangement for securing the device to the user such that the device can apply the stimulus to the user. The apparatus may be part of a system enabling the device to be controlled remotely. The apparatus may also be configured to provide additional tactile stimuli.
ELECTRONIC SKIN REJUVENATING DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE
Provided herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for an Electronic skin rejuvenating device.
Vagal nerve stimulation for treating dopamine-related conditions
Vagal nerve stimulation devices and methods are provided for treating medical conditions, such as conditions associated with insufficient dopamine and/or endogenous opioids in the brain. A device includes one or more electrodes having a contact surface for contacting an outer skin surface of a patient and an energy source coupled to the electrodes. The energy source generates one or more electrical impulses and transmits the electrical impulses to the electrodes and transcutaneously through the outer skin surface of the patient at or near a vagus nerve. The one or more electrical impulses is sufficient to modulate the vagus nerve and release dopamine and/or endogenous opioids in a brain of the patient.
Method for non-surgical correction of joint deformity
A method of non-surgical correction of joint deformity using a therapy stimulator machine that includes a first and second handheld probe electrode; using the hand held probe electrodes with water to apply pressure to locations and wiggle the probe electrodes around the joint to stimulate directing toxic waste to the blood circulatory system of the patient.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING SPASTICITY AFTER NEUROLOGICAL INJURY
In a method of performing spinal reflex conditioning for an anatomical limb of a person, a spinal reflex is evoked by electrically stimulating a peripheral nerve of the anatomical limb, for example using stimulation electrodes disposed on an armband or leg band. The resulting spinal reflex is measured using electromyography (EMG) signals acquired from the anatomical limb. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is performed in response to the measured spinal reflex satisfying a positive reinforcement criterion. The EMG may be high density EMG (HD-EMG) measured using a sleeve with a high density array of electrodes (e.g., at least 100 electrodes in an arm sleeve).
Mouthpiece for skin treatment and apparatus for skin treatment using electrical energy
Provided is a monopolar skin treatment apparatus using electrical energy in a high frequency wavelength band in which a retaining ligament, a blood vessel, and a fibrous tissue of a deep part is utilized as an electricity passage to actively prevent the skin from sagging due to the aging. The mouthpiece for skin treatment includes a frame, and a ground electrode unit on the frame. The frame includes a first frame disposed in front, a second frame extending rearward from one end portion of the first frame, and a third frame extending rearward from an opposite end portion of the first frame. The ground electrode unit is integrally formed with the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame while continuously extending.
METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR REDUCING BLEEDING VIA COORDINATED TRIGEMINAL AND VAGAL NERVE STIMULATION
Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for reducing or limiting blood loss and reducing bleed time in a subject by combined vagus and trigeminal stimulation. The apparatuses and methods may activate (e.g., electrically) one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve and may concurrently (at overlapping or near-overlapping time) independently activate the vagus nerve. This activation may be invasive or non-invasive.
