An active implantable medical device includes an encapsulation (1) defining an inner space sealingly separated from an outer environment by walls transparent to a given wavelength range.

The walls have a first main wall (1a) and a second main wall (1b) facing one another and separated from one another by an inner height (Hi) of the inner space. An encapsulation includes a housing formed by a first component (2) and a second component (3) both made of a single material and hermetically joined to one another along a single interface (23) to define the inner space hermetically sealed by the walls from the outer environment.

An inner space contains an electronic, and facing a wall of the encapsulation.

wherein joining of the first component and second components (2, 3) is carried out by welding without addition of a third material, the inner space has a volume (Vi) of at least 2 cm.sup.3.

A pneumatic compression assembly that includes a sleeve having an outer layer and an inner layer that defines a sleeve interior configured to receive a body part of a user, and at least a first vibration assembly configured to provide vibration to the body part of the user. A plurality of inflatable compartments are arranged longitudinally along the sleeve between the inner layer and the outer layer. The first vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration motors positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer of the sleeve.

A chamber providing controlled amounts of IR and visible light within an internal space sized to seat at least one human being. The chamber includes at least one heater configured to emit FIR energy, at least one heater configured to emit NIR energy, and at least one heater configured to emit at least MIR energy. The chamber includes at least one light emitting source configured to emit a selected wavelength of visible light, and a control panel configured to control the amount and duration of FIR, MIR, NIR and visible light within the chamber.

A wound dressing and method of use is provided that increases healing of tissues by targeting damaged tissue at a predetermined wavelength. The device includes the use of a negative pressure bandage, a flexible light sheet, and one or more bioactive marine extracts. Light emitted from the flexible light sheet penetrates through the bandage to target damaged tissue, which accelerates the wound healing process and works synergistically with the negative pressure bandage and bioactive marine extracts such as collagen fibers, alginate, chitosan and fucoidan, or any combination thereof to accelerate healing.

The invention relates to a non-surgical system for the retraction of the eyelid tissue of a patient meant to tighten the tissue without making an ablation, that is designed to be coupled to any laser generator equipment present in the market and wherein the laser generator supplies a laser beam in continuous mode to a handpiece.

The invention also relates to said handpiece.

The system is characterised by comprising a handpiece that can be coupled to a laser generator operating in a power range of 0.1 to 10 W and with treatment times of 0.1 to 5 s, and having one or more lenses that focus or collimate the laser beam to a small spot with a diameter of 0.5 to 5 mm. The system also comprises a timed pedal assembly with an electronic control unit associated with a timed pedal meant to compensate the delay time (t.sub.r) of the mechanical shutter and add it to the programmed emission time on the skin (t.sub.p), thereby compensating said delay time (t.sub.r) and allowing to obtain compensated laser beam pulses (t.sub.c), as well as incorporating a timed module to allow obtaining the required laser beam pulse times of 0.1 to 5 s.
