The management kit may comprise a wearable fabric or spectacle frame configured with infrared emitters and sensors, a handheld imaging device and software containing dosage and administration information coupled with information on improving eyelid hygiene which is reviewed and periodically updated using user-specific information.
EYE MASSAGING DEVICE
An eye massaging device comprises a main body, a water bag, a control unit, a cover, and a fixing ring. The temperature of the circulating water tank may be sensed by a thermal sensor and then feedback the temperature signal to a microprocessor. The microprocessor may control to drive a heating member to increase temperature and stop increasing temperature so as to effectively control the operation temperature and prevent from transient blindness resulting from being not able to effectively control the temperature.
Heating device
A heating device includes: a temperature change unit that changes a temperature of a temperature change area; an induction unit that applies a stimulus to an induction area; and a controller, wherein the induction area is an area on skin surface, or an area that occupies a space that can be perspectively projected on the skin surface, the induction area is an area that does not overlap with the temperature change area, the induction unit applies at least one of a tactile stimulus and a visual stimulus to the induction area, the controller executes a first control for changing a temperature of a first temperature change area of the temperature change area and a second control for applying a stimulus to a first induction area of the induction area, and the second control is performed in accordance with the first control.
PAIN-REDUCING INJECTION APPARATUS
A pain-reducing injection apparatus to enhance the safety, efficacy, and efficiency of injection procedures which utilize topical pain-reducing measures. Apparatuses and methods of use provide pain reduction through thermal cooling of an injection region or vibrating the region or both, and optionally include safety shielding and lockout features.
Aesthetic method of biological structure treatment by magnetic field
Device and methods for enhancing visual appearance by muscle contracts are provided herein. The device may include a capacitor, a first applicator with a first magnetic field generating coil, a second applicator with a second magnetic field generating coil, a first switch to discharge energy from the capacitor to the first magnetic field generating coil to generate a first time-varying magnetic field, and a second switch to discharge energy from the capacitor to the second magnetic field generating coil to generate a second time-varying magnetic field. The magnetic field generating coils may be spaced apart from the casings to allow cooling media to flow. The time-varying magnetic fields may have a plurality of pulses with biphasic impulses, and when applied to a muscle in a body region, the muscle is contracted. The body region may be a buttock, an abdomen, arms, or thighs.
Smart Tourniquet
A smart tourniquet includes a casing having a control unit; a contact area arranged to the casing, configured to contact a patient's skin, and connected to the control unit; a cuff arranged to the casing with an inflatable bladder; an adjustable strap arranged to the cuff for securing the cuff and casing to the patient; a pump contained in the casing, connected to the bladder, and controlled by the control unit; a thermoelectric module contained in the casing, controlled by the control unit, and connected to the contact area; and at least one sensor contained in the casing for detecting blood pulse and controlled by the control unit. The control unit is configured to inflate and deflate the bladder in response to blood pulse for changing a pressure around an arm or leg and to heat the contact area for vasodilating a vein under the patient's skin for visual detection.
Infrared sudation device
An infrared sudation device includes a support element (1) extending along a longitudinal axis (X) and a cover element (2a, 2b) of semicylindrical shape mounted on the support element (1) so as to delimit an internal volume extending in the longitudinal direction between the support element and the internal surface of the cover element. The internal surface of the cover element is covered at least in part with a heating layer (3a, 3b) able to emit far-infrared radiation in at least part of the internal volume. The infrared sudation device includes a housing of photocatalyst (4), permeable to the infrared radiation emitted, supporting a photocatalyst (5) and arranged in proximity to the internal face of the heating layer (3a, 3b) so as to allow the photocatalyst to be activated using the energy supplied by the infrared radiation emitted.
PNEUMATIC COMPRESSION DEVICE WITH VIBRATION AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL
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.
Thermal therapy devices
A thermal pad for controlling a patient's temperature includes first and second chambers defined between interior and exterior layers. The first chamber circulates a temperature controlled fluid from a first inlet to a first outlet. The second chamber is in fluid communication with a port and a plurality of holes defined in the interior layer. Pressurized gas supplied to the second chamber is vented onto the patient to control the microclimate between the patient's skin and the thermal pad. An additional third chamber is provided in some embodiments that urges the thermal pad into contact with the patient when subjected to negative gauge pressure. In other embodiments, a negative gauge pressure chamber is allowed to partially inflate in order to urge the thermal pad into contact with the patient.
