DERMATOLOGICAL TREATMENTS AND SYSTEMS EMPLOYING COOLING, TOPICALS, AND/OR ABRASION

Dermatological treatments and systems employing cooling, topicals, and/or abrasion are disclosed herein. The system can include a cold plate and a suspension assembly tip. The suspension assembly tip can be selectively coupleable to the cold plate. The suspension assembly tip can include a suspension tip and a suspension. The suspension tip can include a contact surface that can be contacted onto a patient's skin to provide a treatment. The suspension can couple to both the cold plate and to the suspension tip. The suspension can be thermally conductive so as to closely thermally couple the suspension tip to the cold plate, or the suspension tip can have a low thermal conductivity so as to not closely thermally coupled the suspension tip to the cold plate.

Local cooling anesthesia device, method of controlling local cooling anesthesia device, and cooling temperature regulator of local cooling anesthesia device
11207488 · 2021-12-28 · ·

Disclosed is a local cooling anesthesia device for spraying a coolant on a treatment site. The local cooling anesthesia device includes a housing which forms an outward form and from which the coolant is sprayed and a spraying unit installed in the housing to spray the coolant. The device also includes a cooling temperature regulator connected to the spraying unit to apply thermal energy to the sprayed coolant for temperature regulation and a control unit connected to the cooling temperature regulator to control the cooling temperature regulator. The cooling anesthesia device has functions of measuring and regulating the temperature of the coolant, and thus can apply the coolant to the treatment site within a safe temperature range according to the purpose of treatment, thereby enabling a desired treatment purpose such as local anesthesia to be safely and rapidly accomplished without side effects such as cytoclasis.

Meibomian Gland Roller
20210386617 · 2021-12-16 ·

A Meibomian Gland Roller system allows for self-administered the treatment for a leading cause of dry eyes, namely, tear film oil deficiency. The system combines an effective and safe technique to combine mechanical rolling pressure with heat for meibomian gland drainage. The rolling action of the roller cylinder combined with the roller head to increase effectiveness in empting inspis sated meibomian glands. The roller allows the patient to safely start the application of the pressure at the bottom of the glands and effectively roll open clogged oil glands. The washable roller keeps the head clean for long term use. A preheated eye-shaped soft gel pad can prepare the lids before the roller tip is applied by heating and softening the meibomian gland contents, allowing the roller to have a more effective action to induce mechanical extraction of the gland content.

Cold Therapy Device and Method
20210386579 · 2021-12-16 · ·

A cold therapy apparatus includes a thermal body wrap with umbilical to a control unit with pump for circulating a thermal fluid to remove heat from a body. A coolant heat exchange assembly includes a coolant tank that is filled with a coolant and has a heat exchanger inside that is immersed in the coolant. The heat exchanger is coupled to the control unit to circulate the thermal fluid through the thermal body wrap. The coolant heat exchange assembly is removed from the control unit and placed in a cold environment to chill the coolant, and is then re-coupled during cold therapy. The process is repeated form extended therapy periods.

Heat Stimulation Instrument
20210378859 · 2021-12-09 ·

Provided is an instrument for applying heat stimulus to a target site in a human body in a convenient and efficient manner without causing trauma in a subject. A heat stimulation instrument includes a handle and a body unit, and the body unit includes an electric heater. The handle includes a vapor switch for controlling discharge of vapor, the body unit further includes a vaporizing chamber and a vapor chamber in fluid communication with the vaporizing chamber, the vapor chamber is provided with a steam expelling port passing through a bottom surface of the body unit, and the vapor switch controls such that steam passes through the vapor chamber and is discharged from the steam expelling port, the steam being formed from liquid introduced into the vaporizing chamber by being heated by the electric heater.

INSTANT COLD THERAPEUTIC APPARATUS
20210369497 · 2021-12-02 ·

An instant cold therapeutic apparatus, comprising: at least one squeezable packet (1) associated with the apparatus, wherein the packet is gently squeezed by a user, a first burstable pouch (2) present inside the packet filled with first non-toxic reactant and a second burstable pouch (3) available inside the packet having a second non-toxic reactant, wherein the pouches present inside the packet include two non-toxic reactants, which react to produce cooling sensation at the infected portion of the user body.

A DEVICE FOR ALLEVIATING ITCHING
20220168170 · 2022-06-02 ·

A device (100) for alleviating itching is described. The device (100) includes a body (102) and a plurality of convex protrusions (106) being mounted on the body. In use, the plurality of convex protrusions (106) provides a plurality of contact points on a user's skin.

NOVEL MASSAGE GUN
20220168175 · 2022-06-02 ·

The present disclosure provides a novel massage gun, relates to the technical field of massage devices, and solves the technical problem that a wire between a handle and a massage head of the massage gun breaks easily when the massage gun moves at a high speed. The novel massage gun includes a gun body, a massage head arranged on the gun body, an auxiliary physiotherapy assembly arranged in the massage head, a main circuit board arranged in the gun body, and a connecting cable electrically connected to the auxiliary physiotherapy assembly and the main circuit board, where the connecting cable is made of a conductive wire resistant to high-speed bending. In the present disclosure, the connecting cable electrically connected to the auxiliary physiotherapy assembly in the massage head is made of the conductive wire resistant to high-speed bending, which solves the problem that the connecting cable breaks easily when the massage gun performs high-speed piston movement. Because the connecting cable does not break easily, electrical connection can be maintained, thereby prolonging the service life of the massage gun, and reducing use costs.
