Molded Ice Applicator for Biological Surfaces
A cryotherapy device that enables the applicator to massage a biological surface with targeted precision using a sphere of ice attached to a handle and an insulating mold. The device allows for the filling and freezing of water forming a spherical ice form, as well as protection for the applicator's hands and fingers from exposure to the ice. It is comprised of three components: a handle for gripping the device, which is anchored into the spherical ice form, and two sub adjacent hemispherical molds, which seal together in order to contain water that is frozen into a spherical ice form. One hemispherical flexible mold is sub adjacent to the handle, and also serves to provide insulation for the applicator's fingers. The other hemispherical mold possesses rigid protrusions that enable the device to stand vertically on a flat surface. After the water is frozen within the device, this third component is detached from the other two components in order to expose the spherical ice form for application of cryotherapy massage to a biological surface.
Devices for applying a topical treatment
A device comprising a housing having a handle end and a treatment end. The treatment end is configured to provide an antimicrobial treatment and a heat treatment. The treatment end comprises an applicator having an applicator surface for providing at least the heat treatment. The device includes a heat generation unit configured to heat the applicator surface in use, a source of antimicrobial agent, and a control unit operatively connected to at least the heat generation unit for controlling the heat generation unit. The device can be a hand-held device and used to apply topical treatment to a treatment area of a subject.
ELECTRONIC SKIN REJUVENATING DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE
Provided herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for an Electronic skin rejuvenating device.
Attachment For a Device for Delivering Fluid into an Ear Canal
An attachment for a device for generating an airflow or for dispensing a fluid, which attachment is adapted to be inserted at least in sections into an external ear canal of a human or animal ear. The attachment has a connecting piece for connecting the attachment to the device for generating an airflow, and has a guide vane of tongue-like design with a guide vane base for guiding air flowing out of the device for generating an airflow via the connecting piece.
Pain Management Using Cryogenic Remodeling
Medical devices, systems, and methods for pain management and other applications may apply cooling with at least one probe inserted through an exposed skin surface of skin. The cooling may remodel one or more target tissues so as to effect a desired change in composition of the target tissue and/or a change in its behavior, often to interfere with transmission of pain signals along sensory nerves. Alternative embodiments may interfere with the function of motor nerves, the function of contractile muscles, and/or some other tissue included in the contractile function chain so as to inhibit muscle contraction and thereby alleviate associated pain. In some embodiments, other sources of pain such as components of the spine (optionally including herniated disks) may be treated.
MOBILE ITCHING TREATMENT DEVICE WITH INTERFACE
The invention preferably relates to a device for hyperthermal treatment of itching and/or herpes diseases comprising a control device on which at least two treatment programs are stored and an interface for a selection of one of the at least two treatment programs by means of a mobile device, so that after actuation of an operating element the control device heats a treatment surface according to the selected treatment program to a treatment temperature between 40°-65° C. and holds the treatment temperature for a treatment duration between 1 and 12 seconds.
HEATING AND COOLING SUPPLY FOR FACIAL BRUSH
A skin treatment device especially for use for treating skin in terms of cleaning, exfoliating and/or massaging the skin. The device comprising a housing and a skin treatment head releasably attached to the housing. The skin treatment head being rotatable around an axis element associated with the housing, wherein the housing encloses an actuator configured to rotate the skin treatment head, wherein the skin treatment head comprises one or more brushes associated with a support element), wherein the device further comprises a first thermally conductive element configured at a shortest distance to the one or more brushes selected from the range of 0-40 mm, and wherein the device further comprises a thermoelectric element configured to heat in a first mode the first thermally conductive element to provide a hot surface.
CRYOGENIC APPLICATOR
An applicator for applying cryogenic fluid to a treatment area is described, the applicator comprising: a reservoir (12) configured to contain a cryogenic fluid comprising a gas phase (G) and a liquid phase (L). A nozzle (20) extends from a proximal end arranged in fluid communication with the reservoir (12) to an open distal end (21) for application of fluid to a treatment area. An actuatable valve is provided to selectively allow a flow of cryogenic fluid from the reservoir (12) through the distal end of the nozzle (20). A spacer (14) extends distally beyond the distal end (21) of the nozzle (20), the spacer (14) comprising a skin contacting surface (14a) at its distal end. A porous material (16) is provided between the distal end (21) of the nozzle (20), at least between the open end of the nozzle and the skin contacting surface of the spacer.
Methods, Systems, and Devices for Treating Nerve Spasticity
A method in which a nerve associated with a spasticity in a limb of a patient may be identified. The cryogenic cooling needle may be inserted through a skin surface. The cryogenic cooling needle may be positioned to a target tissue such that the distal end of the cryogenic cooling needle is proximate to the nerve by bending the needle, wherein the needle has varying stiffness at a proximal portion and a distal portion. A treatment cycle may be delivered to a target tissue proximate to the nerve, the treatment cycle may comprise a cooling phase wherein cooling fluid flows into the lumen so that liquid from the cooling fluid flow vaporizes within the lumen to provide cooling to the nerve so as to treat spasticity.
Fillable Palm Cooling Device
A fillable palm cooling device is described. The fillable palm cooling device is configured to be filled with a cool substance, and includes at least a first endcap configured to be removed to enable the fillable tube to be filled with the cool substance. The fillable tube is configured to be held in palms of both hands of a person to cool the palms of both hands of the person when the fillable tube is filled with the cool substance.
