System and method of applied contrasting therapy to pelvic regions and human distal anatomy
12005025 · 2024-06-11 ·

A system and method for providing Thermal contrast therapy are presented. The system may comprise a fluid membrane barrier, a human interface device (HID), fluid tubing, a pump, and a reservoir. The system may be operable to apply any combination of heat, cold, and pressurized compression, light energy, acoustic energy, and vibratory energy to a therapy recipient for treating anal-prostate-perineal and vaginal areas, as well as podological and other extremities. The system may be operable to impart a desired therapy temperature to the human interface device and to expand a membrane containing a therapy fluid. The expanded membrane may conform to the contours of a therapy site. Operation of the human interface device may be controlled using a remote-control device. The therapy recipient may be able to control the temperature of the fluid or gel, as well as reception of light energy, acoustic energy and vibratory pulsing energy to assist in treatment of one or more conditions.

System and method for treating and preventing pressure sores in bedridden patients
10245197 · 2019-04-02 ·

A system such as a hospital bed provides capability to monitor and alleviate the pressure points and provides oxygen and water jets to prevent and treat bed sores in bed-ridden patients. An array of balloons touching each other form a mattress of unstitched but contiguous balloons like in a conventional mattress with stitched puffs. Individual pressure sensors placed within each balloon measure and monitor pressure. Furthermore, horizontal rods which lay between the balloons perform oxygenation and provide water massage to the back of the patient body from the interstitial spaces within the unstitched mattress of contiguous balloons. The rods are elevated to raise the patient above the mattress to relieve overall pressure and enable cleaning and wipe down of the back of the patient body. The rods can elevate the entire patient body or its torso alone or the lower extremities alone to clean as desired.

Massage device
10201471 · 2019-02-12 ·

A massage device includes a hot and cold compress member that is connected to a circulating water tank via a connection pipe. An accommodating body is located between a water bag and a main body, and includes a heat conducting member, a cooling member and a heat dissipating member. The circulating water tank is connected to a control body which controls the operation of the heat conducting member, a cooling member. Water circulates through the water bag by a first pipe and a first pump, and the temperature of the water is controlled to provide appropriate temperature to enhance blood circulation of the users. The water bag is fastened to the accommodating body without using screws or bolts to avoid from being rusted and leakage.
