Garment systems including a flexible compression garment, at least one sensor, and at least one therapeutic stimulation delivery device operable responsive to sensing feedback from the at least one sensor, effective to provide therapeutic radiation to a body part of a subject. Methods of using such garment systems are also described.

Disclosed is a system and method for regulating tourniquet cuff pressure to restrict blood flow penetration past the cuff based on a personalized restrictive pressure (PRP). The system includes mechanisms for estimating a limb occlusion pressure (LOP) by determining a minimum pressure at which arterial blood penetration past an applied tourniquet cuff is stopped and measuring a pulsation characteristic associated with the LOP. Thereafter, the system establishes a PRP by determining a second pressure that restricts but does not stop arterial blood penetration past the cuff and that corresponds to a second pulsation characteristic differing by a percentage from the pulsation characteristic associated with the LOP. During a limb-activity time period, the system maintains pressure in the applied tourniquet cuff near the PRP, thereby restricting but not stopping arterial blood penetration past the cuff during the activity time period.

A device for compressing the chest of a cardiac arrest victim.

A system for performing an active compression decompression (ACD) treatment on a patient includes a platform for placement under a patient, a chest compression actuator that may include a belt configured to extend over a thorax of the patient, an upward force actuator, a coupling mechanism for coupling the upward force actuator to the thorax of the patient to transfer a decompressing force from the upward force actuator to the thorax of the patient, and a motor that is coupled to the belt, the motor configured to cause the belt to tighten about the thorax of the patient and exert a compressing force on the thorax of the patient; and cause the belt to loosen about the thorax of the patient and allow the upward force actuator to cause decompression of the patient.

A mobile compression integument for applying controllable scrolling or intermittent sequential forces, such as compression forces, to the body and limbs of a user comprises an elongated fabric body sized to encircle a limb of a user, one or more shape-changing elements carried by the fabric body and configured to apply a compression pressure to the limb through the fabric body upon changing shape in response to a stimulus, and a micro-processor based controller for selectively actuating the one or more shape-changing elements to reduce the effective diameter of the integument encircling the limb, to thereby apply pressure to the limb.

In some embodiments, a method may include monitoring use of a medical device. The method may include positioning a wearable harness of a medical device on a subject. The method may include selectively positioning at least some of a plurality of engines on and/or adjacent to at least one treatment area. The method may include applying an oscillation force to at least one of the treatment areas using at least some of the engines. The method may include mobilizing at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent to the treatment areas. The method may include monitoring use of the medical device by the subject using a controller associated with the medical device to determine if the medical device has been used effectively as prescribed.

An intelligent compression device for controllable compression. The compression device includes a compressible body and a microprocessor. The compressible body encircles a limb of a user and includes an elastomer layer and an activation layer. The elastomer layer includes voxelated liquid crystal elastomers that contract in response to a stimulus. The activation element, which is positioned proximate to the elastomer layer, supplies the stimulus. The microprocessor actuates at least a portion of the activation element layer.

A CPR chest compression system which uses tonometric data as feedback for control of chest compression device.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a garment system including at least one sensor and at least one actuator that operates responsive to sensing feedback from the at least one sensor to cause a flexible compression garment to selectively constrict or selectively dilate, thereby compressing or relieving compression against at least one body part of a subject. Such selective constriction or dilation can improve muscle functioning or joint functioning during use of motion-conducive equipment, such as an exercise bike or rowing machine.

This invention concerns condoms, prophylactics and contraceptive devices made of silicone rubber having a body with one open end and a closed end. The open end is fused with a rubber band or hereinafter ligature that goes over the scrotum and around the back of the male testicles to act as a scrotal fastener for the condom and testicular stimulator, which during intercourse will fasten the condom to the shaft of the penis from the base of the scrotum, to (i) prevent slippage, and (ii) generate increased ejaculatory/orgasmic sensation.
