Treatment Device and System
A treatment system including a treatment device for treating a treatment area of a person's body is provided. The treatment device may include one or more treatment elements or treatment balls and a clamp or securement mechanism. The clamp or securement mechanism may include a first opposable portion and a second opposable portion, wherein at least one of the first opposable portion and the second opposable portion includes a receptacle configured to releasably hold a treatment element. The clamp or securement mechanism may be transitioned between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The treatment device may be used to apply pressure and a desired temperature to the treatment area, such as to apply pressure and a cold temperature to a portion of a person's ear to help treat ear injuries, which may help to reduce the likelihood of developing deformities (e.g., “cauliflower ear”).
Systems and methods for exerting force on bodies
Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.
Grounded Massage Tool
The present invention relates to the field of family health care, in particular to a manual massager with grounding benefits. The highly portable and manual device transfers the user's body excess voltage and transfers through the wire to grounding port and thus deposited to Earth. The assembly incorporates the benefits of grounding (earthing) with the benefits of massage therapy. The manual massager has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost and controllable massaging force, and is convenient to use.
Compression sleeve with massage rollers
The compression sleeve with massage rollers is a medical device. The compression sleeve with massage rollers applies a compressive pressure to an appendage of a patient. The compression sleeve with massage rollers is a mechanical device. The compression sleeve with massage rollers generates a kneading action that massages the appendage of the patient. The compression sleeve with massage rollers comprises a compression structure, a plurality of massage mechanisms, and a control circuit. The plurality of massage mechanisms and the control circuit attach to the compression structure. The control circuit electrically connects to the plurality of massage mechanisms. The control circuit controls the operation of the plurality of massage mechanisms.
Liquid dispensing container assembly
A liquid dispensing container assembly includes a container having a container interior configured to contain a supply of liquid to be dispensed. A rotatable, liquid dispensing head is carried by the container and has a dispensing surface and a dispensing port. An opening in the liquid dispensing head may communicate with the dispensing port. The liquid dispensing head includes one or more rollers disposed in one or more respective sockets. A dispensing adaptor may be disposed in the liquid dispensing head. The liquid dispensing head may be rotatable between a dispensing position wherein the opening in the liquid dispensing head aligns or registers with an opening in the dispensing adaptor to facilitate flow of the liquid from the container onto the dispensing surface of the liquid dispensing head and a closed position wherein the opening misaligns or misregisters with the opening in the dispensing adaptor.
Reduced friction massage surfaces and exercise equipment
A reduced friction massage and exercise device, which includes a base frame and at least one anchoring arrangement for anchoring a first body part of a user. A reduced friction surface is mounted onto the base frame, and includes a plurality of ball transfer units arranged such that adjacent ball transfer units engage one another. The device further includes at least one cable column including a weight stack. Each of the motion transfer balls is adapted for omnidirectional rotation relative to a corresponding housing element and independently of other the motion transfer balls. The reduced friction surface is adapted to have a second body part of the user placed thereon during performing of a physical activity applying force to the second body part, while reducing friction between the second body part and the surface.
MASSAGE TOY WITH WITH INTEGRATED MOVEABLE BALLS
The invention relates to a massage toy, in particular a dildo or vibrator, comprising a substantially cylindrical base member which is made of a supple material. According to the invention, the base member has at least one inner cavity in which a freely movable inertial member is arranged. The invention further relates to the use of a love ball and to a method of producing a massage toy.
Massage device
A massage device, including at least two massage elements and at least one bearing element, which is arranged between the massage elements, wherein the bearing element is designed in such a way that the massage elements can rotate independently with at least two rotational degrees of freedom per massage element, wherein the massage elements are surrounded by a tensioning element, which substantially defines the spatial position of the massage elements, wherein the bearing element includes bearing balls, which are arranged circularly, and wherein the bearing balls are arranged in a bearing cage.
Devices, systems and methods for promoting hair growth
According to some embodiments, a method of promoting hair growth or hair stimulation in a subject comprises applying vacuum or suction using a handpiece assembly along a targeted portion of the subject's skin surface where hair growth or hair stimulation is desired and providing at least one treatment material to said targeted portion of the subject's skin surface, wherein the application of vacuum or suction helps promote hair growth or stimulate hair.
Modular Self-Massage Apparatus
A modular self-massaging apparatus includes a framework and a ball assembly mounted to the framework. The ball assembly is modular and can be disassembled and reassembled in a variety of configurations. The apparatus is modular because the ball assembly and other ball assemblies can be applied to and carried in the apparatus at a variety of locations across the apparatus.
