Meibomian gland roller
11571356 · 2023-02-07 · ·

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 inspissated 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.

A massager (1) includes a main body (2) that has a plate shape and applies a massage by sliding a peripheral edge (21) of the main body (2) on skin, and at least one rotating body (3). The rotating body (3) is disposed so as to protrude outward from the peripheral edge (21) of the main body (2). The rotation axis (31) of the rotating body (3) extends outward through the peripheral edge (21) of the main body (2).

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RELEASING MUSCULAR TENSION
20220339060 · 2022-10-27 ·

Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a muscular tension releasing system comprising a therapy device comprising a first end, a second end, and an elongate rod extending from the first end to the second end. The rod includes multiple treads comprising knobbly bits; multiple receiving units to receive at least one tread; bearing surface(s) present on one of the first and second ends; and a coating of a durable material. The system also includes a strap including attachment unit(s) for attaching to at least one of the ends; and at least one holding means for enabling a user to hold the strap for positioning the therapy device according to a body part where the user wants to put pressure on. The strap enables the user to control an amount of pressure exerted by the therapy device on one or more muscles of the body part.

HIGH FREQUENCY TREATMENT HANDPIECE HAVING ROLLER ELECTRODES
20220339438 · 2022-10-27 · ·

Disclosed is a high frequency treatment handpiece having roller electrodes. The handpiece includes: a handpiece casing part; and a plurality of roller electrode members rotatably positioned on a lower surface of the handpiece casing part and applying a high frequency by being brought into contact with the skin. The handpiece prevents burning when the continuous rubbing of a treated area is performed during a treatment, allows a practitioner to conveniently perform the treatment, and allows a person being treated to comfortably receive the treatment with minimum pain. Ball electrodes and roller electrodes can be selectively used, and a roller fixed mode, which limits the rotation of the roller electrodes, can also be selectively used, and thus various massage effects can be selectively provided in accordance with the condition of a patient's skin, and the effect of the high frequency treatment can be maximized by means of the various massage effects.
