An ultrasonic medicine application device that strongly promotes medicine absorption, having a housing, a control panel and a circuit board inside the housing, a medicine supply mechanism and an ultrasonic massage mechanism on a bottom surface of the housing. The ultrasonic massage mechanism has a base panel having massage projections, and also an electrical ultrasonic vibration element, which drives the projections make high frequency ultrasonic vibration. The medicine supply mechanism is positioned between the ultrasonic massage mechanism and the circuit board, and is configured to supply medicine towards the ultrasonic massage mechanism.

The invention pertains to implantable medical devices for controlled delivery of therapeutic agents. Some devices according to the invention have a titanium reservoir, and a porous titanium oxide based membrane to control the rate of release of the therapeutic agent. The reservoir contains a formulation of the active agent, and means to promote water uptake into the reservoir upon implantation. In some embodiments the means include a gas with a higher solubility in than air water.

A vapor dispenser includes a bifurcated housing having a body attached to a mouthpiece. A vaporizer cavity of the bifurcated body pneumatically communicates with an inlet orifice of the mouthpiece. A vaporizing component is received in the vaporizing cavity. An exhaust cavity of the bifurcated body pneumatically communicates with an outlet orifice of the mouthpiece. The exhaust cavity is pneumatically separated from the vaporizer cavity. A one-way valve is positioned in a selected one of: (i) the exhaust cavity; and (ii) outlet orifice and that: (i) opens in response to exhalation through the bifurcated mouthpiece; and (ii) closes in response to inhalation through the bifurcated mouthpiece. An air filter is received in the exhaust cavity.

An aspiration system includes a pump and a control system in communication with the pump. The control system includes a microcontroller, an antenna configured to receive a signal, and a pump control board in communication with the microcontroller. The antenna is in communication with the microcontroller. Upon receiving the signal, the pump control board operates the pump to create negative pressure according to the signal.

A medical device comprising an implantable subcutaneous access port having a septum penetrable by a needle; the septum having a cavity located between an outer wall and an inner wall, the cavity containing a flowable media comprising a plurality of displaceable particles arranged to move in response to the needle being inserted through the outer wall and into the cavity and reposition around the needle.

A copper bactericide/virucide assembly for killing invasive bacteria and viruses in a nostril includes a wire that is comprised of copper. In this way the wire can kill bacteria and viruses on contact. The wire is insertable into a nostril thereby facilitating the wire to contact mucous membranes within the nostril. Thus, the wire can kill invasive microbes, bacteria and viruses on the mucous membranes thereby reducing the likelihood of developing an upper respiratory infection.

Intravesical drug delivery devices that include a device body, a number of solid drug tablets, and a retention frame. The device body includes a drug reservoir lumen and a retention frame lumen. The drug tablets is positioned in the drug reservoir lumen, and the retention frame is positioned in the retention frame lumen.

A drug delivery device is provided that includes a device body, a number of solid, compressed drug tablets, and a retention frame. The device body includes a drug reservoir lumen and a retention frame lumen. The number of solid, compressed drug tablets are positioned in the drug reservoir lumen, and the retention frame is positioned in the retention frame lumen. The drug tablets may be mini-tablets aligned in the drug reservoir lumen, with an interstice formed between any two adjacent drug tablets facilitating deformation of the device body. Systems and method are also provided for loading a drug delivery device. In one embodiment, the method includes positioning one or more solid drug units upstream of the drug delivery device; and driving the drug units into the drug delivery device with a flow of pressurized gas.

A vacuum powered pimple puller configured to extract pus and other biomaterial from within an individual's or animal's clogged pore with mild suction provided by an external vacuum source, which is channeled through the body of the present invention. The force of the vacuum is focused on the target area of skin by one of a variety of applicator tips designed to be affixed to the head of the present invention while in use. It is the intent of the present invention to successfully remove biomaterial from a pore by rupturing the skin's surface, while minimizing the risk of infection.
