ANTI-CONSTIPATION AND ANTI-FLATULENCE DEVICE
Anti-constipation and anti-flatulence device is provided which comprises an outer casing, inside which outer casing is movably mounted at least one piston having at one end a support foot on a patient's belly. Movement means of said piston are further present, configured such that the piston passes from a condition of maximum extraction from the outer casing of the support foot to a condition of minimum extraction and/or insertion of the support foot and vice versa and such that, in the maximum extraction condition, the support foot translates linearly along a work plane, which work plane substantially identifies the patient's belly.
A MASSAGE ATTACHMENT FOR USE WITH AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
A massage accessory for use with an electric toothbrush has a body and a coupling mechanism. The electric toothbrush has a body, and a shaft configured to generate an oscillating movement. The coupling mechanism is configured to couple the massage accessory to the shaft of the electric toothbrush. The body of the accessory has a base at a proximal end of the body, a head at or near a distal end of the body, and a flexible region between the base and the head. The base, the head, and the flexible region are arranged such that the head is configured to move in response to the oscillating movement of the shaft and the base remains relatively stationary compared to the body of the electric toothbrush. A massage accessory for use with an electric toothbrush has a transfer shaft with a driving feature, and a coupling mechanism configured to couple the massage accessory to the shaft of the electric toothbrush. The accessory has a head having a driving feature that is complementary to the driving feature of the transfer shaft. A space is provided between the driving feature of the transfer shaft and the driving feature of the head when the transfer shaft and head are engaged such that oscillating movement of the transfer shaft causes a corresponding oscillating movement of the head and additionally causes vibration of the head.
SKIN CLEANSER
A skin cleanser includes a surface, such as a silicone surface, with at least one textured portion for transmitting vibrational tapping to the skin. The skin cleanser includes at least one oscillating motor for generating the tapping motion to the skin. The textured portion includes touch-points or a wave that transmit the tapping motion to skin in contact with the textured portions. The touch-points may include thicker and thinner formations of the touch-points to provide firmer or softer vibrations to the skin. The touch-points are within about 0.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter. One configuration includes multiple oscillating motors configured to provide different vibration frequencies at around 50-300 Hertz and operable simultaneously.
UNIVERSAL FACIAL REJUVENATION TREATMENT SYSTEM (U-FRTS)
A system for facial and skin treatment includes a universal skin exfoliating and rejuvenating system that uses dual-function plate mounted onto the front edge of the hand-held system in a multi-step process. One step used in the multi-step process includes of a microdermabrasion procedure using diamond-tipped wands fixed on a dual-function plate to cleanse and exfoliate dead skin that simultaneously removes the dead skin away. In another dual-function process, a plate equipped with micro-needles and skin care products is used to generate collagen for firmer toned skin. The micro-needles are fixed on moving parts or roller, to help with fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores. Also, a dual-function plate is used for skin massage and special serum treatment and application. The handheld system is equipped with a miniature vacuum pump, mini supply containers, and control parts to supply serums and skincare products to the dual-function plates.
Double-headed cross-reciprocating-swinging massage apparatus
The present disclosure discloses a double-headed cross-reciprocating-swinging massage apparatus, which includes a pivoting shaft, a first massage head, a second massage head and a massage driving mechanism. A first end of the first massage head is rotatably connected to the pivoting shaft, and a first end of the second massage head is rotatably connected to the pivoting shaft. The massage driving mechanism is connected to the first end of the first massage head and the first end of the second massage head in a driving way respectively, making the massage driving mechanism be capable of driving the second end of the first massage head and the second end of the second massage head to reciprocally swing about a central axis of the pivoting shaft in a manner of moving towards or away from each other to generate a massage action.
Quantification of force during soft tissue massage for research and clinical use
A manually-operated quantification soft tissue mobilization (QSTM) device includes a pressure applicator and a sensor member. The pressure applicator is configured to enable a user to dynamically apply a stroking mechanical force as the pressure applicator is moved over an area treatment areas of a patient's soft tissue. The sensor member including an accelerometer and a gyrometer is configured to determine various parameters of the dynamically applied stroking mechanical force in three dimensions as the pressure applicator is moved over the treatment areas of the patient's soft tissue. These parameters include a force magnitude in three dimensions, an angle in multiple axes, a stroke position, a stroke frequency, a sensed vibration magnitude at dominant spectral frequencies, and/or a rate of the stroking mechanical force dynamically applied to the soft tissue.
Generating cold plasma away from skin, and associated systems and methods
A cold plasma system and method for treating a region of a biological surface is presented. In one embodiment, the system includes: a housing; an air conduit within the housing; a first electrode configured proximately along the air conduit; a second electrode configured proximately along the air conduit and opposite from the first electrode; and a source of alternating current (AC) electrically connected with the first electrode. The source of alternating current is configured to generate cold plasma in the air conduit.
Multi-modal thermal therapy for blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye syndrome
Methods for treating Blepharitis, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dry Eye Syndrome include thermal massage, thermal debridement, and thermal expression. Particular embodiments include use of handheld devices that provide the thermal therapy to tissue by contacting a surface heated with thermal energy to a patient's tissue. Thermal energy can be continuously provided during operation. In particular embodiments, a handheld device comprises a base assembly operatively connected to a removeable thermal energy applicator. A wide range of thermal applicators may be connected to the base assembly to provide different treatments, including heat application, debridement, and expression of the treated tissue or gland.
Customizable cleaning brush
A customizable cleaning brush, including a main body, a plurality of head members removably connected to at least a portion of the main body to brush, scrub, and massage a body of a user, a plurality of operation controls disposed on at least a portion of a first side of the main body to perform at least one of a rotation, oscillation, and vibration of the plurality of head members, and a plurality of pressure controls disposed on at least a portion of a second side of the main body to perform at least one of a speed control and a pressure control of the plurality of head members.
Protective cover system
A protective member having a flexible member body defining an interior space adapted to receive a motion element and which extends to a peripheral margin releasably attachable to an external surface of a housing enclosing a drive unit operable to move the motion element inside of the flexible member body. whereby the protective member prevents entanglement of hair or fur with the drive unit or motion element.
