Abstract:
A light emitting module and massage device provide vaginal rejuvenation. The device exposes collagen in the vaginal area or mucosa to temperatures elevated over normal body temperature to cause the collagen to reversibly or irreversibly denature while simultaneously applying vibration. Once thermally-induced collagen denaturation has occurred, both neoelastogenesis and neocollagenesis may occur and may be initiated with fibroblast proliferation, which may be promoted with vibration. Neofibrogenesis also occurs due to the fibroblastic activity, responsible for secretion of new collagen matrix to effect tissue repair. Thus, the device exploits thermally-induced collagen denaturation and repair along with simultaneous vibration to improve tissue tone, connective tissue tension and bulk tissue regeneration.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices used to treat eyelids, meibomian glands, ducts, and surrounding tissue are described herein. In some embodiments, an eye treatment device is disclosed, which includes a scleral shield positionable proximate an inner surface of an eyelid, the scleral shield being made of, or coated with, an energy-absorbing material activated by a light energy, and an energy transducer positionable outside of the eyelid, the energy transducer configured to provide light energy at one or more wavelengths, including a first wavelength selected to heat the energy-absorbing material. Wherein, when the eyelid is positioned between the energy transducer and the scleral shield, the light energy from the energy transducer and the heated energy-absorbing material of the scleral shield conductively heats a target tissue region sufficiently to melt meibum within meibomian glands located within or adjacent to the target tissue region.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for dynamic compression of venous tissue enable improved blood movement in the extremities. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a pressure pad provides a compressive force to a portion of the human body. The pressure pad is successively withdrawn and re-pressed against the body. In this manner, prevention and/or treatment of various medical conditions may be achieved, for example restless leg syndrome, edema, plantar fasciitis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, venous insufficiency, wound care, and/or the like.
Abstract:
A skin treatment apparatus (1) for treating a skin surface, comprising: a hand held base body (10); a rotor head (20), movably connected to the base body (10), and including at least one skin contacting element (22); a motor (30), operably connected to both the base body (10) and the rotor head (20), and configured to rotatably drive the rotor head (20) relative to the base body (10) around a rotation axis (L); at least one motion sensor (40), configured to generate a movement signal reflecting a path of relative movement between the motion sensor and the skin surface; and a control unit (50), operably connected to the at least one motion sensor (40) and the motor (30), and configured to control the motor (30) to rotatably drive the rotor head (20) in dependence of the movement signal of the at least one motion sensor (40).
Abstract:
A walking assistance moving vehicle includes a walking assistance moving vehicle main body configured to assist walking of a user, a speed sensor (21) configured to sense speed of the walking assistance moving vehicle main body, and a controller (22) configured to decelerate the walking assistance moving vehicle main body according to the speed sensed by the speed sensor (21).
Abstract:
A vibratory massaging device having a spaced plurality of proximity sensors distributed on a massaging surface of the device, and a control circuit operative for controlling vibratory intensities in response to activation of particular ones of the sensors being close to a user's body parts being massaged. The device can be configured as a dildo, including both main and secondary vibrators, the secondary vibrator being within an arm portion that is configured for clitoral stimulation. At least one of the vibrators is automatically driven at increased intensity as penetration increases.
Abstract:
There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through or in proximity to one or more massage components. The massage component provides mechanical massage to the subject biological tissue and modifies the properties of the subject tissue in thickness, density, etc. to facilitate the absorption of the therapeutic light and enhance the effect of the phototherapy procedure.
Abstract:
A plurality of nozzles are located on each side of a foot washing station on curved portions of spray members. At least some of the nozzles are located at a plurality of elevations and are downwardly directed to knock debris off the lower leg and foot of a user to thus wash the debris away. A foot platform supports the foot or feet of a user is preferably continuously sloped so that water does not accumulate at any portion of the foot platform. Additionally, an actuator is preferably actuated by the placement of the weight of the foot on the foot platform to begin the spraying of the foot or feet with water in a hands-free operation. Spray nozzle tips are screwed into orifices which then dispense water under pressure preferably in a spray pattern with highly atomized water pellets efficiently removing debris from the feet of a user.
Abstract:
A percussion paddle device for use in chest physical therapy-comprising a handle and cup positioned at one terminal end of the handle. The cup is made of a pliable plastic and has a cushion positioned long its exterior rim. In use, the percussion paddle is swung at a patient such that the cushion is flush with the patient creating seal. The resulting build up of pressure mimics the force of a cupped hand.
