Abstract:
A faucet mounted eyewash unit for installation onto the discharge end of a standard faucet spout. The eyewash unit in a normal faucet mode position permits uninterrupted water flow through the faucet spout. In an eyewash mode, a portion of the eyewash unit is rotated quickly and easily to orient a pair of eyewash discharge ports in upwardly open positions, and to couple these eyewash discharge ports to the water flow for upward trajection of a pair of eyewash flushing streams. The eyewash unit further includes a thermostat for preventing hot water flow above a selected temperature level to the eyewash discharge ports.
Abstract:
A physiotherapy apparatus (10) comprising a robotic arm (11), wherein the robotic arm (11) is attachable to a base (12) for fixing the robotic arm (11) at a first end ( 13) and at the second end (14) the robotic arm (11) is provided with one or more removeable and interchangeable patient interaction means (30) which are designed to be attached to, held by, or interact with, a user (1) of the physiotherapy apparatus (10). The robotic arm (11) is capable of moving, or is adapted to move, the patient interaction means (30) in a known orientation and manner in a full three dimensional range of motion with respect to its first end (13), and is further capable of rotating and tilting the patient interaction means (30) around the second end (14). The robotic arm (11) is programmable and/or adapted to be able to move a limb (2) or other body part of the user (1) via the patient interaction means (30), in a user definable manner.
Abstract:
A handpiece (10) suited to carry out ultrasound treatments of human tissue to remove localised adiposity, cellulite, etc. The handpiece (10) comprises: a box- shaped body (11) presenting a basin- like concave element (13) the contour of which (CNT), in use, is rested on the skin to be treated; and two ultrasound transducers (15, 16) located on the walls of the concave element (13), the ultrasound transducers (15, 16) being inclined with respect to each other at an angle (alpha) which can be adjusted by electromechanical means. Moreover, between the two ultrasound transducers (15, 16) there is a suction mouth (14) connected to a vacuum pump. The suction mouth (14) is suited to lift a portion of skin, in such a way that two adjoining portions of skin, covered with massage oil or gel, are brought into contact with the ultrasound transducers (15, 16). Only then, the ultrasound transducers can be activated.
Abstract:
The apparatus is arranged to supply a flow of substantially pure oxygen to a person, and comprises a source of substantially pure oxygen gas, means for release of the substantially pure oxygen gas from the source into an ambient atmosphere; and means for cooling the substantially pure oxygen gas released from the source to a temperature below that of the ambient atmosphere. The substantially pure oxygen gas when cooled by the cooling means can be allowed to sink under ambient pressure by convection into a zone including the ambient atmosphere, the zone being beneath, and in convective communication with, the cooled substantially pure oxygen gas, whereby the cooled and sunken substantially pure oxygen gas can come into contact with the skin of a person in that zone. At least one parameter (such as temperature, oxygen concentration, sound or vibration) is monitored in the zone and operation of the release means is only permitted when the parameter is in a predetermined range.
Abstract:
A genital exercise device to exercise the penis and testes of a male person consists of a genital exerciser which is a resistance generating system. The resistance generating system is associated with a flywheel which is connected to a first end of a tape. The second end of the tape is connected to a genital attacher, which securely encloses the penis and scrotum. An actuator is connected to the tape to move the tape bi-directionally. The resistance generating system generates a variable and adjustable resistance force through the tape onto the penis and testes, and the actuator moves the tape bi-directionally. The resistance force creates an upward counterforce on the internal organs and glands resisting the force placed upon the genitals. In exercising the penis and testes, this force strengthens the ' Chi ' (internal life force) through exercise of the anal, perineal, and pubic-coccygeal muscles, strengthening these muscles in the process. A genital exercise machine using the genital exercise device is also proposed.
Abstract:
Nerve treatment/mobilization apparatuses are configured to mobilize a user's peripheral nervous system. The nerve treatment apparatus includes a back support, a pair of force applying members and a neck cradle. Additional optional attachments include upper body nerve mobilization tracks and a lower peripheral nerve mobilization device.
Abstract:
A system (10) and apparatus for treating cellulite that includes a housing (30), a first opening (36) for communication with a suction source and a second opening (38), in communication with the first opening for delivering suction from the suction source (15) to the body. The second opening (38) is located adjacent a bottom portion of the housing and a plurality of roller balls (40) are disposed around the second opening for delivering massage treatment. Because the roller balls (40), are permitted to rotate freely and smoothly, the housing may be moved across the skin in any direction for delivering massage treatment and suction to the body for treating cellulite.
