Abstract:
Disclosed are a portable prostate treatment device and a prostate treatment probe module that includes a wireless communication unit, a probe controller and a heat generator. The wireless communication unit is capable of communicating with a corresponding external wireless communication unit. The probe controller receives a control signal for controlling a prostate heat treatment operation from the external wireless communication unit through the wireless communication unit. The heat generator generates corresponding treatment heat in response to the control signal for controlling the prostate heat treatment operation.
Abstract:
A leg massage unit is provided which comprises a calf massage unit made tiltable and/or upwardly or downwardly slidable and which is thereby adapted to give an improved massage effect to the user. The leg massage unit comprises a foot massage unit (10) for massaging the feet of the user, and a calf massage unit (80) tiltably coupled to the base end of the foot massage unit (10) by a connecting mechanism (90) and adapted to massage the calves of the user. The connecting mechanism (90) exerts torque acting to move the calf massage unit (80) toward an upright position relative to the foot massage unit (10). The connecting mechanism (90) also couples the calf massage unit (80) to the foot massage unit (10) upwardly or downwardly slidably relative to the unit (10).
Abstract:
A vaginal probe, and method of use is disclosed for stimulation of the nerves of the vagina with the purpose of testing their reaction to stimuli in the hope of defining, and treating sexual dysfunction in women. One embodiment of the invention (20) includes a shaft (22) adapted to be inserted into the genetalia of a human female. The shaft (22) includes a stop (24), presented as a thickening of the shaft (22). The probe (20) includes at least one stimulation area (26, 28) defined on a portion of the shaft (22) so that only a selected portion of the genetalia is stimulated. The shaft (22) may have sensors for measuring the reaction of the nerves to stimulation, and the stimulation areas (26, 28) may stimulate the nerves of the vagina using temperature, vibration, electricity, and/or pressure.
Abstract:
The present invention aims to provide a massaging device for feet and legs comprising a number of bosses each having a spherically headed portion on the top and lined on platforms of a certain height in plural rows, characterized in that the users con casually use it concurrently with their work in the office and not only the vital points of those body portions can be comfortably and adequately stimulated from an optimum angle with respect to those vital points just by statically placing them against those bosses in their seating and lying postures, but also load angle with respect to those vital points can be freely adjusted at their disposal.
Abstract:
A foot massager is provided in the form of a footbath (1) having first and second foot receiving portions (10). The base (2) of the footbath (1), i.e. the part on which in use rest the feet of a user, is provided with a plurality of moveable massaging elements (31, 50) to perform a massaging function on the feet. In one embodiment the massaging elements are half-round projection (31) formed on a movable member (30) and which project through apertures (33) in an overlying fixed member (32), while in a second embodiment the massaging elements are rotating wheels (50) fixed on the first member (30).
Abstract:
Dispositif de massage comprenant un manche (1) de forme allongée et une partie de massage proprement dite (8, 17) fixée de façon détachable audit manche. Ladite partie de massage (8, 17) peut se réchauffer directement au moyen d'un élément de réchauffement (4, 11) situé dans la manche ou au moyen d'une circulation d'air dans un conduit (12) situé dans le manche (1), à travers lequel l'air passe par l'intermédiaire d'un ventilateur (13) et circule le long du dispositif de réchauffement (11) situé dans le manche, ledit air étant transmis à la partie de massage (8, 17) pour la réchauffer. De plus, des moyens magnétiques (22) se trouvent dans la partie de massage (8, 17) pour créer un champ magnétique autour de ladite partie. De plus, le dispositif peut éventuellement comporter un système de dosage servant à alimenter la partie de massage en crème ou produit similaire.
Abstract:
Magnetic field generating therapeutic appliance which applies an alternating magnetic field to the body to promote the circulation of the blood, thereby relieving such conditions as stiffness or pain in parts of the body. A typical conventional therapeutic appliance of this type has a magnetic field generator housed within a case and is adapted to be operated manually by the person being treated, or a third person, to apply an alternating magnetic field to the affected parts. The prior-art appliance of this type cannot provide a satisfactory magnetic therapeutic effect because of the narrow working range of the fluctuating field and the small magnetic field intensity. In addition, since it is necessary to move the therapeutic appliance to operate it, its operation is not easy. According to this invention, a plurality case (2) each housing a magnetic field generator (1) are connected to form a pivotted chain, and the cases (2) at either end are provided with connecting members (3), (4), respectively, which can be connected to each other. According to this invention, the therapeutic appliance can be wound and secured around the affected part, and there is no need for special operations during the therapy such as moving the appliance. Moreover, the fluctuating field produced by each magnetic field generator (1) acts strongly over a wide range, including the affected part, thereby increasing the magnetic therapeutic effect.
Abstract:
A portable facial treatment apparatus includes a body (1) and a rotary massage portion (9) connected to be rotated by a motor (3). The body (1) contains infrared radiating means (10) comprising a heater (11) and an infrared radiating element (13) and steam generating means comprising water absorbent material (15) situated adjacent the heater. A bellows (17) is arranged to be reciprocated by the motor (3) and to blow air past the absorbent material (15) to expel steam from the body against the skin of the user.
