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 invention concerns a device (1) for the medical care of a patient in an emergency which comprises: an item of clothing (2), which may be worn by the patient on the body; a monitoring device (8, 9) arranged on the item of clothing (2) which may monitor at least one physiological function of the patient in order to determine an emergency; and a therapeutic device arranged on the item of clothing (2) which is operatively connected to the monitoring device (8, 9), in order to treat the patient when the monitoring device (8, 9) determines an emergency. The therapeutic device is a puncture device which may deliver a drug in an intraosseous manner.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for transcutaneous application of a stimulus or for transcutaneous recording of a parameter to/from the skin surface of a vertebrate, in particular of a human being. In order in particular to make nerve stimulation efficient, ergonomically favourable and easy for the patient, the invention proposes that the device is designed such that it can be accommodated entirely within the pinna (external ear) of the vertebrate.
Abstract:
Le dispositif vibrant 10 de massage comprenant un ensemble de massage pourvu d'un organe de contact 14 au moins en partie élastiquement déformable et destiné à être appliqué directement ou indirectement sur la peau d'un utilisateur notamment dans une position déformée lors d'une sollicitation exercée par l'utilisateur, et d'une armature 16 de renfort de l'organe de contact au moins en partie noyée à l'intérieur de l'organe de contact 14, ladite armature de renfort étant déformable conjointement avec l'organe de contact et apte à maintenir ledit organe de contact dans la position déformée lorsque l'utilisateur cesse d'exercer la sollicitation. Le dispositif comprend en outre au moins un générateur de vibrations 18 en contact au sein de l'organe de contact 14 directement avec l'armature 16 de renfort.
Abstract:
A device for imparting therapeutic doses to living tissue is disclosed. The device includes a planar carrier including or structured to adjustably accommodate a multitude of electrodes. Positions of the electrodes may be altered by a user during a treatment procedure involving the impartation of therapeutic doses to the living tissue.
Abstract:
A compression apparatus including an expandable body (12) configured for disposal about a foot. A strap (22) extends from the body. The strap is configured for disposal about the foot adjacent an ankle. The strap has a first layer (26) configured to engage an outer surface of the foot adjacent the ankle, a second layer (28) and a third cushion layer (30) disposed therebetween. The body may include a metatarsal portion (44). The first layer and the second layer may be configured to provide a barrier to the third cushion layer. The first layer may be configured to prevent engagement of the third cushion layer with the outer surface of the foot.
Abstract:
Le dispositif pour le traitement intensif de lesions cutanees, telles que les brulures, comprend une enceinte exterieure (2) comportant en son interieur une capacite de traitement (3) amenage pour recevoir le corps du patient (1) presentant des lesions et des moyens (5), (6), (7) pour introduire dans cette capacite et pour evacuer de cette derniere un liquide traitant (4). Le dispositif comprend des moyens (18, 20, 21, 28) pour filtrer et steriliser en continu le liquide traitant evacue de ladite capacite avant sa reintroduction dans cette derniere, les moyens (7) d'evacuation du liquide traitant comprenant un orifice d'evacuation (11) dispose au voisinage de la partie la plus basse de la capacite.
