Abstract:
The present invention discloses a non-invasive rigid-support enhanced external counterpulsation device (RS-EECP) providing a precise onset of a blood flow characterized by a sharp-wave front, useful for out-patient treatment of arterial insufficiency states, especially angina; said RS-EECP comprising a timing means and a plurality of pressing cuffs; said timing means is adapted to onset the collapsing and expanding maneuvers of the cuffs in a sequence of occasions defined along the diastolic/systolic cycle; said cuffs are fastened around at least a portion of the circumference of at least one organ comprising a vascular bed to counterpulsate against an either fixed or maneuverable support; wherein said support is a rigid member; so as a quick expansion of said vessel bed, following a forceful and effective collapsing of the same is obtained.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of treating nasal congestion and/or relieving sinusitis symptoms in a patient comprising attaching a vibration generating means to the patient head, at a location adjacent to sinuses to be treated, generating a vibration by said vibration generating means, and delivering the same to said patient. The present invention also discloses a device for treating nasal congestion and/or relieving sinusitis symptoms in a patient, comprising attaching means and a vibration generating means; said attaching means are in communication with the patient's head in a location adjacent to said nasal cavity, nasal passageway or sinuses to be treated; said generating means are adapted to vibrate said attaching means, to vibrate the location adjacent to said nasal cavity or sinuses and thus improved mucociliary clearance of secretions in nasal cavity or sinuses.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of producing therapeutic oscillations useful in treating a mammalian patient comprising steps of: obtaining an artificially induced vibrations device (AIVD) useful for a patients wellness for producing artificially induced vibrations of any of a given frequency, pressure, amplitude, volume and duration according to a protocol; said AIVD comprising: a. plurality of regulators, each of which is adapted to define an AIV; b. mechanism for producing the protocol of said defined individual AIVs; and, c. effector adapted to introduce said protocol of produced AIVs to impinge in or on at least at least one body portion of a patient; wherein said therapeutic protocol of AIVs comprises two or more different individual time resolved AIVs.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a pulsating inhaler, comprising a fluid oscillator providing a focused fluid column with a series of alternating high and low pressures zones; a medicament dispenser adapted for releasing small and constant measures of at least one medicament via said fluid column; and,at least one outlet orifice adapted to direct said focused fluid column towards the respiratory tract of a patient, wherein said small and constant measures of medicament are subjected to the patients while its respiratory tracts are gently and continuously vibrated The present invention also discloses a method of inhaling small and constant measures of medicament while gently and continuously vibrating the patient's respiratory tracks by a means of a fluid column characterized by a series of alternating high and low pressures zones.
