Abstract:
The invention relates to a stimulation device (1) for erogenous zones, in particular for the clitoris (12), which device (1) has at least one pressure field generator (2) with at least a first chamber (3) and at least a second chamber (4) with at least one opening (42) for placing onto a body part (11), and at least one connection element (5) which connects the first chamber (3) to the second chamber (4), and with a drive unit (6) which changes the volume of the first chamber (3) in such a way that, by way of the connection element (5), a pressure field is generated in the second chamber (4) and serves for stimulation; and a control device (7) which controls the drive unit (6).
Abstract:
The present invention is provided with a support mechanism for an armrest part that includes a gas spring. The support mechanism supports the armrest part in a state of being able to change a posture between an ordinary posture and a forward-tilt posture when the gas spring is locked, and the support mechanism supports the armrest part so as to make the armrest part move with forming an arc from a sitting corresponding position to a standing corresponding position that is located at a forward upper position when the gas spring is unlocked. A gas spring switch part that does not obstruct the locked state of the gas spring when the armrest part is in the ordinary posture and that releases the locked state of the gas spring at a time when the armrest part is in the forward-tilt posture is arranged between the gas spring and the armrest part.
Abstract:
A device and method coupled to a therapy garment to apply repetitive pressure pulses to a patient body, including a controller operable to regulate at least the duration of operation, frequency of the air pulses and selected air pressure applied to the patient. Aspects of the therapy system may be operable in accordance with operating parameters and a memory device captures session and summary data associated with one or more therapy sessions. The apparatus may comprise a wireless transmitter operable to wirelessly transmit session and summary data relative to one or more therapy sessions to a remote location.
Abstract:
Collection of biological fluids. At least some of the example embodiments are polymeric sleeves including: an elongate body that defines a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a longitudinal central axis; a main passageway through the elongate body along the central axis, the main passageway extends from the first end to the second end, and the main passageway having a first aperture on the first end and a second aperture on the second end; a first member suspended over the first aperture on the first end, the first member having a first initial passageway substantially aligned with the main passageway; and a first plurality of stanchion portions that extend between the first member and the first end.
Abstract:
A system for patient rehabilitation is disclosed. The system includes a first movable frame including an articulating bed, wherein the bed is configured to be selectively articulated to an inclined position, a suspension system, wherein the suspension system is disposed within the articulating bed and is selectively adjustable to accommodate varying patient height, a harness, wherein the harness is selectively engageable with the suspension system, wherein the harness is selectively adjustable to accommodate varying patient sizes, a second movable frame including a walker, wherein the walker includes a pair of legs and a motor, wherein approximation of the two movable frames permits the patient to easily utilize the walker from the bed. A method of using the system for patient rehabilitation is also disclosed.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a manual CPR device, also known as a CPR derrick, includes a frame that is put close to a patient who is on the ground. The device also includes a piston that can be moved up and down, and is aligned to be over the patient's chest. The device also has an actuator that the rescuer can operate manually so as to move the piston up and down, which will deliver compressions to the patient's chest. A bottom stop prevents the compressions from being too deep. In some embodiments, proper dimensioning of the CPR derrick permits the rescuer to perform CPR chest compressions while standing up, i.e. without kneeling. The rescuer may be able to perform higher quality CPR, and for a longer time, giving more opportunity to a life-saving team to arrive in time.
Abstract:
A device for use by an individual for sexual pleasure varying in form, i.e. shape, during its use and allowing for the user to select multiple variations of form either discretely or in combination and for these dynamic variations to be controllable simultaneously and interchangeably while being transparent to the normal use of the device, including the ability to insert, withdraw, rotate, and actuate the variable features manually or remotely. According to embodiments of the invention localized and global variations of devices are implemented using fluidics and electromagnetic pumps/valves wherein a fluid is employed such that controlling the pressure of the fluid results in the movement of an element within the device or the expansion/contraction of an element within the device.
Abstract:
A compression device for the foot comprising: a wrap adapted to surround the foot, the wrap comprising at least two bladders which when inflated conform to the shape of the foot to provide compression, the bladders being positioned on the wrap so that a first bladder focuses compression on the heel of the foot and a second bladder focuses compression on the arch of the foot; a channel attached to each bladder for independently delivering fluid to each bladder; and a controller attached to the channels that generates and independently controls the flow of fluid to the bladders.
Abstract:
A walking aid apparatus comprising a sitting member which a user sits astride and leg links each coupled to a connection provided on the undersurface of the sitting member in such a way as to be free to swing in the forward/backward direction, which improves the stability of the sitting member. The connection is adapted in such a way that a forward/backward swinging fulcrum of the leg links is located above the sitting member. More specifically, the connection is provided with an arc-shaped guide track longitudinal in the forward/backward direction and having the center of curvature above the sitting member, so that each of the leg links swings along the guide track in the forward/backward direction. If the leg links are allowed to swing freely also in the lateral direction, preferably the lateral swinging fulcrum of the leg links is also located above the sitting member.
Abstract:
A device is used for stimulating the pelvic muscles of a patient. The device comprises a tubular body which is of such a size that it can be placed along the crotch of a human body.
