Abstract:
The headache mitigating apparatus includes at least a transverse strap configured to wrap around a user's head in the manner of a hat band and at least one strap configured to extend under the user's occipital bone and rest along the user's upper neck as well as extending over the head strap at a forward end thereof. The apparatus can include bladders in the transverse and occipital straps, respectively. The bladders can be filled simultaneously or separately with a pneumatic hand pump such as those found on sphygmomanometers or may include an inflation apparatus which is operable via a push button, in a manner similar to that in which self-inflating items inflate. At least one strap may also accommodate a gel pack for heating or cooling. One or both straps may include buckles or hook and loop closures configured to be adjusted to secure the apparatus to the user's head.
Abstract:
A system for adding pressure and extracting heat from the bottom of a user's foot to aid in pain relief. A spherical container is provided with an aqueous polymer mixture which may be cooled or heated to allow heat to be transferred through the spherical container to/from the bottom of a user's foot. The spherical container is provided with a tube passing therethrough to allow a user to provide a strap through the spherical container. The strap is provided with handles to allow the user to direct the pressure of the spherical container to the bottom of the user's foot and to extract or apply heat as desired
Abstract:
A facial massage device configured to be positioned on a human face may include a plurality of layers. An intermediate frame including an elongate bridge element and a plurality of arms extending laterally from the elongate bridge may be positioned between an outer cover and an inner liner. A massaging node may be positioned at an end of each arm of the plurality of arms. The facial massage device may further include a control module in electrical communication with the plurality of massaging nodes.
Abstract:
A massage roller comprises a central spinal recess portion, a circular wall portion on each side of the spinal recess portion, and an outer portion extending outwardly from each of the circular wall portions, the outer portion having a first diameter at or near the circular wall portion, and a second diameter remote from the circular wall portion, the second diameter being larger than the first diameter.
Abstract:
A cushion support insert is described generally having a cushion with a surface sized for placement beneath a body of a user, the surface defining at least a first channel and a second channel therein. A fluid-filled bladder may be sized for placement upon the surface and a first plurality of pods and a second plurality of pods may be positioned upon or beneath opposing ends of the fluid-filled bladder such that the first plurality and second plurality are retained respectively within the first channel and the second channel. Each of the pods may be fluid-filled and aligned adjacent to one another within a respective first covering and second covering.

Abstract:
A leg stretching device includes a base frame, a support plate adjustably coupled to the base frame, a leg tube including a proximal end hingedly connected to the base frame and a distal end, a foot plate disposed at the distal end of the leg tube, and an actuation assembly including an actuation tube hingedly connected to the base frame and an actuation bar slidably disposed within the actuation tube and hingedly connected to the leg tube. The actuation assembly includes an actuator motor for moving the actuation bar relative to the actuation tube to reposition the leg tube relative to the base frame.
Abstract:
Apparatus for automatic delivery of chest compressions and ventilation to a patient, the apparatus including: a chest compressing device configured to deliver compression phases during which pressure is applied to compress the chest and decompression phases during which approximately zero pressure is applied to the chest a ventilator configured to deliver positive, negative, or approximately zero pressure to the airway; control circuitry and processor, wherein the circuitry and processor are configured to cause the chest compressing device to repeatedly deliver a set containing a plurality of systolic flow cycles, each systolic flow cycle comprising a systolic decompression phase and a systolic compression phase, and at least one diastolic flow cycle interspersed between sets of systolic flow cycles, each diastolic flow cycle comprising a diastolic decompression phase and a diastolic compression phase, wherein the diastolic decompression phase is substantially longer than the systolic decompression phase.
Abstract:
Apparatus for applying pressure, heat, cold or accu-pressure to a limb, comprises band members, at least a portion of which are elastic. A tab element, at least a portion of which is stiff and plastic, forms a catch for receiving and holding various treatment modalities. A shield, at least a portion of which is thin, flexible and smooth, prevents the user from becoming uncomfortable during treatment. A safety tab, at least a portion of which is stiff and plastic prevents the apparatus from coming undone, and thereby facilitates securement of the armband around the affected area. A pocket element receives various treatment modalities. A rectangular frame, at least a portion of which is stiff and plastic, connects band members and forms a cuff-like apparatus.
Abstract:
An erotic stimulator device comprising a mat including an inner surface and an outer surface, a hook and loop fastening system wherein a hook portion of the system is secured to one mat surface and a loop portion of the system is secured to the opposite mat surface and a sleeve having an open end and a closed end wherein the sleeve is placed on the inner surface of the mat with the open end of the sleeve extending outside the perimeter of the sleeve, the mat is rolled up into a cylindrical shape with the sleeve inside and the hook and loop fastening system is engaged to maintain the shape of the mat and the open end of the sleeve is extended from the inner surface to the outer surface of the mat.
