Abstract:
A method and device for non-abrasively cleansing and exfoliating skin in combination with a cleansing solution. A cylindrical housing comprises a base for engagement with a fluid source and a vacuum source and a skin interface positioned on an end opposing the base and configured to contact and traverse a surface of the skin. The skin interface comprises non-abrasive, or rounded, smooth surfaces for contacting the skin. A combination of variable cleansing fluid delivery to the tip and vacuum pressure removal cleanses and exfoliates skin tissue or debris.
Abstract:
A hand rehabilitation device is used in rehabilitation therapies, for motility and functionality of the hands. The device has an orthosis, fitted to partially cover a patient's hand and forearm, and flexible rods for a passive and assisted active, concurrent, and/or selective bending or extension of the fingers. Movements are freely settable by an operator. Elements for sliding and supporting of the flexible rods during bending or extension of the fingers include ‘finger socks” or gloves provided with thimbles, fixed rods, or plates to stabilize the thimbles and hinged to move the flexible rods. A movement/command and control unit, integral to, or remoted located relative to, the orthosis is provided with actuators for moving the flexible rods. A tension adjusts the rods and rehabilitation device, adjusting and adapting to the hand s anatomical features.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a feet stretching device, which includes a base placed on the ground; an extendable rod having an end fixed at a front edge of the base and the other end extended upward; a control device having a control panel fixed at the other end of the extendable rod, two control handles disposed at two sides of the control panel for being held by user's hands, and a control circuit for generating different output signals selected by the user; and a driving mechanism having an end pivotally linked with the base at a position near a back edge of the base and the other end movably and reciprocatingly mounted on a support plate, so as to dynamically kept the angle between the support plate and the base according to the output signal for performing a stretching exercise on user's feet standing on the support plate.

Abstract:
Techniques and devices for securing a medical device to a patient-carrying device, such as a mechanical CPR device to a stretcher, are described herein. In one aspect, a medical device stabilization strap may include a first removable attachment shackle connected to a first end of a first strap. An adjustable quick release buckle may be disposed between a second end of the first strap and a proximal end of a second strap. A second removable attachment shackle may be connected to a distal end of the second strap. The first and second removable attachment shackles may each include a U-shaped bracket for removably engaging a medical device. The adjustable quick release buckle may adjust a length of the second strap, for example, to secure the medical device to the patient-carrying device.
Abstract:
There is provided an apparatus for upper body movement. The apparatus comprises a H-shaped cable-driven mechanism; two motors for driving the H-shaped cable-driven mechanism; and a manipulandum coupled to the H-shaped cable-driven mechanism for independent movement along x and y axes.
Abstract:
The present application relates to a device for treating skin (1) comprising a housing (2), a shaft (14) located in the housing (2) having a longitudinal axis (‘A’) and an end for receiving a skin treating part (3). The device (1) further comprises a drive means configured to cause the shaft to rotate about its longitudinal axis, and to oscillate in a direction along the longitudinal axis, wherein the drive means comprise a rotational drive unit for rotating the shaft (14) and an oscillation generator (26) for oscillating the shaft. The oscillation generator (26) is located about the shaft (14) such that the shaft is rotatable relative to the oscillation generator. Furthermore, the oscillation generator (26) comprises a solenoid (39) and a flux assembly (25), and the flux assembly (25) is moveable along the shaft (14) relative to the solenoid (39).
Abstract:
A sexual stimulation device includes a primarily cylindrical rigid housing containing a low durometer elastomeric material including an elongated cavity oriented along the primary axis of the housing and sized to receive a human penis and actuators disposed to provide pressure orthogonal to the interior surface of the cavity in a plurality of locations and under different control scenarios. Actuators include, magnetic, electromagnetic and cams.
