Abstract:
In therapeutic apparatus, the combination comprising an adjustable cradle pressure exerting therapeutic cushion, a flexible sheath housing a cushion, an elongated support operatively connected to a sheath for maneuvering a sheath and cushion into selected position or positions for transmitting pressure between a person and a surface onto which a person's body weight is imposed via a cushion and sheath.
Abstract:
A sex enhancer is a flexible and deformable fluid-filled enclosure with a smooth exterior surface having a rounded shape. The sex enhancer is heated and inserted into the vagina before sexual intercourse. During sexual intercourse, the penis pushes the sex enhancer against the cervix to provide enhanced pleasure to the woman without detracting from the pleasure of the man.
Abstract:
Therapeutic devices that provide support or pressure to tissue. Devices contain a material that is capable of being contracted from its relaxed state to an evacuated state. The material applies pressure to the tissue of a patient when the material is in its relaxed state. Reduction of pressure by application of a vacuum results in a contracted state of the device, so that the device can be applied or delivered to a patient. Release of vacuum results in a return to the relaxed state, thus providing a maximum desirable pressure to tissue and avoiding the possibility of over-pressure which can result in tissue damage or necrosis.
Abstract:
An applicator attachable to a skin treatment device that is capable of simultaneously applying RF energy and optic energy to a patient's skin, and a skin treatment method using the applicator are developed. The skin treatment device comprises: a housing, one or pair of electrodes arranged inside of the housing for generating the high frequency waves, a suction cavity formed in front of the electrodes while it is contacting to the patient's skin, opposite end installed to the housing and an lateral vacuum pocket that is connected to a flow pathway connected to a vacuum system for generating negative pressure inside the applicator. Thus, the patient's skin is lifted by suction force to place between the pair of electrodes for easily and effectively penetrating the laser beams in to the dermis.
Abstract:
A massager (12) includes an inductively chargeable battery (48), avoiding the need to deal with batteries and cords while providing a pleasant exothermic warmth. Different embodiments of sealing and skinning (13) make the massager (12) hygienically safe and fluid- and water-resistant. Sophisticated controls (50) provide the massager with the ability to respond to direct-mounted user controls (20, 22), wireless communication controls such as remote controls (30) and a plethora of other protocol-compatible devices, systems and media. A mating base (14) supports the massager (12) for inductive charging in a stable, aesthetically pleasant and safe relationship.
Abstract:
A massaging system that applies massaging pressure to multiple points on the body and adjusts to differently sized users. In one implementation, the system includes a carrier having two separated compartments for holding essentially spherical masses, and a flexible member positioned between the separated compartments and connecting same, wherein at least the flexible member is fabricated of a stretchable material.

Abstract:
A therapeutic pad is used in footwear which has a liquid absorbent to prevent liquid leakage in the event the sealed envelope of the pad is ruptured. The footwear includes a pair of compartments which substantially surround the foot cavity for receiving the therapeutic pad.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for imparting continuous passive motion to one or more joints, ligaments, or tendons is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing, an actuator, and a flexion/extension assembly. In preferred form, a main flexion cable links the actuator to a joint support member pivotally attached to flexion/extension assembly. Reciprocating motion of the main flexion cable causes the support member to oscillate. A restoring force, preferably a second main cable cooperative linked to the actuator, is present so as to urge the support member to its initial position. The path of motion of the support member can be altered, while the apparatus is in operation, by a cable deflecting assembly. By controlling the degree of cable deflection, the degree of support member motion can be altered. Variations to the apparatus include providing for multiple flexion cables, each linked to the main flexion cable, and multiple cable deflecting assemblies; a cable deflecting assembly associated with the second main cable for controlling the degree of extension; and a heat source affecting the area surrounding the flexion/extension assembly.
