Abstract:
Systems and methods for nasal irrigation are provided in which a nasal irrigation device includes a source of saline, an effluent receptacle, a nasal interface, a vacuum source, a fluid passageway to communicate the source of saline with the effluent receptacle through the nasal interface and a nasal cavity of the user, and a switch and valve assembly for selectively controlling the vacuum source and flow of the saline solution through the fluid passageway. The saline source is disposed relative to the device to provide gravitational inducement of saline to the nasal interface in engagement to the device user's nostrils. A combination of the gravitational inducement and the relative vacuum from the effluent receptacle generates a fluid flow for irrigating, cleansing and massaging the nasal cavity and ostia of a user. The entire device is assembled as a hand-held device for convenient lifting and disposal against the user's nostrils.
Abstract:
A drug delivery system including a chamber, which is configured for enclosing or covering at least a surface of a patient, a source of a drug and a pressure source, which selectively pressurizes the chamber. In addition, the system includes a controller for controlling the transfer of the drug to the chamber wherein the drug is administered to the surface of the patient under pressure.
Abstract:
The invention is to provide a gas mist pressure bath device, which causes to contact carbon dioxide, oxygen or a mixed gas of carbon dioxide and oxygen to the skin or mucous membrane of the head of a living body at pressure higher than a predetermined value for efficiently enabling skin-pass absorption. This device is to cause oxygen, carbon dioxide or a mixed gas of oxygen and carbon dioxide at density higher than a predetermined value to contact the skin or mucous membrane of the head of the living body, and is composed of a gas mist generation means 11 of generating and supplying a mist prepared by pulverizing and dissolving gas and liquid; a compressed air supply means 12 of supplying compressed air; and a living body mask member 13 shaped for covering the head of the living body, having a first sealed layer 14 which is connected to the gas mist generation means 11 and to the compressed air supply means 12, and having a second sealed layer 15 for sealing compressed air supplied from the compressed air supply means 12, so that the gas mist is caused to contact to the skin or mucous membrane of the head of the living body by the second sealed layer 15 at pressure higher than a predetermined value.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a device for applying a pulsating pressure to a local region of the body and applications thereof. The device may be used to increase the blood flow in a local region of the body, and in preferred embodiments provides a device for regulating the core body temperature of a patient.
Abstract:
A massaging apparatus capable of charging ion on a face contacting portion is provided.The massaging apparatus capable of iontophoresis has an effect to make isometrics permeated deeply through skin by charging ion on the face contacting portion.Further, the massaging apparatus capable of iontophoresis has another effect to prevent cosmetics from deterioration in advance by providing the airless pump container for blocking inflow of air.Further, the massaging apparatus capable of iontophoresis has still another effect to increase credibility by including the self-awareness portion for making user aware whether ion is charged on the face contacting portion.
Abstract:
An oral hygiene device having two toothbrushes connected or connectable to the end of a handle, the one or more toothbrushes providing a desirable fit about the teeth and/or gums and/or providing a desirable brushing action. An oral hygiene device hereof may provide for mechanically providing the brushing movements of the professionally recommended manual tooth-brushing method known as the “Bass” or “Modified Bass” technique to thus reduce or eliminate the element of human error associated with the brushing of a user's teeth and gums.
Abstract:
A device for the transdermal delivery of a therapeutic agent at a treatment site comprising a housing containing: a mechanical vibration element; a light source; a heating and/or cooling clement; a power source for powering said mechanical vibrational element, light source, and heating element; and an electronic control module.

Abstract:
A skin treatment device combines an RF treatment arrangement with a mechanical massage arrangement, preferably with the massage device in the form of an annular massage head encircling and rotating around the RF applicator. Also disclosed are configurations with a liquid dispenser for delivering a liquid to the skin under the device. According to one option, the skin contact surface of the RF applicator itself is provided in part by a rolling ball liquid applicator.
Abstract:
A dermatological skin treatment device is provided. The device comprises a handpiece and a cutting tool, wherein the tool is inserted through the conduit and percutaneously inserted into a tissue disposed within a recessed area of the handpiece. The device and method cut the fibrous structures under the skin that cause cellulite at an angle substantially parallel to the surface of the skin and replace these structures with a non-cellulite forming structure by deploying a highly fibrous mesh through a single needle hole to create a highly fibrous layer directly or through wound healing processes.
