The invention provides devices for the disruption of one or more layers of skin and methods of their use to administer therapeutic agents, e.g., antigens or drugs. The devices are designed to disrupt a defined area of skin. The defined area can approximate the area that a patch or other suitable vehicle for therapeutic agent, e.g., drug or vaccine, delivery is designed to contact. Exemplary devices employ a mask to define the area to be disrupted. Other devices disrupt a defined area by rotating in place. For devices that employ a mask that is secured to the skin, the invention provides methods of disrupting the stratum corneum by first securing the mask to the skin and then disrupting the skin. For rotating devices, the disrupting member is simply placed against the skin and actuated to effect disruption.

A foldable beverage press plunger system is provided that includes a shaft and a plunger pivotally attached to an end of the shaft. The plunger may be selectively folded and unfolded, such that the plunger has a first width when the plunger is unfolded, and has a second width smaller than the first width when the plunger is folded. The second width may be sufficiently small that the plunger may be inserted into and removed from the mouth of a beverage container having a mouth that has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of a body of the beverage container. A collar may be slidably disposed on the shaft, and the collar may be adapted to secure the plunger in an unfolded configuration after the plunger has been inserted into the mouth of the beverage container.

Apparatus and methods are provided for selectively dispensing first and second liquids from a bottle. A cap including a first opening is coupled to a mouth of the bottle, and a first valve is coupled to the first opening. The first valve includes a first position, wherein the first liquid may be dispensed from the bottle, and a second position, wherein the first liquid is substantially sealed in the bottle. A container containing a second liquid is coupled to the first opening. The container includes a second opening, and is adapted to be inserted through the mouth into the bottle. A second valve is coupled to the second opening. The second valve is adapted to close when a difference between a pressure inside the container and a pressure outside the container is less than a predetermined amount, and to open when the pressure difference is greater than the predetermined amount, wherein the second liquid may be dispensed from the container when the first valve is in the closed position.

A breast pump, for example a manual or mechanical breast pump, that provides massaging to the areola and/or milk lake region of the breast sequentially or simultaneously. The breast pump, for example, features an actuator that provides both positive and negative pressure during a single stroke. Flexible membranes within the funnel of the breast pump inflate to massage the breast, especially the nipple and milk lake regions.

A breast pump comprises a breast cup and a source of positive and vacuum to the breast cup. The pressure and vacuum are set to an initial value for a fixed period of time, and they are not adjusted by a user. The initial values are selected to allow the breast cup to be repositioned by a user before higher levels of pressure and vacuum are applied.
