摘要： A system and method for the treatment of body tissue is provided that includes a radiation-emitting device and a massaging mechanism. In accordance with one embodiment, the radiation-emitting device is a laser and the massaging mechanism is an automated mechanical massaging mechanism. The radiation-emitting device can emit radiation in one or both of the visible and infrared wavelengths. The radiation-emitting device can emit radiation in a concentric combination of infrared and visible laser light. The method of using the tissue treatment system includes exposing a skin surface of a patient to radiation emitted from the radiation-emitting device at predetermined wavelengths for predetermined periods of time. The method further provides for massaging the exposed skin surface of the patient with the massaging mechanism. The tissue treatment system can be utilized to effect the reduction of excess cellulite.

摘要： A percutaneous, intramuscular stimulation system for therapeutic electrical stimulation of select muscles of a patient includes a plurality of intramuscular stimulation electrodes (50) for implantation directly into select muscles of a patient and an external battery-operated, microprocessor-based stimulation pulse train generator (10) for generating select electrical stimulation pulse train signals (T). A plurality of insulated electrode leads (40) percutaneously, electrically interconnect the plurality of intramuscular stimulation electrodes (50) to the external stimulation pulse train generator (10), respectively. The external pulse train generator (10) includes a plurality of electrical stimulation pulse train output channels (E) connected respectively to the plurality of percutaneous electrode leads (40) and input means (24, 26, 28) for operator selection of stimulation pulse train parameters (PA, PD, PF) for each of the stimulation pulse train output channels (E) independently of the other channels. Visual output means (20) provides visual output data to an operator of the pulse train generator (10). Non-volatile memory means (66,68) stores the stimulation pulse train parameters for each of the plurality of stimulation pulse train output channels (E). The generator (10) includes means for generating stimulation pulse train signals (100,102) with the selected pulse train parameters on each of the plurality of stimulation pulse train output channels (E) so that stimulus pulses of the pulse train signals having the select stimulation pulse train parameters pass between the intramuscular electrodes (50) respectively connected to the stimulation pulse train output channels (E) and a reference electrode (52).

摘要： The present invention relates to a device with an ultrasonic-based probe for drilling and coring. The invention uses ultrasonic and subsonic vibrations produced by a frequency compensation coupler or free mass to produce the hammering action of a partially disengaged probe, with a relatively low axial force required. The invention can also be fitted with irrigation and aspiration capabilities. The invention can furthermore be furnished with a body sensor-feedback apparatus, which provides feedback to the operator as to the optimal frequency and power use of the generator. One embodiment of the invention also has a cooling mechanism to keep the drill or coring apparatus at an optimum temperature.

摘要： Systems and methods stimulate circulatory activity in a targeted body region of an individual by applying ultrasound energy. Before, during or after the application of ultrasound energy, the systems and methods administer an agent to individual that results, e.g., in an angiogenic effect, or in a reduction of blood perfusion, or a chemotherapy effect. The application of ultrasound energy selectively increases blood perfusion or uptake of the agent in the targeted body region.

摘要： The infant eye trainer is a device that is mountable on a baby bottle for strengthening and developing infant eyesight. The device utilizes interchangeable media producing an image on a display, which may be viewed by the infant while drinking from the bottle. A variety of images designed to improve, strengthen, and facilitate infant eyesight development, both physically and cognitively are selected for display. The device mounts onto the end of a baby bottle, thus placing it within an infant's focal range. The device may also utilize audiovisual stimuli to further develop infant eyesight and cognition.
