  • Publication number: 20140234793
    Abstract: A novel moist steam heating cabinet unit is used as a medical device for humidification, hydration, and dispensing of medicinal hot packs. The technology provides multifunctional options from both medicine and non-medicinal hot pack treatment, as well as for other applications and uses, for example—including creation, manufacturing, and curing of pharmaceutical compounds that require a controlled steam process and method. A moist heating device is a unit designed and constructed to deliver a timed, heated fluidic steam coming from a moisture-heating source. This moist heating by employing steam heat activates the therapeutic potential of a portable topical compress or hot pack with a applicator of various shapes and sizes, for transdermal use and neat applications of a “wet medicinal dressing.” The moisture provides the activating liquid and fluidic environment for the flowing through, titrating, and permeating delivery of hydrous and anhydrous drugs or medicaments held within a medicinal pack.

A moist heating device is a unit designed and constructed to deliver a timed, heated fluidic steam coming from a moisture generating heating source. This moist heating by employing steam heat activates the therapeutic potential of a portable topical compress or hot pack wrap applicator, of various shapes and sizes, for transdermal use and neat applications of a “wet medicinal dressing.” The moisture provides the activating liquid and fluidic environment for the flowing through, titrating, and permeating delivery of drugs or medicaments held within a medicinal pack.

  • Patent number: 5741317
    Abstract: A submersive therapy apparatus which includes a tub filled with an aqueous solution adapted to provide physiotherapy and drug treatment to the body or body parts of a patient, such as the hands, arms, feet or knees, such aqueous environment containing a medicated fluid and/or other liquid medium. An array of stationary ultrasonic acoustic transducers are arrayed within the walls of the tub which are connected to movable ultrasound heads. The ultrasound heads are exposed on the surface of the inner tub walls to concentrate ultrasound energy on a body part target area. Additionally and alternatively to the delivery of ultrasound energy, rows of electrodes and coils are arranged around all sides of the inner walls or panels of the tub in alternating positive or negative polarities to deliver an electric current and/or provide an electromagnetic field.
