Abstract: A clitoral stimulator features first and second contact members, at least one of which is supported for back and forth movement relative to the other of said first and second contact members in a longitudinal direction. Each contact member has a respective contact surface on side thereof facing toward the other in a lateral direction lying transverse to the longitudinal direction. The respective contact surfaces are separated or separable by a sufficient distance to accommodate a user's clitoris between the respective contact surfaces of said first and second contact members with said respective contact surfaces in contact with the user's clitoris at opposing sides thereof. An actuation mechanism is operable to drive the back and forth movement to perform a rolling action the user's clitoris between the stimulation members.

Abstract: A system and method for nonsurgical penile girth enhancement. Hydro-dissection creates a space along a length of the penis between Buck's Fascia and Darte's fascia. The filler material, such as hyaluronic acid, is injected into the space created and is modeled after injection. During the same procedure or a later procedure, additional spaces can be created and injected with the filler material, until the desired girth is obtained. The amount of filler material injected during any given procedure is limited to avoid challenging the lymphatics of the penis. By staging the girth enhancing injections, the risk of penile granulomas can be minimized, if not eliminated.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices for minimally invasive mastopexy, or other soft tissue suspension, which may be accomplished with or without augmentation.

Abstract: An apparatus for assisting in copulation and preventing discomfort due to testicular retraction or displacement (e.g., retractile testicle) during copulation and other activities is disclosed. The apparatus substantially encompasses, circumferentially, the upper portion of the shaft of a penis without constricting the urethra area at the base of the shaft of the penis. The apparatus further conforms to the torso behind the scrotal sack (i.e., between scrotum and torso) to prevent undesired movement of testicles into the abdomen area. The apparatus has a substantial U-shape, the legs curving inwardly toward respective anchoring nodes. Anchoring nodes may be included at the end of each leg of the apparatus to assist in minimizing movement of the apparatus while in use. The apparatus may rigid or may be slightly flexible and, when in use as a copulation aid, provides pressure to restrict outflow of blood from corpora cavernosa thus assisting to maintain erection.

The medical assembly includes a sling assembly including a dilator and an implant. The dilator can be configured to be coupled to the implant. The dilator includes a proximal portion and a distal portion such that the proximal portion includes a first locking feature. The medical assembly includes a delivery device configured to deliver the sling assembly. The delivery device includes a needle and a handle having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion of the handle includes a second locking feature configured to releasably mate with the first locking feature and inhibit axial movement of the dilator with respect to the delivery device. The first locking feature is sized to frictionally retain the second locking feature.

Abstract: The present application takes advantage of a simultaneous three pronged approach that converts sound to electricity and subsequently to vibration and ultrasound. The vibrations and electricity are transmitted via skin nerves to the brain to give the deaf or hard of hearing person “hearing sensation” through conditional reflex. The ultrasound wave is transmitted wirelessly to skull and then via bone conduction to the brain and inner ear. This hearing device is not solely dependent on the partially or totally damaged or absent inner ear.

Abstract: In an example embodiment of the disclosed technology, a system can comprise a pain stimulator such as a thermal probe and a device for evaluating biological and/or neurological feedback that can provide data relating to a patient's physiological and/or neurological state. Embodiments of the disclosed technology may further comprise a computing device for implementing various aspects of the technology. Aspects of the disclosed technology can be used to reduce a patient's pain-related anxiety, thus reducing a patient's pain sensitization and pain perception, which can help a patient eliminate or lessen chronic pain symptoms.

Abstract: One aspect provides advancing a distal end of a needle out of a bore of a tool, and capturing a suture in a slot formed through an exterior surface of the needle, with the suture engaged with a penile implant. The method includes retracting the distal end of the needle and a portion of the suture into the bore of the tool, and inserting a shaft of the tool into a corpora cavernosum of a penis and forcing the distal end of the needle and the portion of the suture out of the bore of the tool and through a glans of the penis. The method includes retracting the needle into the bore and retaining the portion of the suture exterior to the glans of the penis. Pulling on the suture pulls the penile implant into the corpora cavernosum of the penis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods configured to deliver a stimulus (e.g., a therapeutic agent or a therapeutically beneficial signal) to a cell, tissue, organ, or organism. The stimulus is applied at least twice, and the first and second applications are separated by a rest period in which no further stimulus is actively applied. The rest period is of a duration (e.g., about 1-6 hours) sufficient to provoke an enhanced response to the second stimulus.

Abstract: A sexual stimulation device which contains a vibrating member or vertical bullet which is attached at opposite ends to two elastic rings which may be of similar size or different sizes. The top ring is designed to have the index finger inserted inside the ring. The bottom ring is designed to have a male's penis and testicles fit inside of the ring. The device is battery operated and is primarily intended to be used for external stimulation which includes a vertical bullet (also referred to as a vibration motor) having a flexible bottom ring that attaches around a male sexual organ and can be positioned by pulling the top ring. The vertical bullet vibrates at different speeds and pulses to create different stimulations against sexual organs.

Abstract: A heart correction net according to the present invention is attached to an exterior of a heart. The heart correction net includes a first area that is a partial area included in a right ventricle side area of an entire area surrounding exteriors of ventricles; and a second area that is an area surrounding the first area in the right ventricle side area and a left ventricle side area. The first area in the heart correction net is configured to provide a lower contact pressure against a heart during a cardiac diastole than the second area.

Abstract: A vibrator sex toy is provided with touch-based sensors for an ergonomic in-situ method of controlling the operation and intensity of the vibrator. The vibrator sex toy has an internal end, an external end and a middle staging section. The staging section includes a control circuit and batteries. The internal end includes electric vibrator motors connected to the control circuit by wires. The external end includes ergonomically placed touch sensors that behave like variable resistors. The touch sensors respond to natural human gestures such as grasping, stretching, compressing and bending the external end of the sex toy with changes in resistance. The touch sensors are connected to the control circuit by wires and act as potentiometers in the control path of the vibrator motors. The user is able to vary the sensations from the motors intuitively and in-situ by manipulating the external end or applying it to a partner.
