Abstract: A medical bone screw with a new structure capable of improving fixation strength with human tissue such as bone tissue and minimizing damage to human tissue during insertion is disclosed. The medical bone screw includes a head, a body connected to the head and having a spiral shape with dimensions appropriate for medical bone screw applications, and a central space defined by the body.

Abstract: An acupressure apparatus includes a tub configured to receive the user's feet for acupressure treatment, an acupressure station having a pair of designated foot placing areas for facilitating accurate positioning of the feet on the acupressure station, a plurality of upward projections formed on an upper surface of the acupressure station, and a plurality of watering holes formed around the projections, and a water supply conduit connected to the bottom wall of the tub for supplying compressed water by operation of a water pump. The watering holes formed in the acupressure station are directed to acupressure points of the feet such that the compressed water delivered through the watering holes provides acupressure stimulations to the acupressure points of the feet.
