  • Patent number: 11096817
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a therapy tape configured to enable a tensile force to be applied to one or more surfaces (e.g., a patient's skin). In various embodiments, the therapy tape may comprise a backing layer having a top surface and a bottom surface. An adhesive layer configured to secure the therapy tape to a surface may be secured relative to the bottom surface of the backing layer. Moreover, one or more handles may be secured to the top side of the backing layer. The one or more handles may be configured to enable a tensile force to be applied to the therapy tape and the surface to lift a portion of the surface while maintaining adherence between the therapy tape and the surface.

  • Patent number: 9138370
    Abstract: The adjustable massage apparatus has a massage effect of which is based on the suction effect created in connection with the treatment head of the apparatus. The treatment head of the apparatus has a surface which comes into contact with the skin, a frame, and a low-pressure chamber, associated with the surface for creating a low-pressure suction in order to lift the skin. The apparatus has a sensor for measuring characteristics of skin tissue, and elements to automatically adjust the low-pressure suction to the desired value, on the basis of the obtained measurements.
