  • Patent number: 11963690
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for treating epistaxis. In some embodiments, a device for occluding epistaxis includes a first curvilinear wall, a second curvilinear wall, and a third curvilinear wall each disposed at a top portion of the device. The device has an x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, and the top portion is relative to the y-axis. The device includes a fourth wall and a fifth wall each disposed at a bottom portion relative to the y-axis of the device. The fourth wall and the fifth wall independently are substantially straight or curvilinear. The device includes a first end including a front first end portion and a back first end portion. The first end is curvilinear corresponding to the first curvilinear wall, and the first end is disposed at an angle relative to the x-axis.

  • Patent number: 10779689
    Abstract: A shower attachment to keep steam within a bathroom shower includes a plurality of telescopic rods, a first dome panel, a second dome panel, at least one inner fastener, and at least one outer fastener. The plurality of telescopic rods is mounted opposite of each other and functions as a framing structure. The first dome panel and the second dome panel are slidably positioned offset of each other to fit within opposing walls of a bathroom shower. The first dome panel and the second dome panel are terminally mounted to each other by the at least one inner fastener and the at least one outer fastener so that the first dome panel and the second dome panel can position atop the plurality of telescopic rods. Resultantly, the first dome panel and the second dome panel are able to trap the steam vapor within a bathroom shower.
