Abstract: A Meibomian Gland Roller system allows for self-administered the treatment for a leading cause of dry eyes, namely, tear film oil deficiency. The system combines an effective and safe technique to combine mechanical rolling pressure with heat for meibomian gland drainage. The rolling action of the roller cylinder combined with the roller head to increase effectiveness in etnpting inspissated meibomian glands. The roller allows the patient to safely start the application of the pressure at the bottom of the glands and effectively roll open clogged oil glands. The washable roller keeps the head clean for long term use. A preheated eye-shaped soft gel pad can prepare the lids before the roller tip is applied by heating and softening the meibomian gland contents, allowing the roller to have a more effective action to induce mechanical extraction of the gland content.

Abstract: The pinwheel testing device described herein comprises a disk with sharp points or pins projecting outwardly from the circumference of the disk. This disk is rotatably mounted on a handle so that the sharp points of the disk device can be rolled on a patient's body part to test reaction to pain and sensitivity. Since there sometimes is a puncturing of the skin in the test area, there is great concern about the spread of HIV virus and other blood borne diseases, such as hepatitis, slow-virus, etc. Present instruments used for this purpose are made of stainless steel and, since they cannot be discarded, present a problem to keep them sterile. The design of the pinwheel device described herein makes it possible to make this unit out of plastic and therefore disposable. The manufacture of this device also permits structural advantages not available when such a device is made of metal.
