Patent number: 8070696Abstract: The invention relates to a myopia prophylactic and therapy appliance, which includes a suction head and a handle. The end of the suction head is in the form of a round flat opening. A blowhole is set on the wall of the handle. During the course of using the appliance, first, put the suction head snugly on the eyeball in order to vent the air of the suction head. Then, negative pressure is produced in the suction head by nipping the blowhole. When a hand grasps, or nips, the blowhole, a negative air pressure is produced. The handle is then pushed and pulled resulting in the suction head tip attracting the eyelid and eyeball and causing same to move back and forth. The suction head sucks the eyelid and the eyeball, and moves forward and backward by pulling forward and pushing backward the handle. Because the eyeballs are controlled by 6 extraoculars, when they are pulled and pushed, there will be a little distortion of the eyeballs. With this distortion, there will be a strong massage to the ciliary muscle.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2004Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Inventor: Jianjun Cui

Patent number: 7731702Abstract: A portable closed wound drainage system that uses a pouch shaped dressing which is inserted into a wound. At least a portion of the outer surface of the pouch is porous to allow exudates to enter. Exudates are removed from the pouch by flexible tubing which is secured inside the pouch at one end and secured at the other end to a portable drain/suction unit. The pouch contains porous material. The tubing can have a single or multi-lumen structure. The pouch and the tube are sealed by a flexible sealing material which is applied to the outer surface of the skin. A cosmetic cover sheet is attached to the patient's skin over the closed wound drainage system.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2005Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: NeoGen Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Farhad Bybordi, John J. Biggie, Lydia B. Biggie, John A. Dawson

Patent number: 5441533Abstract: A system and method for exchanging fluid between a body compress and a fluid source. In the preferred embodiment, an air pump is used to compress the fluid in the container and force it into the compress. When the motor is turned off, the fluid flows back from the container to the compress. By cycling the motor between "on" and "off" conditions, a circulation of fluid occurs between the compress and the container.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1994Date of Patent: August 15, 1995Assignee: Aircast, Inc.Inventors: Glenn W.
