  • Patent number: 11672728
    Abstract: A selectable impact tip system for use with a percussion massager includes multiple flexible and interchangeable massage tips having variable internal geometries. The variable internal geometries of the flexible and interchangeable tips cause different impact forces during use when used with the reciprocating piston and the removable and hollow shaft of the percussion massager.

  • Patent number: 11484463
    Abstract: A compression wave massage device for body parts is described, particularly for erogenous zones such as the clitoris, including a pressure field generation device and a drive device. The pressure field generation device has a cavity with a first end and a second end, located opposite the first end and distanced from the first end, with the first end being provided with at least one opening for placement on a body part. The drive device causes a change of the volume of the cavity between a minimal volume and a maximal volume such that in at least one opening a stimulating pressure field is generated. The cavity is formed by a single chamber, and the ratio of the volume change to the minimal volume is not below 1/10, preferably not below 1/8.

  • Patent number: 8500662
    Abstract: A power device for visual care includes a circuit control fixed with a pneumatic cylinder. The circuit control panel includes a homing sensor, a positive air pressure micro switch and a negative air pressure micro switch respectively correspond to the homing position, the utmost positive air pressure position and the utmost negative air pressure position of a piston unit. The circuit control panel further includes a guide member with an inductive part. Accordingly, when the power unit is activated, a power screw drives the piston unit to bring the inductive part of the guide member to the homing sensor for return-to-zero setting, and to bring it to touch the positive air pressure micro switch and the negative air pressure micro switch so as to provide proper positive air pressure and negative air pressure for visual care.

  • Patent number: 8070696
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7731702
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5441533
    Abstract: 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.
