Abstract: Therapeutic devices and methods according to embodiments of the invention alleviate e.g. urinary incontinence in female and male patients. Suction or vacuum, for example, is applied to the genital region, clitoris or clitoral region, the external urethral orifice, and/or other designated areas, e.g. physically stimulating the sacral/pudendal nerves and/or nerve roots and alleviating incontinence. Such embodiments also can encourage or cause clitoral engorgement, or otherwise promote blood flow in the genital region. Vacuum or suction applied to e.g. the clitoris creates a negative pressure in the clitoris that is lower than the systolic blood pressure, tending to promote engorgement of the clitoris with blood. Aspects of the invention are applicable not only to treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence, but also to the treatment of female sexual dysfunction. Aspects of the invention are also applicable to treatment of male incontinence and male erectile dysfunction.

Abstract: A vibrating massage furniture cushion and a method for making such cushion is provided. The cushion is created by enclosing an electric motor-driven vibrator in a flexible material, such as a shrink-wrap plastic material, suspending the vibrator within a cushion-making form and creating the foam cushion by reacting one or more foam precursor chemicals within the form. As the foam is created, it automatically envelopes the vibrator, thereby rigidly retaining the vibrator in place within the cushion. Because the vibrator has been surrounded with the thin flexible material, the foam cannot enter the motor area during the foam creation step. Therefore, the foam creation step does not damage the motor or otherwise make it inoperable. The invention provides a simple and efficient way of making cushion-containing vibration massage articles without having to go through the step of sculpting out a recess for the vibrator within a finished cushion article.
