| 20120012104 | Post lipoplasty imbilical support - Using liposuction in abdominal cosmetic surgery gives in most cases, excellent aesthetic results. One problem associated with abdominal liposuction however, is the poor skin retraction just above the umbilicus (belly button) despite the fact that after all liposuction surgeries patients are wearing the compressive garment that is suppose to help with the skin retraction and the final satisfactory cosmetic result. However, in most cases, the umbilicus becomes covered by the surrounding abdominal skin thus, giving the umbilicus an uneven, unpleasant appearance and leaving patients and doctors alike disappointed by the final result. | 01-19-2012 |

The acoustically transparent member is bound to the human abdomen by virtue of the adhesive fastening of the buckling strip and the adhesive strip. The pushing member employs a hydraulic system. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20150034074 | Vulvar Varicosity Supporter - A vulvar varicosity supporter that firmly attaches to an existing maternity support belt or back support belt in such a way that it can provide significant force on the vulva, and, in an embodiment, comprises a pocket for an insertable pad that can increase the pressure on the vulva. | 02-05-2015 |
| 128990100 | Support | 4 |
| 20090255531 | Portable system for assisting body movement - The present invention provides a differential pressure body suit with external support against body suit migration. In its preferred embodiment, such body suit may comprise a close-fitting, multi-layered suit sealed against a mammal's skin to contain the differential pressure, or a looser-fitting suit that bends at the mammal's joints with minimal force. External support means include either fixed or movable mechanical supports attached to the body suit, extraordinary air pressure levels for making the body suit rigid, or exoskeletons attached to the body suit. A cyclic control system can turn the differential pressure condition within the body suit on and off on a selective basis to accommodate the movement of the legs of the mammal. This differential pressure body suit provides a portable and convenient system for, e.g., rehabilitating a skeletal joint injury or training the mammal for injury prevention or athletic performance. The pressurization reduces the weight of the body to greater or lesser extents, and offloads the weight to the ground through the external support means. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20110253130 | Bikers lap belt - The Bikers Lap Belt, hereafter known as the belt, was road tested for two (2) years. It was found that when wearing the belt on long motorcycle trips (200 miles or more), the experienced motorcycle rider of about fifty four (54) years of age, found the following to be true: The rider had less muscle fatigue in the upper and lower back, no pain in the hips, and no fatigue in the legs. The motorcycle was easier to control in windy conditions at high speeds, especially when passing large trucks requiring less muscle movement of the legs. Muscle tension was less in all conditions. When riding without the belt, the rider experienced upper back pain and fatigue, substantial hip pain at the end of several hours of riding, and severe overall body fatigue. The belt gives riders the ability to ride longer with more comfort and less joint or muscle pain. | 10-20-2011 |

The outer side of each pad is connected to one or more straps having a first and corresponding second end. A fastener is attached to the first end of each strap and a corresponding second fastener attaches to the second end of each strap. The apparatus also includes a constricting device (such as a ratchet) located on or proximate to one pad sufficient to create a compression force through each strap when the first and corresponding second fasteners connect to one another. The corresponding method includes the steps of placing one or more pads proximate to the hips, affixing each pad to each strap, connecting both ends of the straps to each other and creating necessary compression. | 07-09-2009 |
