| 601007000 | With means for attaching diverse devices to vacuum | 6 |
| 20080269650 | Vacuum pressure regulator for human body treatment devices - One or more embodiments of the presently described invention provide a vacuum pressure regulator including a spring, a knob, a housing, a chamber and a diaphragm. The spring encircles the knob and is capable of being compressed when the knob is rotated in one direction. The chamber and diaphragm are located inside the housing. A seal is formed when the compression of the spring creates a spring force that pushes at least a part of the diaphragm against a sealing surface of the chamber. This seal enables the chamber to maintain or hold a vacuum pressure for more than a transitory time period. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20130211295 | 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. 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. | 08-15-2013 |
| 20130226043 | SLIMMING APPARATUS - A slimming device operates by improving cutaneous circulation during activity in the fat burning pulse range carried out on endurance training equipment. The device includes a main body with a fastening element in the form of a sleeve which has at least two chambers that are independent of one another and that can be supplied with a fluid independently of one another. The device can be applied to different body parts and has a belt which is designed with at least two separate chambers, at least one pump for producing the alternating pressure load and a fastening sleeve which press the main body onto the human body in order to start the operation of the pressure chamber. | 08-29-2013 |
| 20140135664 | AIRWAY DEVICE WITH TONGUE-ENGAGING MEMBER - An oral device for improving airway patency comprises a base adapted to be held between a patient's upper and lower teeth and a tongue-engaging member. The tongue-engaging member engages the tongue and displaces the tongue anteriorly when the base is held between the patient's teeth. A vacuum is applied through the base and the tongue-engaging member in order to draw the soft palate against a posterior region of the tongue in order to stabilize the soft palate and open or clear the patient's airway. | 05-15-2014 |
| 20140155791 | MEDICAL DRAPE WITH PATTERN ADHESIVE LAYERS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME - A medical drape for use with a reduced pressure system for providing reduced pressure to a tissue site is described. In some embodiments, the drape may include a flexible film, and an adhesive layer coupled to the flexible film. The adhesive layer may include a first adhesive disposed on a first portion of the flexible film in a first pattern. The first adhesive can be configured to secure the flexible film proximate to the tissue site. The adhesive layer generally includes a second adhesive disposed on a second portion of the flexible film in a second pattern. The second adhesive can be configured to seal the flexible film proximate to the tissue site. The first pattern and the second pattern are preferably registered so that the first portion and the second portion are offset to cover substantially different portions of the flexible film. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20140171837 | VACUUM CAST ("VAC-CAST") AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF PLANTAR WOUNDS - A combination of four wound care products include (1) a wound vacuum dressing providing a more sterile cover over the wound to prevent infection, provide a closed system to prevent maceration and soiling from drainage to the surrounding skin and peg insole pad, to introduce and maintain negative pressure, to decrease excessive fluid to the wound(s) and provide an environment to increase granulation and epithelialization; (2) a compression hose for additional support to the lower leg, ankle, and foot, aiding in proper fluid pressure control in the lower extremity and protects against friction of the contact cast against the lower extremity; (3) a removable peg insole foot insert offloading pressure and friction from the wound as well as providing a pressure free pathway to the ankle connection point which prevents obstruction, and (4) a total contact cast with inner padding layer to further off load pressure from the wound(s). | 06-19-2014 |
