The present invention relates generally to a support structure for fixating a patient to a treatment unit, and especially to a support structure for fixating the patient to a cardiopulmonary resuscitation unit. An embodiment of the support structure (10) comprises a back plate (100) for positioning behind said patient's back posterior to said patient's heart and a front part (200) for positioning around said patient's chest anterior to said patient's heart. Further, the front part (200) can comp...

A massage apparatus system for providing an automatic simulated sexual action is disclosed. The massage apparatus system includes an inflatable mattress defining a distal portion and a proximal portion with the distal portion defining a recess and an inflatable housing having a massage apparatus disposed therein which includes an output shaft engaged to a prosthetic member. Operation of the massage apparatus causes the prosthetic member to move in a reciprocating manner such that a simulated sex...

Rod-shaped massaging appliance with an essentially cylindrical end piece, with a wall or shell made of a rubber-elastic material forming the outer surface of the end piece and with a drive unit for generating movement on the end piece.

A body rubbing device has a housing having a lower side adapted to face a body part to be acted upon and an upper side, the housing having an upper surface which is upwardly convex and is elongated in a longitudinal direction to define a substantially oval shape, the upper convex surface being formed so that a palm of a user's hand can rest on the upper convex surface, a handle placeable between fingers of the user's palm and extending substantially over a part of the housing, the housing also h...

A soaking apparatus utilizing a soaking basin and a disposable liner configured to fit within the basin cavity. The basin is comprised of a material layer formed to define an integral floor and a peripheral wall projecting upwardly therefrom. The basin floor and peripheral wall together define the boundary of a basin cavity. An elongate protrusion protrudes from the floor into the basin cavity between left and right foot areas. The liner is comprised of a thin (e.g., 3-12 mils) material layer fo...

An improved air pulse generator produces high frequency chest wall oscillations (HFCWO) and has an improved air pulse generator. The air pulse module has a reduced size and improved shape for ease of use by a patient.

An apparatus for massaging calves is able to adjust a distance between two plates, the apparatus having at least two plates that are arranged at a distance from one another and that come into contact with the calf during massage on both sides thereof, and having a drive shaft, the plates being connected to the drive shaft by coupling members in such a manner that a rotational movement of the drive shaft brings about a movement of the plates for carrying out the calf massage. A distance adjusting...

The invention relates to a walker having a main supporting frame, a superstructure frame and a body support means. The superstructure frame is operatively arranged for vertical adjustment relative to the main supporting frame and includes an adjustable interior opening for accommodating a user and an entrance gate operatively arranged to provide access to the adjustable interior opening. The body support means is secured to the superstructure frame and operatively arranged to support the user. F...

An air-tight foam-filled bladder is used for varying massage intensity in a massage chair, massage mat, or other massage device. The bladder may be compressed from a default or relaxed thickness by evacuating air from the bladder. The thickness of the foam-filled bladder may be reduced to a collapsed thickness in which the foam is compressed within the bladder. In use, the foam-filled bladder is placed proximate a conventional fixed massage mechanism in a massage device, such as in the back rest...
