Therapeutic devices for the treatment of various conditions of a female individual
This invention relates to devices targeted to resolving various conditions of a female patient in need thereof, the conditions being female sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence. The present disclosure provides for a device which incorporates a variety of elements in an effort to treat certain conditions of a female individual in need thereof. Optionally, the device of the present invention may be used as prophylactic measure to prevent a condition selected from the group consisting of female sexual dysfunction and urinary incontinence.
1. A multifunctional handheld device, comprising:
a suction element;
a vibratory element; and
an oscillatory element, wherein said elements are housed in a housing unit and electronically controlled through a microprocessor and circuitry.
2. The multifunctional device of claim 1 , wherein said elements are powered by a motor within the housing unit, wherein said motor delivers a degree of force to said elements, and wherein modulation of force being controllable by the device operator from a device interface on the exterior of said housing unit to operate said elements.
3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the motor applies a force through the suction element, the force modulated via said interface.
4. The device of claim 2 , wherein the motor applies a force through the vibratory element, the force modulated via said interface.
5. The device of claim 2 , wherein the motor applies a force through the oscillatory element, the force modulated via said interface.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein at least one element is adapted to be applied to the genital region in order to stimulate genital region blood flow in a female individual in need thereof.
7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the elements are individually modulated by the device operator using an interface located on the exterior of the device.
8. The device of claim 7 , wherein said interface is selected from the group consisting of a wheel, track, button and a node.
9. A method for treating female sexual dysfunction in an individual in need thereof, the method comprising:
providing the handheld multifunctional device of claim 1 ;
applying said multifunctional device to the genital region of said individual; and
stimulating blood flow to said genital region.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said elements are powered by a motor within the housing unit in a device interior delivering a particular degree of force to the elements, with modulation of said force being controlled by the device operator from a device interface on the exterior of said housing unit to operate the elements.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the motor applies a force through at least one of said elements via an interface.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the stimulation of blood flow increases the orgasmic potential of said individual.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the elements are individually modulated by the device operator using an interface located on the exterior of said device.
14. A method of treating urinary incontinence in a female patient in need thereof; comprising:
providing the handheld multifunctional device of claim 1 ;
applying said multifunctional device to the genital region of said female patient; and
stimulating blood flow to said genital region; and
encouraging contraction of the vaginal and pelvic floor muscles; wherein said contraction alleviates symptoms of female urinary incontinence.
15. A method of promoting female sexual enhancement, comprising:
providing the handheld multifunctional device of claim 1 ;
applying said multifunctional device to the genital region of said female patient; and
stimulating blood flow to said genital region; wherein said stimulation promotes female sexual enhancement.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein said device further comprises a motor within the housing unit wherein said motor delivers a particular degree of force to the suction, vibratory, and oscillatory elements, with modulation of said force being controlled by the device operator from a device interface on the exterior of said housing unit to operate the elements.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the motor applies a force through at least one of said elements via an interface.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the stimulation of blood flow increases the orgasmic potential of said individual.
19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the elements are individually modulated by the device operator using an interface located on the exterior of said device.
