Abstract
A dual modality system includes a chassis having a receptacle and means to couple the chassis to a desired treatment area of a user's body; a durable energy subsystem coupled to the chassis, arranged and configured to deliver energy to the desired treatment area of a user's body; and a replaceable thermal subsystem arranged and configured for removable placement in the receptacle of the chassis, arranged and configured to deliver thermal energy.
Claims19
A kit for independent delivery of two distinct energy modalities to a mammalian body comprising:
- (a) a durable energy subsystem arranged and configured to deliver energy;
- (b) a packet containing a replaceable thermal subsystem arranged and configured to deliver thermal energy, the replaceable thermal subsystem arranged and configured to be removed from the packet and subsequently coupled to the durable energy subsystem;
- and
- (c) means to couple the durable energy subsystem and the replaceable thermal subsystem to a desired treatment area of a user's body.
A dual modality system for independent delivery of two distinct energy modalities to a mammalian body comprising:
- (a) a chassis having a receptacle and means to couple the chassis to a desired treatment area of a user's body;
- (b) a durable energy subsystem coupled to the chassis, arranged and configured to deliver energy to the desired treatment area of a user's body;
- and
- (c) a replaceable thermal subsystem arranged and configured for removable placement in the receptacle of the chassis, arranged and configured to deliver thermal energy.
A dual modality system for independent delivery of two distinct energy modalities to a mammalian body comprising:
- (a) a chassis having a receptacle and means to couple the chassis to a desired treatment area of a user's body;
- (b) a durable energy subsystem comprising one or more physical motion emitters selected from the group consisting of ultrasound, vibration, and combinations thereof coupled to the chassis, arranged and configured to deliver energy to the desired treatment area of a user's body;
- and
- (c) a replaceable thermal subsystem arranged and configured for removable placement in the receptacle of the chassis, arranged and configured to deliver thermal energy.
