Abstract
A therapeutic device and a method of making a therapeutic device. The therapeutic device has a body portion having a first end, a second end, a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion interposed between the first and second end portions. Extending inward into at least a portion of the body portion of the therapeutic device from at least a portion of the first end of the therapeutic device is a receiving portion. At least a portion of a surface defining the receiving portion has a shape needed to apply a suction force onto another object needed to secure at least a portion of the object within the receiving portion of the therapeutic device.
Claims14
A therapeutic device, comprising:
- a first body portion having a first end, a second end, a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion interposed between the first and second end portions;
- and
- a receiving portion is at least partially defined by the first body portion from at least a portion of the first end, wherein at least a portion of an inner surface of the receiving portion is configured to be in direct facing contact with an object at least partially disposed within the receiving portion to provide at least a partial vacuum between the at least a portion of the inner surface of the receiving portion and at least a portion of the object at least partially disposed within the receiving portion of the therapeutic device;
- wherein the inner surface of the receiving portion is a sole device of the first body portion adapted to provide the partial vacuum;
- wherein the first body portion is symmetrical about a longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end,
- wherein an opening in the first end is the sole opening in the first body portion, wherein the opening is adapted to selectively receive the object,
- wherein the inner surface angles away from the longitudinal axis at a substantially constant angle from the opening to the second end portion,
- wherein a wall thickness of the first body portion between the inner surface of the receiving portion and an outer surface of the first body portion is variable across a length of the therapeutic device and the wall thickness is sufficient to retain the shape of the first body portion.
A therapeutic device, comprising:
- a first body portion having a first end, a second end, a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion interposed between the first and second end portions;
- and
- a receiving portion is at least partially defined by the first body portion, wherein at least a portion of an inner surface of the receiving portion is configured to be in direct facing contact with an object at least partially disposed within the receiving portion to exert an amount of suction force on at least a portion of the object at least partially disposed within the receiving portion of the therapeutic device,
- wherein an opening in the first end is the sole opening in the first body portion, wherein the opening is adapted to selectively receive the object,
- wherein the inner surface angles away from the longitudinal axis at a substantially constant angle from the opening to the second end portion,
- wherein a wall thickness of the first body portion between the inner surface of the receiving portion and an outer surface of the first body portion is variable across a length of the therapeutic device and the wall thickness is sufficient to retain the shape of the first body portion.
A method of forming a therapeutic device, comprising the steps of:
- providing one or more mould members, a first component, a second component, and at least one core member;
- weighing an amount of the first component and an amount of the second component to produce a pre-determined ratio;
- mixing the amount of the first component with the amount of the second component to form a mixture thereof;
- and
- allowing the mixture of the first component and the second component to cure to form a therapeutic device, wherein the therapeutic device has formed therein a first end,
- a second end, a first end portion, a second end portion, and
- a receiving portion having an inner surface, wherein at least a portion of the inner surface of the receiving portion is configured to selectively generate at least a partial vacuum, wherein said inner surface is placed in direct facing contact with an object to be inserted into an only opening in the receiving portion to create the partial vacuum;
- wherein the inner surface angles away from a longitudinal axis at a substantially constant angle from the opening to the second end portion,
- wherein a wall thickness of the first body portion between the inner surface of the receiving portion and an outer surface of the first body portion is variable across a length of the therapeutic device and the wall thickness is sufficient to retain the shape of the first body portion.
