Multi-Functional Sand-filled Pad can be used for both Heating as well as Cold Therapy

Posted on by

After Ergostone’s runaway success last year, the company is back with the Ergostone Pebble, a smaller version of its heating sleeve. Designed as a compact, more versatile ‘pouch’, the Ergostone Pebble is just as user-friendly as its longer sibling. Its core consists of a fine-grained sand from soapstone, a unique natural mineral that gives the product exceptional heating and cooling properties to comfort any part of your body. The tactile soapstone sand inside its smooth shell of silicone, lets the Pebble softly conform to your body, while still retaining its heat or coldness.

Hot and cold therapy every day, wherever you are.

Instant aid for sports injuries, and long-term rehabilitation treatments.

The Ergostone Pebble is perfect for people looking for instant relief after a tough day at the gym, or after long strenuous hours sitting in an office chair. Its ability to be used as a hot or cold compress makes it uniquely multifunctional, helping relieve sore muscles and cramps, boost blood-flow, undo muscular knots, soothe bone injuries, or just keep you warm or cool. The compact form factor is perfect for heating in your microwave or fridge, for carrying to work, or just keeping in your travel bag for trips. The pebble-shaped form and flexible outer shell make it comfortable to place on any part of the body… more so when combined with an add-on strap that lets you secure the Ergostone Pebble to your shoulder, knee, etc.

The Ergostone Pebble is not your typical water-filled or gel-filled product. Instead, it comes filled with fine sand made from soapstone. Soapstone, known for its exceptional thermal-retention properties finds itself extensively used across Scandinavian culture. The folks behind the Ergostone build on these properties, infusing the soapstone sand into a compress or pad that can be conveniently heated in a microwave or regular oven, or cooled in a freezer.

Ergostone sources its soapstone from an old disused stone mine, putting the healing properties of the Scandinavian mountain quite literally in your palms. The soapstone sand is encased in a high-quality plastic-free silicone sleeve that’s comfortable on the skin, easy to clean with water or soap (or hand sanitizer), and is even recyclable. The Ergostone Pebble can directly be placed in the microwave or the oven to heat it up, or stashed in the freezer to chill it. It’s built to last too, as the soapstone sand on the inside retains its thermal properties indefinitely, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of the Pebble for many decades to come, in effect, echoing the principles of sustainability. Designed and made in Sweden, the Ergostone Pebble is a typical example of the modern Scandinavian design tradition of combining functionality with minimalistic forms with inspiration from the Nordic nature. The Ergostone Pebble starts at a discounted price of €65 ($70 USD), or you could grab a pair for €130 ($140 USD).

Sweden-based Ergostone is taking soapstone, a mining by-product, and turning it into an ergonomic and sustainable wellness product.

Meet Ergostone, a heating pad that looks and feels nothing like the heating pads you’re used to. Instead of being filled with water, wheat, or gel the Ergostone is filled with a fine sand made from soapstone. Soapstone has unique thermal-retention properties, and is excavated in large amounts during mining activities. Ergostone simply turns that wasted mineral into a compress or pad that can be quickly heated in a microwave or normal oven, or cooled in a freezer. Suspended in a silicone sleeve, the Ergostone can then be placed on parts of your body or even wrapped around joints or limbs and used as either a hot or cold compress. Aside from providing relief through temperature, the pad also weighs roughly 4.4 lbs (2 kilograms) doubling up as a relaxation weight to help reduce stress and anxiety.

The Ergostone isn’t your average heating pad. In fact, it isn’t quite a pad either. With its organic shape inspired by a smooth beach pebble, the Ergostone has the unique ability to maneuver around your body and wrap around your limbs or drape over your shoulder, thigh, etc.

The flexible silicone sleeve and fine soapstone sand on the inside allow the Ergostone to take on any shape to provide comfort and support for long periods of time. The silicone sleeve itself helps comfortably disperse hot or cold temperatures while the soapstone’s thermal abilities allow it to work for long sessions. With its minimalist design that prioritizes the user experience over everything, the Ergostone is Scandinavian Design at its best!

Using the Ergostone is simple. It heats up quickly in the microwave or in a regular oven, or can alternatively be stashed in your freezer to cool it down. When heated up, the Ergostone works well for pain relief, cramps, muscle pulls, and general stiffness. In its cooled-down avatar, the Ergostone doubles as a cryotherapy device for swelling reduction or sports injuries. At 4.4 lbs, it can even be used as is for weight therapy or for weight training!

The Ergostone is designed and manufactured in Sweden using upcycled mining waste. Soapstone is often used to make utensils, working with properties comparable to cast iron. However, in excavating large soapstone rocks and boulders, a lot of the smaller pieces end up getting discarded as waste. Ergostone uses these tinier pieces, pulverizing them into a fine sand before filling them into durable, ergonomic sleeves made from petrol-free recyclable silicone. The Ergostone’s construction makes it practically last a lifetime, and the soapstone sand on the inside doesn’t lose its thermal properties over time, letting you benefit from the Ergostone for decades to come. Each Ergostone starts at a discounted price tag of $86, and promises the kind of versatility that you’d get from a heat pack and a cold pack combined!

This modular medical wearable uses dual-light therapy to heal knee injuries and relieve joint pain

Posted on by

Relying on both LED and laser light therapy together, the Reviiv Knee+ helps increase blood flow to damaged tissues around your knee, relieving pain and rehabilitating your joints. Packaged into a modular design that straps directly around your knee, the Knee+ takes on a more up-and-close approach by placing the LED and medical-grade laser panels right against your skin for deeper light penetration to your joints and muscle tissue to ensure fast relief and recovery.

Designer: Reviiv Design Labs

Packaged in a 3-part design that’s easy to disassemble for portability, and easy to adjust based on your knee shape/size, the Knee+ comes equipped with adjustable magnetic bands (viewers will be quick to notice the prototype uses Apple Watch Nike-edition bands) that let you easily and intuitively wear the device around your knee, targeting the pain-points directly by positioning the light-panels right on top of the pain zones. 2 in 5 people suffer from chronic knee pain in their life either because of an over or underactive lifestyle (age, location, and bad genetics all play a role too), and the Knee+ helps relieve that pain while also boosting recovery.

The Knee+ uses dual-light therapy, relying on 650nm deep red LED lights to work on the surface level, and 808nm near-infrared laser lights to travel deep into your tissues and joints for better internal healing. The infrared waves emitted by these lights help dilate blood vessels, increasing blood flow to damaged tissues while decreasing regional inflammatory cytokines. Light therapy (or photobiomodulation) also helps by enhancing mitochondrial function, regenerating damaged cells faster and more effectively to boost the healing process. The device works equally well for athletes after a strenuous workout, or people who’ve had muscle/ligament injuries or sprains, as well as for people with chronic joint pain as a result of age, weight, or even suffering from arthritis.

The Reviiv Knee+ is designed to be compact and easy to carry (it’s small enough to fit into a gym bag or even in a drawer on your bedside table. The device is modular, adjustable, and entirely wireless, using a battery-powered design and a magnetic charging dock to make using, recharging, and traveling with your Knee+ easier too. The Knee+ can be used by anyone and doesn’t require guidance from a medical expert. The device calibrates its own dosage cycles so you don’t have to, and costs under $300, giving you relief without needing to spend ten times the amount on surgery, physiotherapy, or medication.

This pain-relief gadget will clear up your sinus without any pills!

Posted on by

We are in the midst of a pandemic and even a single cough can send our brains into overthinking but I am just here to remind you that seasonal allergies still exist. Yes, pollen is still coming out during COVID-19 (very insensitive of it) – remember that the next time you sneeze so you can avoid the anxiety. We may not have a vaccine for the virus but we do have a solution for your sinus problems – ClearUp!

When sinus hits, we are willing to do anything to breathe normally again. It doesn’t just cause pain in the nose but also your head, temples, and even teeth! ClearUp (FDA approved) was designed to help alleviate the discomfort and provide a long-term solution instead of taking pills every time the season changes. It emits gently microcurrent waves when you glide the gadget over the affected area to reduce the pain and keep it all clear for up to 6 hours. This is especially beneficial if you deal with chronic rhinitis or year-long allergies which means a lot of medication that you can now get rid of. ClearUp’s study shows that 72% of the users got relief after using the device and 82% preferred it over medicines. It also eliminates the hassle of constantly having to clean or sterilize nasal sprays etc.

Constantly buying pills can be expensive and your body becomes immune to it slowly which means you need stronger doses – that is not a good long-term health solution. ClearUp wanted to provide a chemical and drug-free solution to sinus and sinus related issues. It also eliminates the hassle of constantly having to clean or sterilize nasal sprays etc. Charge with the usual USB-C charger and you’re good to go!

The futuristic pain-killing bandage

Posted on by

The iTENS healing patch looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. It sticks itself onto your body and magically dissipates any pain you may be experiencing. This butterfly-esque wearable comes with an electronic hub and two wings. Using a gel sticker, these wings safely adhere to the body like an electro-therapeutic band-aid. When switched on, the hub transmits mild electric currents through the muscles, a technique called Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), it alleviates muscular pain. The iTENS can be applied to any part of the body that is experiencing fatigue, and can be wirelessly controlled via your smartphone.

On the design front, the iTENS does a lot to look incredibly futuristic, yet familiar and friendly. It sticks onto you like a Band-Aid from the future, while the color gradients make it look like they’ll make you feel pain-free and alive in no time. In a world where we senselessly pop pills for the smallest of reasons, the iTENS ditches the harmful painkillers for an absolutely non-invasive, safe pain relief technique that anyone can use to relieve pains ranging from arthritis, to back pain, to even frequent muscle pulls. Don’t push those pills, just push a button!
