The present invention relates to a laser surgery therapeutic apparatus of high power, dual wavelength and continuous pumping for flash evaporating and therapying soft tissue of human body and a method therefor. The dual wavelength laser generates synchronously laser pulse sequence of visible high power second harmonic of thousands of Hertz and near infrared middle-low power fundamental wave. When the laser is used for prostate operation, the prostate operation will be more hemostatic by using near infrared middle-low power 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser, and the body of prostate with hyperplastic symptom can be extremely effectively removed and evaporated by double frequency 532 nm green laser with high power, so that the urethra can be enlarged.

A composition for use in treating soft tissue in a living creature with a bulking material prepared in situ from a composition of an addition curable polysiloxane system.

A massage head comprised of a contoured edge shaped to conform to and capture specific areas of the human body for use in soft tissue therapy by perpendicular attachment to a vibratory massage appliance. The perpendicular attachment of the massage head provides both surface and deep tissue action in any proportion and the contoured shape of the massage head focuses percussive motion of the vibratory massage appliance on afflicted soft tissues, resulting in enhanced therapeutic effect.

The present disclosure is directed to a soft tissue massage device that includes a compliant cylindrical core or cylinder formed of compressible material, the cylinder having an external surface with at least one pair of bulbous protrusions or orbicular sections that cooperate to form a symmetrical central valley having sloped sides. A second pair of bulbous protrusions or orbicular sections is formed on the core that cooperate with the first pair of bulbous protrusions or orbicular sections to form first and second valleys that are asymmetrical. Smaller knobs are formed, preferably over the entire surface of the core, including the first and second pairs of bulbous protrusions or orbicular sections. An axle with hand grips may be utilized to achieve different effects.
