A peelable lid system includes a peelable lid, a seal configured to seal the peelable lid to a container, a handle coupled to the peelable lid, and a lifting mechanism coupled to handle. The lifting mechanism can be coupled to the peelable lid at a plurality of attachment points, including at least one attachment point coupled to the peelable lid away from the handle. The lifting mechanism can be configured to lift at least one portion of the peelable lid near each of the plurality of attachment points.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for electronic control of an operating level of an oral irrigator, particularly when flow from the oral irrigator is paused. Methods for controlling an operational level include: determining an operational level of the oral irrigator, including whether the operational level is a standby mode; receiving sensor data from one or more sensors; determining whether a key sensor indicator is above, below, or at a threshold. If the key sensor indicator is above a threshold, the operational level is changed to standby mode. If the key sensor indicator is at or below the threshold, the operational level remains at the current level. If the key sensor indicator is below the threshold, and the current operational level is the standby mode, the operational level is changed to the operational level set before entering standby mode.

Therapy heads and related medical systems having an actuation assembly for controlling the position/orientation of a directional energy applicator in at least two planes are disclosed. A therapy head includes an enclosure, a partition separating a lower compartment from an upper compartment, an aperture in the partition, a control arm extending through the aperture, an actuation assembly positioned within the upper compartment, and a directional energy applicator positioned in the lower compartment for transmitting energy through a window. The control arm includes an upper end disposed within the upper compartment and a lower end disposed within the lower compartment. The actuation assembly is coupled with the upper end of the control arm such that the control arm is movable by the actuation assembly in at least two planes. The directional energy applicator is coupled with the lower end of the control arm.
