A skin treatment device comprising a light source providing a light beam for optically treating skin, a wheel with a wheel surface for reflecting the light beam towards the skin, driving means for rotating the wheel and changing an angular position of the wheel, where different angular positions of the wheel correspond to different directions of reflection for the light beam, an angular position detector for detecting the angular position of the wheel, storage means for storing predefined skin-treatment patterns, a relation between the different angular positions of the wheel; and different reflection directions of the light beam, a control circuit coupled to the light source. The light source being controlled in dependence on the detected angular position such that, for each revolution of the wheel, the light beam is controlled to only illuminate the wheel surface in selected angular positions of the wheel to realize a predefined skin-treatment pattern.

Skin treatment device

There is provided an adaptor for forming an electrical connection between a medical device having a first type of connector and an electrode having a second type of connector. The adaptor has a first connecting part shaped to cooperate with a corresponding connecting part on one of the medical device and the electrode so as to form a mechanical and electrical connection therebetween. The adaptor further has a second connecting part having a portion of magnetic or ferromagnetic material arranged to be magnetically attracted to a corresponding magnet or portion of ferromagnetic material included in a magnetic connector part on the other of the medical device and the electrode, so as to form a magnetic and electrical connection therebetween. The first connecting part is electrically connected to the second connecting part.

Adaptor

There is provided a magnetic connector assembly comprising a first connector part () defining a first connection surface () and a second connector part () defining a second connection surface (), the second connector part being connectable to the first connector part, wherein when the first connector part () and the second connector part () are connected they define a connection region over which the first connection surface () overlaps the second connection surface (), such that an electrical signal may be transmitted between at least part of the first connection surface and at least part of the second connection surface in the connection region; and at least one of the first connector part () and the second connector part () comprises a magnet and at least the other of the first connector part and the second connector part comprises magnetisable material (), such that when the first connector part and the second connector part are connected, the first and second connection surfaces () are attracted to each other by a magnetic force; and wherein the first and second connector parts () are arranged such that the magnetic force between the first and second connection surfaces () is substantially weaker in a first part of the connection region than in a second part of the connection region.
