The design of this product is inspired by volcanic eruptions, creatively introducing the characteristics of soft robotics into the anti-itch product category. It features a multifunctional, modular, human-machine interaction system that primarily promotes blood circulation through a combination of "physical pressure and heat application.

By constructing a soft, stretchable actuator, the product seamlessly integrates five key components: an air pump, drive module, airbag, motor, and air chamber. Leveraging cutting-edge industry technology, it enables the device to intelligently identify different types of swelling, offering users a precise anti-itch solution.

The sleek, minimalist exterior design takes into account both aesthetic preferences and ease of use. Made from premium silicone, the product aligns with modern society's commitment to sustainability while its excellent flexibility allows for a uniquely appealing form.

During operation, the outer shell undergoes subtle deformation, with contraction frequency matching that of the airbag, serving not only as an indicator of operational status but also adding a touch of technological sophistication. Positioned on either side of the airbag are carefully designed locator lights and cameras, allowing users to quickly and accurately target the affected skin, significantly improving efficiency.

The internal chamber adheres tightly to the skin through negative pressure, ensuring stability during use. The textured airbag applies rhythmic pressure to mosquito bites, delivering outstanding anti-itch results. Additionally, the product features a mosquito-repelling function, providing users with comprehensive protection.
