The invention provides a personal micro-climate system that reduces the energy requirement to keep a person cool by providing a personal air-conditioned space specially for bed-ridden patients. A dome is provided to create a personal space that just cools the area where the patient is at avoiding wasting energy in cooling the room's floor, ceiling, walls and empty space. The cooling system can be energized through solar power, deep cycle battery packs, small power plant or through a combination thereof. The system allows for the movement of an automatic or semi-automatic bed. A transparent cover is stretched over a frame structure to allow for maximum visibility from the inside out and vice versa. The system allows ease of opening an attendant window for patient care or to help a bedridden patient in an emergency. Breathing tubes, feeding tubes, IV lines, sensors and cables can be fed into the dome through openings between a mattress cover and the micro-climate dome. The personal microclimate system serves as a positive or negative personal isolation chamber provided with high-efficiency particulate air filters and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation systems. An anteroom can be added next to the micro-climate dome and/or a secondary larger structure may be added to enclose the micro-climate dome.

This application relates to a cooling device that sprays a coolant received from a coolant reservoir toward a target region to cool the target region. In one aspect, the cooling device includes a spraying unit from which the coolant is sprayed, a valve configured to regulate a flow of the coolant, and a control unit configured to control opening and closing of the valve, wherein, when cooling starts. The control unit controls a first cooling mode in which a temperature of the target region is decreased and a second cooling mode in which the temperature of the target region is maintained in a predetermined temperature range to be sequentially performed.

The present invention provides improved devices for removing energy and fluid from body fluid containing spaces and surfaces of a mammal, the devices including isolated air and water delivery systems configured to simultaneously deliver streams of dry air and liquid water to the nostrils of a patient, without allowing the streams to come into contact with one-another until it enters the patient's nostrils.

A body cooling system including a housing having a top portion, side portions, and a bottom portion. The top portion and the bottom portion include at least one opening. Additionally, the body cooling system includes at least one mesh layer and an absorbent layer at least partially surrounded by the mesh layer.

An improved gas delivery system for a cryochamber that increases the efficiency, efficacy, and safety of cryotherapy treatments is disclosed. The system incorporates a high pressure cryogenic liquid source and a plurality of fluid discharge orifices for conveying fluid into the chamber. The orifices may further comprise atomizing nozzles, which eliminate the need for a heater in the system. The orifices are dispersed about the chamber and positioned to convey fluid either clockwise or counterclockwise about a central vertical axis of the chamber to promote cyclonic gas motion. The cryochamber may further comprise shielding that reduces the risks associated with inadvertent liquid discharge. The orifices may also be positioned at varying heights in the chamber and have varying diameters to facilitate targeted cryotherapy treatments. The improved gas delivery system enables the cryochamber to achieve the same or improved therapeutic benefits while consuming less cryogenic liquid per treatment and less energy.

An ozone and contrast therapy system including an enclosure defining an interior volume, a steam system having a steam dispenser for releasing steam within the interior volume, a cold shower system having a shower head for releasing cold water within the interior volume over a user, and an ozone system having a nozzle for releasing ozone into the interior volume.

The present invention is directed to a body temperature controlling system comprising at least one member receiving a flow of gas from at least one blower in communication with said at least one member, said at least one member directing said flow of gas onto a wearer thereof.

A mouth cooler is provided. The mouth cooler comprises a first peripheral cooling winding shaped and dimensioned to cool the lower and upper jaw, and at least one second cooling winding in arrangement with the peripheral cooling winding shaped and dimensioned to cool at least the blood entry to the tongue.

A treatment system delivers a breathing gas and frozen ice or other particles (FSP) to a bronchus of a lung of a patient in order to induce hypothermia. The breathing gas and the FSP are usually delivered through separate lumens. Clogging of an FSP lumen can be inhibited by heating and/or cooling of the lumen. The temperature of exhaled gases or a body temperature may be measured, and a controller can adjust the duration or rate at which the ice particles are delivered in order to control the patient's core temperature based on the measured temperature.

A method of preparing cryogenic air for use in cryotherapy procedures, characterized in that liquid nitrogen (1) is fed from a cryogenic nitrogen tank (2) via a cryogenic duct (3) to at least one exchanger (4), wherein at the same time a breathing mixture (6), containing oxygen in a concentration of 17% to 100%, is fed, via an oxygen duct (7), from a breathing mixture (6) source (5), through the filter (8), to at least one exchanger (4), then in at least one exchanger (4), by means of a heat exchange between the breathing mixture (6) and liquid nitrogen (1), the breathing mixture (6) is cooled to the set temperature of minus 80° C. to minus 160° C., and then the cooled breathing mixture (6) is fed from at least one exchanger (4), via an upper pipe (9).
