A device includes light sources, electromagnetic field generators, and vibration components to apply a variety of treatment regimens to a living animal organism, including a human person or a body part of a person. The light and electromagnetic therapy are applied at frequencies which have physiological effects, and which can be combined to induce lipolysis, stimulate muscle, and achieve other effects. Feedback is used to dynamically adjust the intensity, duration, and other parameters of the light, electromagnetic, and vibration treatment modalities.

An exercise assistance system includes a deep body thermometer attached to a user and including a temperature sensor, temperature adjustment equipment attached to at least one of a hand and a foot of the user, and a controller configured to communicate with the deep body thermometer and the temperature adjustment equipment. The deep body thermometer detects information related to deep body temperature of the user with the temperature sensor. The controller executes a process for determining whether the deep body temperature of the user is less than or equal to a predetermined temperature based on the detected information related to deep body temperature. When determined that the deep body temperature is not less than or equal to the predetermined temperature, the controller executes a process for outputting control information to the temperature adjustment equipment indicating a magnetic stimulating pattern that dilates blood vessels in a palm or foot bottom of the user.

Dermatological treatments and systems employing cooling, topicals, and/or abrasion are disclosed herein. The system can include a cold plate and a suspension assembly tip. The suspension assembly tip can be selectively coupleable to the cold plate. The suspension assembly tip can include a suspension tip and a suspension. The suspension tip can include a contact surface that can be contacted onto a patient's skin to provide a treatment. The suspension can couple to both the cold plate and to the suspension tip. The suspension can be thermally conductive so as to closely thermally couple the suspension tip to the cold plate, or the suspension tip can have a low thermal conductivity so as to not closely thermally coupled the suspension tip to the cold plate.

A tracheal tube include a conformable conduit that forms a respiratory passage to transfer respiratory gases to a patient. A helical inflatable lumen is formed in or on an interior surface of the conformable conduit. Fluid transferred into the helical inflatable lumen causes the inflatable lumen to assume an expanded configuration to expand an outer diameter of the conformable conduit relative to an unexpanded configuration of the helical inflatable lumen. When in the expanded configuration and inserted in a patient, conformable walls of the conformable conduit expand outwards to contact the tracheal walls such that the conformable conduit is self-sizing to a patient's trachea size.

Apparatus and methods related to an underbody support for supporting a body of a being, such as during surgery to prevent contact pressure injuries. In certain embodiments, the underbody support may include one or more inflatable chambers enclosing a volume. At least one of the inflatable chambers may include one or more compression sensitive switches for monitoring the volume of the inflatable chamber, and the one or more compression sensitive switches may be located within the inflatable chamber. In some embodiments the one or more compression sensitive switches are sized to close when the said inflatable chamber is deflated to a desired residual volume.

A cold therapy apparatus includes a thermal body wrap with umbilical to a control unit with pump for circulating a thermal fluid to remove heat from a body. A coolant heat exchange assembly includes a coolant tank that is filled with a coolant and has a heat exchanger inside that is immersed in the coolant. The heat exchanger is coupled to the control unit to circulate the thermal fluid through the thermal body wrap. The coolant heat exchange assembly is removed from the control unit and placed in a cold environment to chill the coolant, and is then re-coupled during cold therapy. The process is repeated form extended therapy periods.

A heating mat that, by making use of a multilayered structure, is able to provide therapeutic benefits to a user. The heating mat has a heating layer, PEMF emitters, and a primary therapeutic layer. The primary therapeutic layer uses therapeutic materials that facilitate treatment. The heating layer functions as a flexible heating element for the heating mat. The PEMF emitters are devices which generate pulses of EM energy that are known to have therapeutic properties. The PEMF emitters is mounted adjacent to a first face of the heating layer. The primary therapeutic layer is mounted adjacent to a second face of the heating layer, opposite to the PEMF emitter.

An article configured to warm and monitor a patient during a dialysis treatment, the article includes one or more heating elements. The article also includes one or more sensors configured to monitor a condition of the patient during the dialysis treatment. The article also includes a fabric portion configured to receive the one or more heating elements and the one or more sensors and position the one or more heating elements and the one or more sensors on the patient during treatment. The article also includes a transmitter configured to transmit information from the one or more sensors to a dialysis machine and an electrical connector configured to provide power to at least one of the one or more heating elements and the one or more sensors.

Disclosed are methods of obtaining zero vergence ultrasound waves for providing sonodynamic therapy with ultrasound waves that do not converge and do not diverge. The method includes coupling a sonodynamic therapy device with an array of flat piezoelectric transducers to a skin surface. A controller is configured to generate an electrical drive signal at a frequency, modulate the drive signal, and drive the transducer with the modulated drive signal at the frequency to produce a zero vergence ultrasound wave to produce an average acoustic intensity sufficient to activate a sonosensitizer in a treatment region without damaging healthy cells in the treatment region.

A cordless foam roller applies heat and vibration through a rotary motor to muscles, and operates using an internal rechargeable power source when in use. The cordless foam roller includes an elongated cylindrically-shaped body having a textured exterior surface, and defining an inner cavity for receiving and accommodating an inner console; the inner console defining an inner cavity housing one or more of a circuit board comprising a microcontroller and heat and vibration setting buttons; a battery; and a rotary motor; and having an outer surface supporting one or more heating elements thereon. The foam roller is used for musculoskeletal rehabilitative, therapeutic and stretching programs.
