A gel-pack has a plurality of self-contained components organized as layers in an interior chamber of the gel-pack. Each layer may be inserted into, and removed from, the interior chamber individually. The components include a solid-state gel layer that stores thermal energy, a first radiant energy barrier that prevents the transfer of thermal energy radiating from an exterior of the gel-pack into the solid-state gel layer, and a second radiant energy barrier that reflects the thermal energy radiating from the user's body into the solid-state gel layer.

A dual modality system includes a chassis having a receptacle and means to couple the chassis to a desired treatment area of a user's body; a durable energy subsystem coupled to the chassis, arranged and configured to deliver energy to the desired treatment area of a user's body; and a replaceable thermal subsystem arranged and configured for removable placement in the receptacle of the chassis, arranged and configured to deliver thermal energy.

A dual modality system includes a flexible chassis including a durable energy subsystem and a replaceable thermal subsystem. The durable energy subsystem has a plurality of energy emitters disposed in an emission region of the chassis having a length and a width, wherein the emission region length and emission region width are both substantially greater than an emission region depth. The replaceable thermal subsystem has a thermal source affixed to flexible web having an adhesive surface and at least one structure arranged and configured to couple the thermal subsystem to a chassis comprising a durable energy subsystem in a configuration wherein the thermal source is substantially superposed over the emission region of the chassis.

The inventive concept refers to a system, a method, and a computer program for providing training for pain improvement. According to an exemplary embodiment, a training providing method for pain improvement includes requesting, by a computer, a temperature providing device to provide a first temperature to a first body point, requesting, by the computer, the temperature providing device to provide a second temperature to a second body point, requesting a user to select a temperature matched with a specific condition among the first temperature and the second temperature, and calculating a correct answer rate after performing a trial of distinguishing between the first temperature and the second temperature by a predetermined number.

A system and method for providing a universal wrap that can apply a thermal pack to many different regions of a patient's body. The universal wrap is provided in a standardized form. The medical provider is provided with options to modify the standardized form in order to adapt the wrap to many different applications.

A therapeutic apparatus for treating damaged tissue on a limb or body of a subject includes a wearable adapted to cover and be secured to the limb or body of a subject over damaged tissue. The wearable being configured to reduce pressure on the damaged tissue and adapted to deliver one or more treatments selected from the group consisting of heat, oxygen, electrical current, and light to the damaged tissue.

A thermal control system for controlling a temperature of a fluid delivered to a patient is provided. The system includes a thermal control unit having a fluid inlet and outlet, a circulation channel, a pump, a heat exchanger, a fluid temperature sensor and a controller that controls the heat exchanger in order to automatically bring a patients temperature to a target temperature. In some embodiments, the control unit includes a user interface adapted to receive a non-temperature patient parameter (e.g. BMI) that the controller uses, along with patient core temperature readings, to control the heat exchanger. The controller may also or alternatively control the heat exchanger based on both core and peripheral patient temperature readings. An auxiliary thermal therapy device for controlling a temperature of the patients blood, air breathed by the patient, and/or other fluid, may also be controlled by the thermal control unit.

A compression wrap and method for temperature-controlled application of pressure on an arm of a subject, comprising a fluid bladder comprising a first element comprising two or more first flaps; a second element comprising one or more digital flaps; and a third element comprising two or more second flaps, wherein the first element and the third element are connected along a first edge and the second element is connected to the first element and the third element along a second edge.

The present application relates to systems and methods for altering temperature in a mammalian body. Optionally, the systems and methods can be used to lower or raise core body temperature of a mammalian subject. Optionally, the systems and methods can be used to lower or raise the temperature of glabrous skin of a mammalian subject.

The present invention is a therapeutic pad that is wearable by an animal to provide treatment for injury or pain without hampering mobility. Therapeutic pad includes a jacket/wrap, a pocket and at least one of a heating pack and/or a cooling pack. Jacket is made of flexible material, wearable by animal and made of various shapes to fit on different body parts of animal Jacket/wrap can be provided with fasteners that can easy wearing of jacket/wrap by animal Pocket can be provided anywhere on jacket/wrap and can be permanently or temporarily connected with jacket/wrap or can be an integral cavity of jacket/wrap. Heating pack and/or a cooling pack is provided within pocket. Heating pack and/or a cooling pack provides therapeutic treatment on affected area(s) for reducing swelling and/or pain.
