HEATING BODY AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

Provided is a heating body that enables high-speed production using a conventional rotary heat-sealing roll, has a wearing portion with sufficient strength to use by inserting a hand or the like, thereby being used safely and conveniently, and can be worn on the body or the like without being adhered thereto, and a method for producing the same. An example of one aspect of the present invention is a heating body in which a heat-generating composition that generates heat in the presence of air is accommodated in a bag body formed by heat sealing a one-surface side laminated base material comprising a first base material and a second base material, and a covering material, at a peripheral edge portion thereof, characterized in that: the first base material has one surface being a nonwoven fabric layer and the other surface being a heat sealable resin layer; the second base material is a sheet in which an olefin-based nonwoven fabric layer and a resin film are laminated using an olefin-based resin; the first base material and the second base material are capable of forming a space into which a body part can be inserted or held, in a part surrounded by the peripheral edge portion; and in a heat sealed part of the bag body peripheral edge portion, the heat sealable resin layer of the first base material and the nonwoven fabric layer of the second base material are bonded together, and the resin film of the second base material and the covering material are bonded together; as well as a method for producing the same.

Therapeutic pressure, thermal, and/or other treatment modality systems and methods

Systems and methods described herein include a pressure delivery component that has a pressure applicator configured to selectively apply therapeutic pressure to a treatment portion of a user body, and also includes a thermal delivery component that has a thermal applicator that is a configured to apply thermal treatment to the treatment portion. The thermal applicator may be removably disposable in operative relationship with the pressure delivery component in a use configuration of the treatment delivery component such that the thermal applicator is disposable between the treatment portion and the pressure applicator when the treatment delivery component is disposed on the treatment portion in the use configuration. Moreover, the pressure applicator is operable to apply pressure to the thermal applicator to enhance apposition of the thermal applicator to the treatment portion.

Methods and devices for manipulating temperature

Methods and devices for manipulating the temperature of a surface are generally provided. The present disclosure relates to a device including one or more heating and/or cooling elements, or other suitable thermal adjustment apparatus(es), placed near a surface, such as the skin of a user. The device may be configured to generate one or more (optionally alternating) thermal profiles at the surface, which may include a series of thermal pulses and/or essentially continuous or semi-continuous thermal input, which may vary over time. Such thermal profiles, when suitably applied, may provide enhanced thermal sensations for a user which, in some cases, may provide the user with a more pleasurable thermal experience than would otherwise be the case without the generation of the thermal profiles. In some embodiments, an alternating thermal profile may include an average frequency, an oscillation window, and/or an average temperature, each of which may be adjustable.
