An arthritis treatment system includes a cooling treatment mechanism for administering a cooling treatment protocol to a patient. The system also includes a heating treatment mechanism for administering a heating treatment protocol to the patient, distinctly and simultaneously with the cooling treatment protocol. The system further includes a controller for controlling both the cooling and heating treatment mechanisms. The arthritis treatment system simultaneously provides the cooling and heating treatment protocols to the patient, and the controller algorithmically adjusts the cooling and heating treatment protocols.

Improvements in the cold pack with a sustained temperature of between 17-40 degrees Fahrenheit for over 2 hours and as long as 9 hours. The aloe and polyacrylamide cold pack can be configured so it does not continually condense or drip water for over 2 hours when using the ingredients of Ammonium C12-C15, Pareth Sulfate Ammonium C12-C15, Pareth Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Poloxamer 124 DMDM Hydantoin Pent sodium Pentatate, Sodium Bisulfite. The main ingredients in regulating the ice pack temperature, longevity and hardness is the aloe, H2O and polyacrylamide ratio.

A drape for a piece of equipment used during a medical procedure may be formed of a flexible sheet of polymeric material. The flexible sheet can have a basin portion shape-indexed to a basin or reservoir of the piece of equipment over which the drape is intended to be draped. The flexible sheet can also have a side sheet portion connected to the basin portion. The side sheet portion can drape down the basin or reservoir of the piece of equipment over which the drape is draped. The basin portion of the flexible sheet can be collapsible. As a result, the drape can be collapsed into planar package for storage. Upon being removed from the package, the basin portion of the drape can be expanded to conform to the walls of the basin of the piece of equipment over which the drape is deployed.

A heat transfer system that may be used to absorb heat from a human user. A wearable vest is provided. The innermost surface of the vest is covered in hook-compatible material. One or more thermal transfer packs are configured to be attached to the vest. One or more hook panels on each thermal transfer pack is used to stick the thermal transfer pack directly to the innermost surface of the vest.

An apparatus includes a flexible frame, a coupling portion, and an insulating portion. The flexible frame is configured to support a thermal therapeutic member and is transitioned between a first configuration and a second configuration to place the therapeutic member in substantially continuous contact with a target portion of the body. The coupling portion is coupled to the flexible frame and is transitioned from a first configuration to a second configuration to retain the flexible frame in its second configuration. The insulating portion is transitioned from a first configuration to a second configuration to be coupled to the flexible frame. The insulating portion at least partially controls a transfer of thermal energy between the thermal therapeutic member and the target portion of the body.

The present invention relates to a heating element composition, and a method of manufacturing an eye mask pack, which shows that a heating temperature is regular, and heat is uniformly generated, a heating pack is able to be worn in a state of coming into close contact even with a curved surface, a preservation period is long, and the heating temperature and time for which heat is generated can be adjusted minutely. Also, the present invention relates to a device of manufacturing an eye mask pack which is capable of manufacturing self-heating packs rapidly even without the use of nitrogen.

A health care device includes a soft water bag, a control unit disposed on a side of the soft water bag, a temperature control element electrically connected to the control unit and disposed inside the soft water bag. When the control unit controls the temperature control element, the temperature control element disposed inside the soft water bag is energized to heat and control a temperature of liquid in the soft water bag, so as to provide better portability than the conventional products.

Disclosed is a system which employs a cooling or heating pad which is preferably rechargeable with hot or cold temperatures at an intended area of the body. The pad includes a highly temperature-conductive or temperature-retentive material which can be cooled or heated using a portable source of heat or cold material delivered to the pad by a removable delivery conduit. Valves can be included to regulate flow of the cooling or heating material from the source to the pad. The system can also include a dual-chambered canister for containing two different media for heating, cooling or for alternating heating and cooling the pad.

A garment is provided to be worn post-surgery during recovery from urological surgical procedure. The garment is in the form of men's underwear or brief, with features provided to assist in recovery and comfort of the user. The garment includes a center flap that can be opened to provide access to a center pocket that is aligned with the user's crotch. The center pocket contains a moldable body that can be molded to a particular shape to support and hold the user's penis in a pre-determined orientation to facilitate the recovery process. The flap also includes a pocket that can contain a heating/cooling pack that is arranged to apply heat/cooling to the surgical site. The garment is also configured to accept and support a medical drainage tube to drain the surgical wound, and a drainage pump as needed.
