A permeable layer associated relative to a phase change material associated relative to a securing fabric layer. The permeable layer retains a therapeutic or cosmetic agent to be transferred, in whole or in part, to the user's skin. The phase change material may be dissolved within a thermoplastic matrix or situated within a suitable container. This invention provides the novelty of a phase change material, coupled with a permeable layer and a fabric layer, which work in conjunction with a therapeutic or cosmetic agent.

A method of treating a subject in need thereof, is carried out by (a) administering said subject a therapeutic intervention (e.g., an active agent) in a treatment effective amount; and concurrently (b) administering said subject caloric vestibular stimulation in a treatment effective amount, said caloric vestibular stimulation administered so as to enhance the efficacy of said active agent. In some embodiments, the caloric vestibular stimulation is administered as an actively controlled time varying waveform.

A dental dressing to promote hemostasis, reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and lower incidence of infection associated with dental surgical procedures. The dressing comprises a three-dimensional absorbent matrix to assist in the removal of exudate associated with iatrogenic trauma, and embedded cannabinoid-infused therapeutic phytoconstituents to provide substantially localized therapy to the surgical site. The cannabinoid-infused therapeutic phytoconstituents are substantially contained within a porous dressing pouch shapeable to substantially engage the iatrogenic trauma while fitting generally over and about the surgical site. At least part of the dressing matrix substantially conforms to the surgical site, thereby engaging the therapeutic phytoconstituents intimately with the iatrogenic trauma.

The present invention relates to a medical device for treating, preventing or ameliorating an eye condition. The device comprises a cover, at least a portion of which comprises an antimicrobial agent and is at least partially filled with temperature control means. In use, the cover is arranged to contact a subject's eye and/or a surrounding area thereof, and the temperature control means is configured to modulate the temperature of the cover to thereby treat, prevent or ameliorate the eye condition.

A heat patch includes a dressing layer, a release layer, an adherence layer, and a heating layer. The dressing layer is combined with the release layer and the adherence layer. The heating layer is combined with the adherence layer. When the dressing layer is adhered to the user skin, the heating structure of the heating layer generates the heat which is transmitted to the dressing layer for achieving a hot compressing function.

The current invention discloses a treatment device having a heat source, a power source, a heat applicator and a lighting mechanism. The power source includes at least one battery having superior properties such as prolonged electricity production and prompt recharging. The heat applicator includes a heat conductive layer made from nanofibers, providing highly efficient heat distribution to the targeted regions. The lighting mechanism employs light emitting nano fibers to treat targeted regions. The power source provides energy to the light source, which generates light so that the applicator may distribute to an injury site or wound bed of a user. The heat source may be an exothermic chemical reaction designed to last for several hours supplying heat to the treatment device or an electronically produced heat. The treatment device further comprises a plurality of electrodes for electrical stimulation treatment.
