A cushioning surface for cooling tissue that reaches a predefined level of immersion into the cushioning surface, comprising: a segmented fluid cushion comprising a plurality of cells interconnected to allow fluid to flow from each cell to at least one of the other plurality of cells; and wherein one or more of the plurality of cells contains a heat exchange material. The cushioning surface may further comprise a cooling element associated with and for removing heat from the one or more cells containing a heat exchange material.

A patient warming device with patient access for maintaining normothermia and/or treating hypothermia is provided. The device includes a first compliant layer and a second compliant layer sealed together around an outer border to contain a liquid between the two layers and to form a wrap that surrounds and conforms to a body portion of a patient. A plurality of flaps extends from opposite sides of a generally longitudinal central portion of the wrap, such that one or more flaps from the opposite sides fasten to each other to surround the body portion. The flaps are openable during functional use to provide access to an underlying patient body surface. A continuous fluid flow path extends between the first compliant layer and the second compliant layer between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet to carry liquid and deliver heat through the wrap.

This invention relates to a bag. More particularly, the invention relates to a sling-type wearable bag having a waterproof pocket (12) for receiving a heat source, (i.e. a hot water bottle) therein, and a hand-warming pocket (30) located therein between the waterproof pocket and a layer (20, 22) of heat reflecting and/or insulating material.

Hypothermic therapy headgear for patients includes a headpiece for engaging the head of the patient and a cooling member engaged to the headpiece for contacting at least one surface portion of the patient. The cooling member includes at least one cooling surface for contacting the surface portion of the patient, and at least two endothermic reaction components. The endothermic reaction components have an initial state where the endothermic reaction components are separated from contact with each other, and a treatment state in which the endothermic reaction components are placed into contact, wherein an endothermic reaction takes place and cools the cooling surface and the corresponding portion of the patient. An activation device selectively places the endothermic reaction components into the treatment state when a patient is in need of hypothermic therapy. A thermal therapy device and a method for administering thermal therapy are also disclosed.

A therapeutic device such as an eye mask for delivery of moist heat therapy to a body part such as an eye of a human or animal subject. Example devices are configured to be worn with one or more eye coverage portions positioned over the subject's eye(s). The eye coverage portions have a front side configured for placement against the treated body part, and a back side opposite the front side. A moisture barrier material positioned at or adjacent the back side substantially prevents moisture from escaping from the back side and directs moist heat delivery through the front side and toward the body part to be treated.

This is a device, belonging to the medical and hospital artifacts industry, developed to accelerate the hemostatic process for patients undergoing radial punctures, partially compressing the artery subjected to treatment; said cryo-hemostatic device is essentially presented in the form of a wristband (1), providing end bands (2) providing velcro-based closing, interconnected by an intermediate band (3) below which a first cryogenic reservoir pad is located (4), which can be filled with a saline substance by the action of a syringe connected to the first connection nipple (5) attached to the first tube (6), flanked by the second external reservoir pad (7), also provided with a second connection nipple (8), attached to the second tube (9).

The field of the invention relates generally to devices and methods for controlling the temperature of a human or non-human body. More specifically, the field of the invention may relate to wearable devices, which may be worn by a subject, which human or non-human, wherein the wearable device is in thermal communication with a portion of the subject's body containing brown adipose tissue and wherein the wearable device comprises a means for providing a constant or near constant temperature to the subject's body and therefore controls the temperature of the subject's body, by using a phase change material. The phase material transitions state at a predetermined temperature which may be higher or lower than the subject's exterior body temperature. The device and method are usable to control temperature-related effects of menopause, post menopause and drug induced thermoregulatory symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes and sleep disturbance.

The invention relates to a forced air warming blanket for regulating a temperature of a patient, the blanket having a patient drape detachably connected thereto.

A therapeutic mask system for treatment of the eyes, including a mask portion for attachment to the head of a patient and an eye coverage pod that is detachably coupled to the mask portion. The mask portion can include an eye coverage portion having a receiver in which the eye coverage pod is releasably secured. Alternatively, the therapeutic mask system includes a mask strap and the eye coverage pod is directly secured to the mask strap. The eye coverage pod includes material for delivering thermal, moisture and/or medication therapy and treatment to the eye. The therapeutic mask system can also include a heat-transmissive treatment pad positioned between the pod and the eye of the user.

A protective band having chips includes a band body having a plurality of compartments. The compartments are provided with chip sets, respectively. Each chip set has two fixing films and a plurality of chips wrapped between the fixing films. The fixing films each have a fixed end fixed to a corresponding one of the compartments and a free end accommodated in the corresponding compartment. The protective band can be attached to the user's skin to radiate far infrared rays. Through the fixed ends of the fixing films fixed to the corresponding compartment, the fixing films are maintained at a predetermined position to enhance the wearing comfort and maintain the radiation effect of the chip sets.
