Patient warming system with monitoring and feedback capability
Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a patient warming system having a heating device configured to transfer heat to a patient based on a body heat score that indicates whether the patient is likely to sweat. The heating device includes a heater circuit configured to produce heat, the heater circuit thermally coupled to the patient. The heating device also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the heater circuit. The controller has one or more processors configured to receive one or more physiological indicators of the patient, determine the body heat score from one or more physiological indicators, determine whether the body heat score meets a score threshold, direct the heater circuit to produce a first amount of heat based on whether the body heat score meets a score threshold.
Couplable portable device for the thermal medical treatment of skin
A portable device for the thermal medical treatment of skin allows a treatment attachment to be coupled to a mobile data-processing unit, preferably a smartphone or a tablet, via an interface, wherein a housing of the treatment attachment which extends over the treatment attachment is provided with a heating element directly underneath the surface facing away from the data-processing unit in the coupled state, the heating element being coupled to a temperature sensor, wherein the heating element, with the interposition of a control unit, is connected to the electrically conductive interface or, via a Bluetooth connection, to the data-processing unit in such a way that the heating element is supplied with power via one or more rechargeable batteries integrated into the data-processing unit in such a way that the heating element can be heated to a temperature predefined via the control unit.
THERMAL CONTRAST THERAPY SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS
The present disclosure relates to thermal contrast therapy systems, and automated thermal contrast therapy devices configured to interact with such systems and to perform customized thermal contrast therapy treatment sequences. Treatments may be prescribed by a treatment provider or selected by a user of a thermal contrast therapy device associated with such a system. In some embodiments, a thermal contrast therapy device may be configured to receive an indication from one or more temperature sensors and/or flow meters and to effect a desired measure of heat transfer during treatment, for example, by automatically adjusting the temperature and/or flow rate of the heat transfer fluid. In some embodiments, a thermal contrast therapy device may be configured to receive an indication of one or more physiological parameter values and to perform a customized thermal contrast therapy treatment sequence based, at least in part, on the one or more physiological parameter values.
CERVICAL COLLAR
A cervical collar that facilitates therapeutic hypothermia is provided and includes an outer shell having a front portion and a back portion fixedly coupled to the front portion on one side and removably coupled to the front portion on an opposite side. A fastening device removably couples the back portion to the front portion on the opposite side. At least one cooling device is provided on an interior of the outer shell to induce hypothermia in a patient. A sensor is provided that measures a physical characteristic of the patient.
MEDICAL DEVICES FOR GENERATING HEAT AND METHODS OF TREATMENT USING THE SAME
A device for a medical or cosmetic treatment based on heat is provided. The device includes an impermeable backing layer and an adhesive layer in contact with the backing layer. The device also includes an alkali metal selected from a single, free alkali metal and an alloy alkali metals, the alkali metal in contact with at least a portion of the adhesive layer to define a treatment region. The device also includes a release liner in contact with the adhesive layer and the treatment region. A heat delivery system or kit including the device and a method for its use are also provided.
Post-Waxing Skin Inflammation Alleviation Kit
A skin inflammation prevention skincare kit designed for use after waxing is disclosed. The kit includes a chillable gel pack containing natural and organic ingredients including aloe vera gel extract, chamomile extract, green tea extract, cucumber extract, menthol, Vitamin C extract, and allantoin. The kit further includes an adhesive applicator that conforms to the body, enabling secure placement of the gel pack on sensitive areas. The kit also includes sanitizing wipes for cleansing the skin before application and Vitamin E wipes for moisturizing and healing after use. The gel pack and gel pad variants are washable, reusable, and eco-friendly. The kit can be tailored for both males and females.
THERMAL COMPRESSIVE SURGICAL TREATMENT MASK
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a thermal compressive surgical treatment mask. In an illustrative example, a multi-layered mask assembly is configured to simultaneously apply heat or cold and graduated compression to a predetermined medical target area (e.g., skull cap, face, ears, jaw, chin, or neck). The multi-layered mask assembly includes a multi-layered mask including a silicone-based gel layer and an aperture configured to fit the eyes and nose. A detachable neck strap is operably coupled to the multi-layered mask to extend therapeutic coverage along the cervical region. The multi-layered mask assembly is configured to provide effective thermal therapy and compressive therapy to reduce pain and swelling and enhance lymphatic and venous drainage for a patient post-surgery. Various embodiments may advantageously conform to different anatomical regions, accommodate diverse surgical procedures, and improve patient comfort and recovery by integrating both thermal and compressive functionalities in a single wearable system.
Heat therapy system using array of insulated probes applied per system's unique parameters
The invention is, inter alia, an electrically powered heating pad/rod/probe/cubic that utilizes variously-sized probe tips (geometric shaped substantially-solid elements, rods, cubics or probes, which are versatile and effective in poking/massaging different parts of the human body. The apparatus device and system is intended for medical purposes, providing heat therapy for body surfaces. The probes are capable of maintaining an elevated temperature during use, substantially dependent on the body part and other sensory feedback. The invention is used, inter alia, for warming of desired parts of the human body in order to alleviate and manage body pain. The localized application of the heat causes the blood vessels in (and underneath) that area to dilate, enhancing perfusion to the targeted tissue. The system involves proper thermal poking/application of specially-tailored geometric-shaped heating rods (aka probe heads, or cubics) which are securely covered with disposable covers [ideally cotton/polyester/spandex and amalgams thereof] disposable fabric] which allows good hygiene and sanitation during repeated use. The device's cubics are each equipped with a central-core resistive heating element; the device/system comprises an automatic shut off feature and protective alarm&circuitry to properly respond to overcurrent & overvoltage.
COOLING PAD AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
A cooling pad, a method of making the cooling pad, and a method of using the cooling pad are provided. Such a cooling pad includes a hydrogel layer, a protective backing layer coated with a first adhesive layer, and a second adhesive layer. The backing layer coated with the first adhesive layer, and the second adhesive layer are disposed on two different sides of the hydrogel layer. The hydrogel layer comprises a base polymer as a first base ingredient for the hydrogel layer, a second base ingredient for the hydrogel layer, and an additive or filler, which may include a moisture absorbing agent, a stabilizing agent, an antimicrobial agent, a photothermal agent, or any other additive or filler, or any combination thereof.
