A dual modality system includes a flexible chassis including a durable energy subsystem and a replaceable thermal subsystem. The durable energy subsystem has a plurality of energy emitters disposed in an emission region of the chassis having a length and a width, wherein the emission region length and emission region width are both substantially greater than an emission region depth. The replaceable thermal subsystem has a thermal source affixed to flexible web having an adhesive surface and at least one structure arranged and configured to couple the thermal subsystem to a chassis comprising a durable energy subsystem in a configuration wherein the thermal source is substantially superposed over the emission region of the chassis.

A stationary massage device, system and corresponding methods are used for self-administrated or assisted soft tissue strain release (including trigger point therapy, strain-and-counterstrain therapy and neuromuscular release). The massage device comprises a body, wherein the body may include branches, each having flat surfaces, edges, ridges or corners. The surfaces, edges and ridges may be pushed along the myofilament direction of the soft tissues to produce pressing, rubbing, stretching and pulling actions on the soft tissues as stripping massages. The system can be configured to form different geometric shapes, and made of different materials of different firmness. The system can be further configured to perform unheated, or heated massages; and cooling treatments. In addition to being used alone, the system can be mounted on a piece of wall, a standing frame, furniture or a garment.

A surgical drape for use during pre-operative and post-operative procedures and in sterile operating room environments comprises a drape panel, a heat source affixed to the drape panel for maintaining normal patient body temperature. A thermal panel affixed to the drape panel and defining a heat retention area is optional. The heat source comprises a single or plurality of air-activated chemical warming device for quick heating to optimal temperature and consistent discharge of heat over the desired time.

Surface treatment devices having a flexible, fluid impermeable enclosure made of a synthetic amorphous silica; and a polydimethlysiloxane fluid contained in the enclosure. The synthetic amorphous silica may be a liquid silicone rubber, for example, s CHT True Skin liquid silicone rubber. The polydimethlysiloxane fluid may be a CHT QM Diluent. The treatment device may be used for heating or cooling a surface, for example, the surface of the human body. The liquid silicone rubber may be a CHT True Skin 10 liquid silicone rubber, and the CHT QM Diluent may be a low viscosity CHT QM Diluent, for example, a CHT QM Diluent having a viscosity of at least 50 centipoise (cps), or at least 1,000 cps. Methods for treating a surface and methods for fabricating a surface treating device are also provided.
