The invention relates to an immunomodulatory substance(s) and/or a skin-conditioning agent for use in a method for treating and/or preventing an inflammatory disease, immunological disease and/or autoimmunological disease in a subject, wherein the method comprises a step (A) selected from one or more of: generating an accumulation of PBMCs within the skin, generating a vasodilation of the capillaries within the skin, generating an increased blood volume within the skin, generating an increased sO.sub.2 within the skin, generating an increased rHb within the skin, generating an increased temperature on the skin, generating a redness on the skin, administering conditioning energy to the skin, administering a skin-conditioning agent to the skin or administering PBMCs to the skin of the subject; and the method further comprises step (B) administering a first immunomodulatory substance(s) to the skin of the subject and/or step (C) administering a second immunomodulatory substance(s) to the skin of the subject.

Described herein is a pouch or strap system for holding a temperature control element (i.e., hot/cold element). The system described herein may include multiple straps that may be retained and/or interconnected such that the system may position a temperature control element at various parts of the body. The system may include a central pouch encompassed by a first panel and a second panel, wherein the first panel has a higher thermal resistance than the thermal resistance of the second panel. The system may include a first couple of straps attached to and extending away from the central pouch, each of the first couple of straps including a single quick-release buckle component, and a second couple of straps attached to and extending away from the central pouch, wherein each strap of the second couple of straps includes two quick-release buckle components.

Embodiments described herein relate to a reusable chemical cold pack. The apparatus includes a body which defines a chamber having two volumes separated by a thin film composite membrane. The thin film composite membrane includes a fabric material sheet, a thermoplastic polymer material sheet, and a polyamide material sheet. A first volume disposed on one side of the thin film composite membrane contains a solvent and a second volume disposed on an opposite side of the thin film composite membrane contains a solute. A check valve is disposed through the thin film composite membrane and enables mixing of the solvent and the solute. The solvent and the solute may also be separated after mixing by diffusion of the solvent through the thin film composite membrane.

A hand therapy kit includes a housing having a lid that is expandable from a folded position to an unfolded position to expose a working surface on an inside of the lid. An elastic cord is attached at two or more anchor points on the working surface to define at least one gap for receiving a finger. The finger can be therapeutically exercised by moving from a first position proximal to the working surface to a second position distal to the working surface. The hand therapy kit can also include removable hand therapy modules, including a therapeutic tracking glove and/or a pressure sensor ball.
