A cold pack that can be fidgeted in a human hand. The cold pack encases a heat-transferring substance and provides a rigid portion suitable for being securely held by and readily fidgeted with fingers of said human hand. Heat-conducting grooves and heat-insulating surfaces are built into the rigid portion, with acute edges, jutting bumps, guard rails and other textures to provide grip. Fingertips alternate between holding the cold pack by said grooves and surfaces, thereby applying dynamic cold therapy to the same fingertips, rest of fingers, the hand, and other body parts requiring treatment for swelling, inflammation and trauma arising from friction, compression or minor burn injuries. Timely application of dynamic cold therapy can thus prevent formation of blisters in fingers and hands commonly seen in string players, musicians, sportspeople and workers caused by repetitive contacts with objects, and by unexpected contacts with hot surfaces.

A cervical collar that facilitates therapeutic hypothermia is provided and includes a cooling device 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. The cooling device induces hypothermia in at least a portion of a patient. A sensor is provided that measures a physical characteristic of the patient.

Thermal dressings consist of conformable containment pack to be placed on or wrapped around a part of the body providing thermal therapeutics with or without; sensing as a diagnostic tool and/or medical intervention material. Containment pack has an inner layer closest to the skin and an outer layer furthest from the skin; containment pack has at least one volume deflector configure to provide areas of positive and negative curvature when in use; inner layer positive curvature is an outward protrusion for compression directed into skin for splinting and sensor location, and the negative curvature has gap for circuitry and medical intervention material. Volume deflectors are positioned to provide contour matching portions of body covered by said containment pack; and containment pack has a preloaded first material needed to create a thermal reaction.

A modular kinesiology or physio tape adapted to produce heating or cooling. The tape includes a layer of material having a chamber for retention and release of a removable packet of cooling or heating material and a mechanism for securing the layer directly onto skin of a user. The removable packet of cooling or heating material has dimensions optimized for manual insertion into and removal from the chamber. Preferably, the material is flexible and includes an adhesive for securing the layer to the skin. The material has a first surface for contacting skin, a second surface parallel to the first surface for receiving and retaining the removable packet and an edge between the first and second surfaces. In one embodiment, multiple slits are provided in the second surface having dimensions adapted to receive and retain said packet. In yet another embodiment, a heating packet is implemented with a button/coin type battery circuit with an optional mechanism for controlling the generation of heat thereby.

Implementations described herein include a device comprising a frame and an energy source operably coupled to the frame that applies energy to eyelids and allows for normal blinking of the eye. The frame is securably positionable on a face of a user. The frame includes an engagement portion operably coupled to a support portion. The engagement portion is positionable over an eye of a user. The engagement portion extends between a medial side and a lateral side thereof. The support portion is securable to the face of the user peripheral to an eye area thereof. The eye area includes both the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid of the eye. The engagement portion can be a first engagement portion and the frame can further include a second engagement portion spaced apart from the first engagement portion. The first engagement portion and the second engagement portion can be coupled via a support portion extending therebetween.

An electrosurgical device is provided that includes a probe extending in a longitudinal direction and having a proximal region and a distal region. An inner diameter of the probe defines a lumen. The probe has an electrically insulated portion extending from the proximal region to the distal region and an electrically exposed conductive portion located at the distal region. The electrically exposed conductive portion delivers radiofrequency energy to an area of tissue adjacent the distal region. The device also includes a heat transfer system for removing thermal energy from the area of tissue that is in thermal contact with the area of tissue. The heat transfer system removes from about 0.1 Watts to about 50 Watts of energy from the tissue. In addition, the heat transfer system can sufficiently draw heat away from the tissue without the use of a peristaltic pump for circulating a liquid inside the lumen.

The present invention relates to a cooling pad device that is comprised of a cooling filling, an internal pad, and a cover. The body of the device further preferably resembles the size and dimensions of any mattress size or shape for any age or demographic and is comprised of a flexible or semi-flexible material. The device can be attached to a fitted bed sheet by at least one fastener, and upon weight activation, emit a cold temperature from internal gel packets to reduce fever. In differing embodiments, the cover of the device may have a plurality of indicia such as but not limited to: patterns, logos, emblems, images, symbols, designs, letter, number, words, characters, animals, advertisements, brands, etc.

An applicator has a stem, one or more tips, and one or more chambers which may hold therapeutic or medicinal fluids. The applicator may be separated into two sections so the tips can be used independently. The fluids held in the chambers may be separated with one or more frangible walls which can be broken to release or mix the fluids. The tips are used as applicators for the therapeutic or medicinal effects produced by the fluids or the medicines contained in the cavity.

A thermal therapy headgear for a patient includes a plurality of thermal reaction compartments, a liquid chamber, a gas chamber, and a gas container. The thermal reaction compartments contain a first of at least two thermal reaction components, and the liquid chamber contains the second thermal reaction component. The gas container has therein a pressurized gas and a gas valve for selectively releasing the pressurized gas into the gas chamber. The gas in the gas chamber will apply pressure to the liquid chamber and force the second thermal reaction component through the valve and into the thermal reaction compartments to react and transfer heat with the patient, and the presence of the gas within the gas chamber will cushion the patient. A method for conducting hypothermic therapy is also disclosed.

Disclosed is a local cooling anesthesia device for spraying a coolant on a treatment site. The local cooling anesthesia device includes a housing which forms an outward form and from which the coolant is sprayed and a spraying unit installed in the housing to spray the coolant. The device also includes a cooling temperature regulator connected to the spraying unit to apply thermal energy to the sprayed coolant for temperature regulation and a control unit connected to the cooling temperature regulator to control the cooling temperature regulator. The cooling anesthesia device has functions of measuring and regulating the temperature of the coolant, and thus can apply the coolant to the treatment site within a safe temperature range according to the purpose of treatment, thereby enabling a desired treatment purpose such as local anesthesia to be safely and rapidly accomplished without side effects such as cytoclasis.
