Described herein are cold therapy devices and methods for making same and, more particularly, to a garment comprising cold therapy components that may be placed adjacent a wearer's body at various locations while remaining fixed in place during activities, such as walking or movement, without requiring the wearer to hold the cold components in place or remain sedentary.

A lightweight highly portable scalp or body part cooling system to mitigate the effects of chemotherapy induced alopecia or other medical condition. The device consists of a scalp heat exchanger cap or body part heat exchanger, heat exchange fluid, a DC voltage refrigeration fluid chiller, measurement sensors, battery, voltage converter and a microprocessor packaged in a hard case with wheels and handle for patient portability.

A cerebral protection system generally includes an array of cold packs, an insulating cover, and optionally a set of trays. The cold pack contains two reactive materials separated by a rupturable membrane. When the first reactive material and the second reactive material are mixed, an endothermic reaction occurs. The system can be used to induce hypothermia in selected regions of the brain when used. The system can be used to treat conditions including concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), heatstroke, cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, anoxic brain injury, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.

Brush portions are configured for use with a handheld device. The brush portion includes at least one bristle disposed on a bristle base, the bristle having an elongate first electrode, an elongate second electrode abutting the first electrode, and an insulator disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connectable to a first voltage source and a second voltage source of the device, respectively.

Presented is a gel cap adapted to relieve headaches, migraine, headache, fever, stress, or similar medical conditions in users. The gel cap includes one or more chambers defined by one or more stretchable and flexible pieces of fabric, and filled with a temperature-variable substance. In use, one of the chambers substantially covers a frontal region of a user's head and a front face extending until the cheekbones of the user, and another chamber substantially covers a rear region of the user's head extending from parietal to occipital region. The chambers are isolated from each other by a region extending from mesh covers that attaches one chamber to the other chamber and substantially cover ears of the user. The chamber covering frontal region of the user's head and the front face includes a V shaped cut-out section conforming to the nose of the user.

The present disclosure is for a therapeutic thermal pack configured to conform to three dimensional surfaces. The therapeutic thermal pack comprises first and second plastic sheets bound together forming a sack. The sack further comprises a plurality of joint lines forming open or closed cells within the boundary of the sack. The open and closed cells are configured to enhance the flexibility of the sack. The sack contains a flowable thermal material within the open or closed cells.

Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to cooling a head of a patient. These systems and methods may comprise a cooling cap assembly comprising a heat exchanger configured to be wrapped around a head of a patient and a compression assembly releasably coupled to the heat exchanger. The compression assembly may comprise an enclosure and an inflatable member coupled to an internal surface of the enclosure. When coupled, the inflatable member may be positioned between the enclosure and the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may be separate from and moveable relative to the inflatable member.

A wearable icepack holding apparatus is disclosed. The wearable icepack holding apparatus comprises a body and one or more fastening means. The body is configured to be worn on a user's head. The body comprises a first pocket at a first portion of the body. Further, the body comprises a plurality of second pockets at one or more second portions of the body. Each of the first pocket and the plurality of second pockets is configured to hold one or more icepacks. Further, the one or more fastening means are attached at a third portion of the body and are configured to adjust a grip of the body on the user's head.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus, system, and method for the cooling and transferring of a fluid to a patient. The apparatus can be contained in an enclosure having at least two sections, that house an energy storage device, a power connection that may be coupled to an energy storage device; and a heat transfer assembly that cools the fluid. The enclosure may have a fluid receiving point, and a fluid transfer point with a sensor for monitoring the temperature of a fluid before transfer to a cooling wrap through a fluid transfer hose. A fluid transfer hose may couple the fluid transfer point at one end to a cooling wrap or cap at a second end. The fluid can be returned or received from the cooling wrap at the fluid transfer point, and the temperature of the fluid monitored when received at the fluid transfer point.
