Heating body and method for producing the same

A heating body, in which a heat-generating composition that generates heat in the presence of air, is accommodated in a bag body formed by heat sealing a one-surface side laminated base material including a first base material and a second base material, and a covering material, at a peripheral edge portion thereof. The first base material has a nonwoven fabric layer and a heat sealable resin layer; and the second base material is a sheet in which an olefin-based nonwoven fabric layer and a resin film are laminated using an olefin-based resin. The first base material and the second base material are capable of forming a space into which a body part can be inserted or held. The heat sealable resin layer and the nonwoven fabric layer are bonded together, and the resin film of the second base material and the covering material are bonded together.

20180168853 · 2018-06-21 ·

A skin care device includes a receptacle that includes an outlet port and defines a chamber that extends from the outlet port to a sump, which is defined by an impermeable portion of the receptacle, and is disposed for receiving one end of a tube inserted through the outlet port. Wicking material is received over a permeable portion of the receptacle for location over a particular region of the skin. When a vacuum is applied at the sump, the particular region is cooled by evaporative cooling when the particular region is moist. The device includes at least one vent that is so disposed as to promote air flow and to prevent a vacuum from occurring at a portion of the skin adjacent where the wicking material is located while the vacuum is applied. The device can be used for wound care and to dispose wicking material within a skin fold,

Therapeutic system and method for flexing and extending metacarpal and phalangeal joints
09968506 · 2018-05-15 ·

A therapeutic system and method flexes, extends, and exercises the metacarpal and phalangeal joints of an affected hand. The system comprises a therapeutic glove that receives an affected hand and adjustably applies movement to the fingers and thumb in a first forward direction to form a flexion position, and a second rearward direction to form an extension position. The position of the fingers and thumb as well as the amount of pressure applied is controlled by manipulating restraining members to pull and restrain the fingers and thumb and then attaching to a corresponding body and wrist portion on the glove. The extent of the pulling, including the pressure applied to the metacarpal and phalangeal joints, is fixed, adjustable, and easily releasable. A secondary therapeutic glove compensates for the tactile perception feedback from an unaffected hand. A therapeutic pain relief modality is applied prior to donning the glove.

Method, and system for multi-layer cosmetic pads and use thereof

A cosmetic pad, having a top layer constructed of non-woven material, a bottom layer constructed in a manner to allow for ventilation through the bottom layer, and at least one heating element between the top layer and the bottom layer and methods for using the cosmetic pad and cosmetic agents therein are provided. A system for applying a cosmetic agent to a subject's skin, hair, hands, feet or face is also provided.
