A device for treating eyes, eyelids or both, in the form of a handheld housing is disclosed herein. The device has a first chamber, a second chamber acting as a vapor reservoir, and hydrophilic material disposed within the first chamber. The hydrophilic material has a plurality of pores configured to allow the fluid to seep from the first chamber to the hydrophilic material. A heating element is positioned adjacent the hydrophilic material to convert the fluid to a vapor and continuously regulate a temperature of the vapor. A user interface is disposed on an outside of the housing and configured to control a variable circulator, which in turn controls the temperature of the vapor reaching the user. A method for treating eyes, eyelids, or both is also disclosed.

A method of controlling an infant care device includes identifying, via a location tracking system, a device location of the infant care device within a care facility by locating a device location tag on the infant care device, and also identifying any local clinician tags worn by a clinician within a predetermined area around the device location. The local clinician tags are compared to a list of authorized clinician tags to identify whether at least one local authorized clinician tag is within the predetermined area around the infant care device. User input is received at a user interface associated with the infant care device to modify operation of the infant care device. Operation of the infant care device is modified based on the user input only if at least one local authorized clinician tag is within the predetermined area around the infant care device at the time of receiving the user input.

An eye moisturizer includes: a pair of hot water containers for storing hot water from which water vapor is generated; a connection panel coupled to the hot water containers to allow the hot water containers to be spaced apart from each other; a glabella support disposed between the hot water containers to maintain a height of a user's face; a lower support protruding from the underside of the connection panel to prevent falling; and water vapor discharge portions formed on tops of the hot water containers or the connection panel to discharge the water vapor therefrom, while preventing the hot water containers from coming into contact with the eyes, where the waver vapor is fed to the eyes seeing vertically the hot water containers and to the skin around the eyes.

A cooling bed system is configured to provide a cooling airflow around a patient suffering from heat exhaustion, heat stroke and or burns. A cooling bed system produces an airflow over a patient and preferably an airflow from both above and below the patient to more effectively and quickly cool the patient A cooling bed system may also include a liquid dispenser that creates mist that is carried by the airflow to further cool the patient. A patient may be supported by a platform having a plurality of openings to allow airflow and mist to pass therethrough. A controller controls the airflow rate and/or temperature of the air, and may also control the liquid dispensing rate and/or temperature of the liquid as a function of an input from a temperature sensor to effectively and safely cool the patient.

The invention relates to an eye mask for treating dry eyes and other eye conditions related to blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction. The eye mask acts as a warm compress which ensures the eyelids are heated to expedite eyelid expression to balance out the tear film and treat dry eyes. In one embodiment, an eye mask for treating an ocular condition includes: a fabric having a first layer and a second layer opposite the first layer; and a heat diffusing fill material enclosed between the first and the second layers. The first layer and the second layer are stitched together substantially along their edges. The fill material is configured to deliver a moist heat to an ocular surface.

A mesenchymal stem cell extract and its use are provided, wherein the mesenchymal stem cell extract comprises a trophic factor(s), such as bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7), stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), C-X-C chemokine receptor type-4 (CXCR4), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and/or interleukin-17 (IL-17), and wherein the extract is especially suitable for repairing skin aging.

The invention relates to a portable cooling device for humans and/or animals, in particular a vest, a jacket, a cape, a coat or a blanket, characterized in that the portable cooling device (10) comprises at least two water atomizers, which are connected thereto, together with the reservoirs (2.2, 5) and at least two fans (2.1, 6), in that the portable cooling device (10) has a fixing device so that, when in use, a free ventilation and cooling region (11, 12) is formed between the portable cooling device (10) and the surface to be cooled (13, 14) of the human and/or animal, and in that the fans (2.1, 6) and the water atomizers together with the reservoirs (2.2, 5) for ventilating and cooling said ventilation and cooling region (11, 12) are arranged next to one another.

A hand-held or wearable device for cooling tissue of an eye of a patient is disclosed. In one aspect, the device includes a reservoir having fluid therein and a support connected to the reservoir and configured to be positioned on a face of the patient. The device also includes a nozzle positioned proximate to the support and fluidically connected to the reservoir, the nozzle configured to pass the fluid from the reservoir onto a surface of the eye. The device further includes a cooling element configured to cool the fluid from the reservoir such that it exits the nozzle at a temperature of between 100 C. and 15 C. The device further includes an ultrasonic vibrator positioned near the nozzle and configured to generate mist from at least part of the fluid.
