A kit for the assembly of a cryogenic chamber, including at least four wall modules including respective bodies of insulation; wherein the at least four wall modules include at least two end wall modules and at least two lateral wall modules; wherein the at least four wall modules include at least one vent wall module including a lumen surrounded by insulation, a connector extending from a surface of the vent wall module to the lumen, and a vent extending from the surface of the vent wall module to the lumen, wherein the connector is in fluid communication with the vent via the lumen; and an air chiller that is connectable to the connector of the vent module such that the air chiller is in fluid communication with the vent.

The present device provides a method and an apparatus for applying a vaporized endothermic gas to a skin surface to provide numbing of the application site for injection with a syringe. The device includes a container or canister containing an endothermic gas that rapidly absorbs heat when released to the atmosphere. A depressible actuating member or trigger propels the gas or vapor through an outlet nozzle that is constructed to break the liquid into a vapor that can be projected as a stream of vapor along a delivery axis that intersects a delivery axis of the syringe needle; therefore, the gas or vapor can be successively delivered to an injection site with minimal repositioning of the device.

A brassiere incorporating a hot flash mitigation system for cooling the upper torso, chest and neck area of a wearer is disclosed. The brassiere comprises two front panel sections connectively engaged to each other, at least one rear panel section connectively engaged to each of the two front panel sections. The hot flash mitigation system provides a deformable reservoir for containing and dispensing a fluid therefrom. The deformable reservoir is disposed in mating and contacting engagement with the brassiere and has an outlet in cooperative fluid engagement thereto. At least one duct disposed proximate to one of the at least two front panel sections is in fluid engagement with the outlet of the deformable reservoir. At least one nozzle disposed upon an end of the duct distal from the deformable reservoir operatively conveys the fluid from the duct to the upper torso, chest and neck area of the wearer.

A personal inhaling apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an ultrasonic personal inhaler with ultra-fine mist transducer that delivers both cool and warm mist using a heater, a face mask, a fluid supply means, and a power source including batteries and/or corded power supply. The apparatus may include a receptacle for a scented pad placed in contact with the heater. Indicators functioning in a pre-determined manner provide indication on if the device is delivering a cool mist, a warm mist, is switched-OFF, a level of charge of a power source, and a level of the fluid in the fluid supply means.

Refers to equipment (E), the objective of which is to take extremely cold air to a cap (1) comprised by a cylindrical duct (2), located in the upper part of the cylindrical structure (3) of the cap (1) which is coated by a thermal foam (ESP) and any given material (M), wherein the cylindrical duct (2) overlaps a sprinkler (ASP), which is located in the inner part (I) of the cylindrical structure (3) of the cap (1), further, the cap (1) comprises fins (4) which form an angle of 90° in relation to the inner walls (I) of the cylindrical structure (3) of the cap (1), which finally also has reinforcement ribs (5) and a circular support (6) endowed with a central hollow (7) circular and/or oval coated by a thermal foam (ESP) throughout its perimeter.

Methods for cerebral cooling are described. Cooling assemblies include elongate tubular members, a reservoir containing a pressurized fluid, and a manifold connecting the reservoir and elongate tubular members. After insertion of the elongate tubular members into the patient's nostrils, a pressurized fluid is delivered onto a surface of the patient's nasal cavity through a plurality of ports in the elongate tubular members. The delivery of the fluid causes cooling by direct heat transfer through the nasopharynx and hematogenous cooling through the carotids and the Circle of Willis.

A portable body cooling device, worn on the upper torso of a person, that uses a compressed or liquefied gas cartridge to vent cool gas onto the skin of the wearer as well as to act as a heat sink during the gas release. The cartridge is in contact with a conductive material that transfers heat from the skin of the wearer to the cartridge. The cooling device provides immediate and temporary relief from heat flashes.

Cooling suit including legs, torso and arms, which includes outwardly opening hose sleeve in the hip area, inwardly branching gas ducts having several outlet openings. A pressurized gas cylinder for carrying along and connecting outlet hose with coupling piece to this hose sleeve, and which comprises a valve and adjusting wheel for the regulated delivery of expanded gas into these gas ducts. The gas ducts in the upper-body have outflow openings in the area of the lower back, hips, neck area, armpits, arm joints, and sleeves. In the lower-body garment, outflow openings are arranged in the knees and the crotch area. This cooling suit is operated with a dry, compressed gas. The gas flowing from the pressure cylinder is expanded, subsequently cools down and then flows through the gas ducts and cools the body. Perspiration is carried away by the permanent gas supply via the breathable fabric of the suit.

A portable cooling device with a wristband (17) and a cooler arranged on the wristband (17), in which the cooler is designed as an air flow generator (1) for an airflow directed in an exhaust direction of the cooler (1), wherein the airflow generator (1) is arranged in a holder (11) which is fastened or formed to the wristband (17) and which at least has a extension (10) protruding in the exhaust direction, said extension (10) at least located sectionally within the airflow or enclosing the airflow at least sectionally. The invention thus provides a portable cooling device which can be designed to be extremely small and compact and can thus be worn inconspicuously. The device according to the invention is also robust and has a lower power consumption compared to conventional devices.

Disclosed is an applicator device for an apparatus used in a localized cryotherapy treatment. The applicator device is configured, when positioned over a body area to be treated, to receive and to uniformly distribute across the entire area covered thereby a stream of medium, such as air, adjusted to a temperature equal to or above −40 degrees Celsius (° C.) and directed, at a predetermined speed, via the applicator to the area to be treated, whereby a cold-induced thermal shock response is developed in skin and an underlying tissue within the area covered by the applicator. Related apparatus and a method are further provided.
