An infant incubator heat control device includes a temperature-detecting device providing chamber interior and incubator heater temperature measured values. A first mode of operation has an interior temperature set value, a temperature of the heater set value is calculated as a function of the interior temperature set value and of the chamber interior temperature measured value. A controlled variable is calculated for the heater as a function of the temperature of the heater set value and of the heater measured value. A second mode of operation calculates a temperature of the heater set value independently of the chamber interior temperature measured value. A controlled variable is calculated for the heater as a function of the set value for the temperature of the heater and of the heater temperature measured value.

The present disclosure is directed at a hand warmer incorporated within a pocket of an article of clothing, the hand warmer comprising at least one heating element secured to the pocket, the heating element formed in a handlebar-shape and adapted to be grasped by a hand when inserted into the pocket, wherein the handlebar-shaped heating element comprises a heating wire encased in a thin, flexible heating pad, and is flexible in its entirety.

This invention discloses a handheld device to provide thermal therapy to tissue by contacting a surface heated with thermal energy to a patient's tissue. Thermal energy is continuously provided during operation. The handheld device comprises an assembly to provide heat operatively connected to a removable thermal energy applicator, the applicator is configured to provide different treatments, including heat application, debridement, and expression of the treated tissue or gland.

Methods, devices and systems for improving sleep (including reducing sleep onset and maintenance of sleep duration), enhancing, or increasing sleep, including (but not limited to) treating sleeping disorders such as insomnia.

A thermal therapy device has a fluid manipulating device for thermally manipulating and circulating therapy providing fluid via flexible conduit to a tissue interacting device. The thermal therapy device utilizes a thermoelectric cooling device including a chilled fluid reservoir for extracting heat from the tissue being treated during the cold therapy cycle and utilizes a resistive electric heater for heating the tissue being treated during the hot therapy cycle.

Devices and method for warm gas therapy is provided. Device comprises a gas warmer assembly to warm a first gas to a temperature in a first temperature range to obtain warm first gas. The device comprises a first delivery unit that can deliver the warm first gas to a main treatment chamber which encloses a sub-treatment chamber to retain heat therein. A second delivery unit can receive a therapeutic gas from a gas supply. The second delivery unit comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion substantially passes through the first delivery unit and therapeutic gas in the first portion is warmed by the warm first gas. The second portion delivers the warm therapeutic gas to a sub-treatment chamber. The sub-treatment chamber encloses a body part of a patient.

Presented herein are various systems, methods, and apparatuses for heating infusate by an induction heater e.g., an electromagnetic heater, and storing thermal energy in a reservoir of thusly heated infusate. In certain embodiments, a system includes a reservoir for containing an infusate, a fluid heater, a diversion valve, a patient line, and a recirculation line.

A hand warmer comprising: a tubular sleeve having two extremities located along a longitudinal axis thereof, said sleeve defining a longitudinal opening therein, each extremity having defining an opening adapted to receive hands; a heating element; and a battery operatively connected to the heating element; wherein said tubular sleeve comprising an inner wall and an outer wall and adapted to receive the battery between the inner and outer wall and wherein the heating element is located within the longitudinal opening and is adapted to be grasped by a hand when such is inserted into the longitudinal opening of the hand warmer.

A scraping plate is provided. The scraping plate includes a main body, a storage chamber for storing a liquid medicine and an electric heater for heating the liquid medicine. One end of the main body is provided with a scraping blade, and the other end opposite to the scraping blade is provided with a grip portion. Both the storage chamber and the electric heater are provided inside the main body. A surface of the scraping blade is provided with at least one liquid medicine outlet, wherein each liquid medicine outlet is communicated with the storage chamber.

A heat treatment device with a handle portion, a tip portion, a power source, and a heating element. The tip portion is heatable to a desired temperature and can be positioned against an affected area for therapeutic treatment. The device can also have control circuitry that can adjust a current flowing to the heating element to regulate the treatment temperature.
