A heat generator comprises a heat-generating composition that generates heat upon contact with air, a storage bag that can store the heat-generating composition in a storage part inside thereof, and an adhesive layer provided on one surface of the storage bag. The storage bag has, in plan view, an outer shape having a constricted part recessed inward between two convexly protruding first apex and second apex; and the storage bag is provided with a dividing part that divides the storage part and allows the storage bag to be folded between the first apex and the second apex.

A therapeutic device such as an eye mask or compress for delivery of moist heat therapy to a body part such as an eye of a human or animal subject. Example devices are configured to be worn with one or more eye coverage portions positioned over the subject's eye(s). The eye coverage portions have a front side configured for placement against the treated body part, and a back side opposite the front side. The eye coverage portions include recesses or retracted sections configured to be positioned over the wearer's cornea area. The shell of the eye coverage portions may further incorporate antimicrobial properties. Heat transfer mediums or fill materials can include hydrophilic zeolite, silica gel, and/or one or more phase change materials so as to provide controlled performance characteristics.

A weighted medical blanket is provided for containing a polymer gel; the device of the invention maintains consistent weight over time and can be warmed or cooled to be applied to patients to provide heating or cooling and can be easily cleaned, reused, and its weight reconstituted through the insertion of water through an insertion valve and insertion sleeve suited to reduce flow out of the device. Disclosed is a method for alleviating post-operative shivering utilizing the device of the invention.

Provided is a multilayer film for a disposable body warmer outer bag, and a disposable body warmer, which are excellent in gas barrier property that inhibits permeation of oxygen gas, water vapor and the like, which can allow swelling due to hydrogen gas generated during a storage period to be prevented, and which are excellent in seal strength, impact resistance and weather resistance. A disposable body warmer outer bag formed from a multilayer film comprising a first barrier layer (10) and a second barrier layer (20), wherein the first barrier layer (10) and the second barrier layer (20) consist of a polyvinylidene chloride layer (12) or a polyvinylidene chloride layer (22) obtained by coating at least one surface (upper portion in FIG. 1) of a heat-resistant resin substrate (11) or a heat-resistant resin substrate (21) with polyvinylidene chloride.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat generator that contains a volatile component and in which the volatile component is stably maintained during storage, the volatile component is prevented from adhering to a heat-generating section, and it is possible to achieve an excellent warming effect during use. This heat generator comprises a heat-generating section (1), an accommodation body (2) for accommodating the heat-generating section (1), an adhesive layer (3) provided to an attachment surface side of the accommodation body (2), and a release sheet (4) provided to the attachment surface side of the adhesive layer (3). As a result of including a volatile component in the adhesive layer (3) and respectively providing gas barrier layers (211), (41) to a first packaging material (21) constituting the attachment surface side of the accommodation body (2) and to the release sheet (4), it is possible to stably maintain the volatile component within the adhesive layer (3) during storage. It is thereby possible to prevent the volatile component from adhering to the heat-generating section (1) during storage and to achieve an excellent warming effect during use.

The present invention relates to a pad for treating skin diseases, comprising agar gel and a fiber layer fixed to the inside of the gel, and a manufacturing method therefor. The pad of the present invention inhibits blood vessel exudation symptoms according to vasodilation by maintaining a low temperature of the affected area, reduces an itchy sensation and, at the same time, removes, from the skin, plasma proteins and various plasma-derived substances accumulated in skin tissue, thereby having an effect of alleviating the symptoms of the affected area.

A therapeutic splint for the treatment of one or more joint areas of a patient. The splint includes longitudinal housings extending along a longitudinal axis (L) and arranged parallel to this longitudinal axis (L); one or more modular cartridges with therapeutic effect suitable for being arranged in the housings according to the joint area (s) to be treated. The splint further includes at least one transverse and/or oblique housing extending along one or more transverse and/or oblique axes (O), respectively, with respect to the longitudinal axis (L) of the splint. The transverse and/or oblique housing is arranged so as to cover an area extending around a joint to be treated. The modular cartridge or cartridges are arranged in the transverse and/or oblique housings according to the joint area(s) to be treated.

A support band provided with a band body which has an intermediate strip part and hook-and-loop fastener parts connected to both ends in a longitudinal direction of the intermediate strip part,

wherein the hook-and-loop fastener parts each have a hook-shaped fiber surface part provided on one surface thereof and a loop-shaped fiber surface part that is provided on the other surface opposite to the one surface and is capable of bonding to the hook-shaped fiber surface part by surface contact,

each of the hook-shaped fiber surface parts and the loop-shaped fiber surface parts is continuously or intermittently provided so as to extend from one end part to the other end part in a longitudinal direction of each of the hook-and-loop fastener parts, and

the band body has a total length allowing the band body to be helically wrapped around a user from the lower abdomen, past the lower back, toward the chest.

An eye mask-type hydrogen supply device that is freely portable when carried by a user and with which it is possible to supply hydrogen to the areas around both eyes and the eyeballs while warming the eyelids, wherein the eye mask-type hydrogen supply device can be used continuously by replacing a hydrogen gas supply pack.

A thermal device having a waterproof pouch including a first member having a first perimeter and an first waterproof outer surface, and, a second member having a second perimeter and a waterproof second outer surface, wherein the first and second members are partially joined about the first and second perimeter, respectively, and a cavity is formed between the first and second members, a removable insert arranged to be disposed within the cavity, wherein the insert comprises thermal material capable of being heated or cooled, and, a barrier member having an inner surface, wherein the inner surface of the barrier member is releasably secured to the first outer surface of the first member via at least one attachment means.
