Targeted Temperature Management Systems, Pads, and Methods Thereof for Treating Burn Wounds
20220233344 · 2022-07-28 ·

Disclosed herein are targeted temperature management (“TTM”) systems, pads, and methods thereof for treating burn wounds. A method of a system for TTM can include a pad-connecting step, a pad-placing step, and a fluid-circulating step. The pad-connecting step can include connecting an inlet and an outlet of a pad to a hydraulic system of a control module. The pad can include a multilayered pad body having a conduit layer configured to convey a temperature-controlled fluid provided by the control module. The pad-placing step can include placing the pad on a wounded portion of a patient's body with a sterile, thermally conductive wound-healing layer of the pad body in contact with a burn wound of the wounded portion of the patient's body. The fluid-circulating step can include circulating the temperature-controlled fluid through the conduit layer to cool the wounded portion of the patient's body, thereby treating the wound to promote healing.

OXYGEN ACTIVATED HEATER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A heating device having at least one package surrounding a hygroscopic salt and a heater mix having at least a metal reactant. The heating device may include a source of moisture positioned in the package, the source of moisture initially generating an atmosphere having nearly 100% relative humidity inside the package. The hygroscopic salt is spatially separated from the source of moisture within the at least one package and positioned so as to absorb moisture out of the atmosphere to form an electrolyte, and the hygroscopic salt is further positioned so that the electrolyte generated by the hygroscopic salt is in contact with the heater mix. Rather than have an internal source of moisture, the at least one package may be water vapor permeable to allow ambient moisture from the atmosphere to enter the interior of the package to combine with the hygroscopic salt to generate an electrolyte.

Targeted Temperature Management Systems, Pads, and Methods Thereof

Disclosed herein are systems, pads, and methods thereof for targeted temperature management. A first pad can include a multilayered pad body and an inflatable cuff around the pad body. The pad body can include a conformable layer, a conduit layer over the conformable layer, and an insulation layer over the conduit layer. The conformable layer can include a conformable material configured to conform around a limb of a patient. The conduit layer can include one or more conduits configured to convey a fluid through the conduit layer. The insulation layer can be configured to insulate the conduit layer from an ambient temperature of an environment around the patient. The inflatable cuff can be configured to press the pad body against the limb of the patient when the inflatable cuff is inflated. Methods of the systems and pads can include methods of use.

GARMENT WITH A CONFIGURABLE CONVECTIVE DEVICE
20220160539 · 2022-05-26 ·

At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a combination, comprising: a garment, a configurable convective device, and an attachment device configured to attach the configurable convective device to the garment. The configurable convective device comprises a pneumatic structure having a first portion, a second portion, and an inflatable channel connecting the first portion and the second portion and at least one opening into the pneumatic structure. In some cases, the relative positions of the first portion and the second portion of the pneumatic structure can be rearranged.

PATIENT WARMING SYSTEMS AND CORRESPONDING METHODS
