The hilotherapy wrap includes a conventional removable internal water bladder, an exterior cloth cover enclosing the bladder and a detachable strap assembly that allows the wrap to be donned and doffed by the user without assistance and using only one arm. The strap assembly includes a pair of elastic straps detachably connected to the cover by hook and loop fasteners affixed to a strap anchor and one of the strap ends. The strap assembly also includes a quick connect buckles and a slide or D-ring that allows both ends of the straps to be connected to the cover before tensioned snugly around the user.

A therapeutic device combines both hot and cold therapy to work simultaneously together. The therapeutic device has a first portion being made of a material capable of being heated to a first temperature and a second portion having a fastener capable of connecting to a cold pack having a second temperature. The application of both hot and cold to the site of an injury of a user stimulates blood circulation to an injured muscle with heat and reduces inflammation with cold to facilitate a faster and more efficient recovery process of the afflicted area.

A preparation method includes the following steps. Step 1: weighing the following raw materials by weight percentages: 5%-25% of acrylamide, 1%-10% of methylol acrylamide, 15-35% of glycerol, 0.1%-1% of sodium chloride, and 30%-50% of water; step 2: firstly adding water and glycerol to a reaction kettle, then adding acrylamide, methylol acrylamide and sodium chloride, and then stirring same together for 12-36 hours to obtain a stock material; step 3: filling the stock material in an outer bag, and pressing the outer bag containing the stock material with a flat weight for 30 to 180 minutes to form an elastic gel body in the outer bag; step 4: removing the outer bag and wrapping the elastic gel body with a wrapping cloth, and edge-binding the wrapping cloth along the shape of the elastic gel body.

Systems and methods for treating and rehabilitating animals are provided. The systems and methods include harnesses and related devices, including compresses and heating/icing devices. The devices further include and comprise features to enable the device to be contoured to and secured to an animal. Animals contemplated for use with devices and methods of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, canines and humans.

An exercise device is provided with a first element disposed at a first side and a second element disposed at a second side. The first element includes gripping features to prevent skidding or sliding of exercise device when first element is abutting a surface. The second element includes sliding features to facilitate sliding of exercise device when second element is abutting the surface. Thus, when an exercise practitioner desires to use the exercise device to prevent movement of a particular body part against the surface, the practitioner places the first element against the surface. Conversely, when the exercise practitioner desires to use the exercise device to facilitate movement of a particular body part against the surface, the practitioner places the second element against the surface. The exercise device further includes an insert which may be removed and heated or cooled to provide heating or cooling pad/pack to a body part.

A package comprises a mask; and an inactive heater, wherein the mask includes at least one product layer having infused thereon at least one active, and wherein the inactive heater is located in or in proximity to the mask to transfer heat to the mask upon activation of the heater.

The invention is a portable heater assembly for retaining a disposable heating element within and further providing a means for controlling heat output therefrom.

The present invention relates to a medical device for treating, preventing or ameliorating an eye condition. The device comprises a cover, at least a portion of which comprises an antimicrobial agent and is at least partially filled with temperature control means. In use, the cover is arranged to contact a subject's eye and/or a surrounding area thereof, and the temperature control means is configured to modulate the temperature of the cover to thereby treat, prevent or ameliorate the eye condition.

A therapeutic garment for cooling an arm of a user includes a vest that is configured to position over a torso of the user. A sleeve is coupled to and extends from a circumference of an armhole of the vest so that the sleeve is configured to insert the arm of the user. The sleeve comprises an inner layer that is coupled to an outer layer so that the inner layer and the outer layer define an interior space. The interior space extends from a cuff of the sleeve to the armhole. An orifice is positioned in the outer layer proximate to the armhole. The orifice is configured to selectively insert a cooling material into the interior space, positioning the cooling material to cool the arm of the user. A closure is coupled to the outer layer proximate to the orifice and is positioned to selectively and sealably close the orifice.
