Apparatus and method for using a portable thermal device to reduce accommodation of nerve receptors
10188547 · 2019-01-29 · ·

A system and method for portably delivering a therapeutic dose of heat to the skin to relieve pain, reduce accommodation of thermal nerve receptors, promote healing, and deliver transcutaneous medications. The heating device is user programmable or preprogrammed to deliver according to a variety of cycles, patterns and algorithms. The cycles, patterns, and algorithms of the heat are programmable parameters, are under the user's control, and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the device. The heating algorithms are designed to interact with an individual user's thermal nerve receptors and other tissue characteristics and to reduce the tendency of the receptors to accommodate to the external stimuli with back pain, muscular pain, dysmenorrhea, headaches, fibromyalgia, post-herpetic neuralgia, nerve injuries and neuropathies, and sprains and strain. The device can also be used in conjunction with existing medical devices such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators (TENS) to increase the effectiveness of TENS devices.

THERMAL WRAP ARRANGEMENT FOR APPLYING HEAT/COLD TO THE MANDIBULAR REGION OF THE HEA
20190000665 · 2019-01-03 ·

A thermal wrap having identical side portions, each having a pocket formed therein for receiving thermal material such as gel packs or instant/single use chemically activated thermal packs. The side portions are made of an expandable material and connected at the top by at least two independently attached non-elasticated side straps or loop straps which slide through buckles and attach to two adjacent hook pieces, and at the bottom by a pair of cooperating chin straps made from the same material as the main structure that connects the two pouches which further ensures that the pockets allow for even application as well as increased pressure of thermal energy to the head, neck, or face including the mandibular region of the face according to the users desirable fit and pressure. The pockets are sized to receive standard sized gel packs with dimensions relative to the region of the body being treated.

Portable blowing device

A portable blowing device includes a body and fans arranged in the body. Air channels are arranged in the body and extend in the length direction of the body to allow airflow to pass through. Wind shields are arranged in the air channels, and a periphery of the wind shield is closely connected with a side wall of the air channel so that a sub-air channel is formed between the wind shield and the side wall of the air channel. Air outlets are formed in the side wall for communicating with outside and the sub-air channel, and airflow generated by the fan can enter the sub-air channel and then exits the air outlets. Because of the reduced volume of the sub-air channel, the airflow is concentrated after entering the sub-air channel, and airflow exiting the air outlets is strengthened, so that the cooling effect and the user experience are improved.
