A neck fan includes an arc-shaped shell configured to hang around user's neck and at least four fan assemblies arranged in the shell. The shell includes a first part and a second part. Each of the first part and the second part defines an accommodating space, air inlets and air outlets communicated with the accommodating space, at least one partition is arranged in the accommodating space and configured to divide the accommodating space into at least two accommodating parts arranged along an extension direction of the shell. Each of the fan assemblies is arranged in one of the at least two accommodating parts and is configured to direct air into the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air inlets and to direct air out of the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air outlets.

The invention pertains to an applicator device 10 for an apparatus 100 used in a localized cryotherapy treatment. The applicator device 10 is configured, when positioned over a body area to be treated, to receive and to uniformly distribute across the entire area covered thereby a stream of medium, such as air, adjusted to a temperature equal to or above −40 degrees Celsius (° C.) and directed, at a predetermined speed, via said applicator 10 to the area to be treated, whereby a cold-induced thermal shock response is developed in skin and an underlying tissue within the area covered by said applicator. Related apparatus 100 and a method are further provided.

A cervical collar that facilitates therapeutic hypothermia is provided and includes a cooling device having a front portion and a back portion fixedly coupled to the front portion on one side and removably coupled to the front portion on an opposite side. A fastening device removably couples the back portion to the front portion on the opposite side. The cooling device induces hypothermia in at least a portion of a patient. A sensor is provided that measures a physical characteristic of the patient.

Each of the first part and the second part defines an accommodating space, air inlets and air outlets communicated with the accommodating space, at least one partition is arranged in the accommodating space and configured to divide the accommodating space into at least two accommodating parts arranged along an extension direction of the shell. Each of the fan assemblies is arranged in one of the at least two accommodating parts and is configured to direct air into the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air inlets and to direct air out of the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air outlets.

A method of cooling a mammal with an implantable blood pump. The method includes measuring a temperature of an internal controller, the internal controller being in communication with the implantable blood pump. an alert is generated if the temperature of the internal controller exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold.

A freezable pet harness is an apparatus that cools down the pet's body while also comforting the pet during hot days. The apparatus may include a back-bracing pad, a neck-bracing strap, a girth-bracing band, and at least one primary gel pack. The back-bracing pad corresponds to the portion of the apparatus covering the pet's back. The neck-bracing strap secures the apparatus to the pet's neck to prevent the apparatus from getting loose. The girth-bracing band keeps the back-bracing pad positioned against the pet's back while also securing the apparatus to the pet's body. The at least one primary gel pack enables the apparatus to remain cool enough to maintain the pet's body cool when the apparatus is being worn by the pet. The at least one primary gel pack also weights down the back-bracing pad against the pet's body so that the apparatus can also serve as a gel-weighted blanket.

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.

A conformable garment or device, for example, for performing heat exchange with a patient, includes one or more tubes. At least one of the one or more tubes has a lumen configured to receive fluid for flowing through the lumen of that tube to heat or cool the tube. The one or more tubes may be coupled to form a conformable fabric or material, such that the conformable fabric or material conforms to a non-planar shape. The conformable garment or device may conform to cover a particular portion of the patient's body to heat or cool the patient's body.

Provided is a headgear including first and second holding parts that respectively hold first and second cooling members. In a worn state, the first and second holding parts are respectively positioned laterally to left and right carotid arteries. The headgear includes a headgear main body to be worn on a head and a neck cover that covers a neck, the first and second holding parts are provided in the neck cover, the first holding part is a first pocket that stores the first cooling member, the second holding part is a second pocket that stores the second cooling member, and the headgear includes a coupling part that detachably couples a left end part and a right end part of the neck cover.

Headwear for cooling the neurocranium region of a user's head and thereby the user's brain. In particular, the headwear provides selective cooling to specific areas of the parietal region, the frontal region, the temporal region and the occipital region of the cranium associated with the drainage system of the brain following a traumatic injury.
