BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION
A body temperature regulation device includes a wearable article, an enclosure on the article and defining an air path through the body temperature regulation device, a heat exchange system within the enclosure and extending through the article to expose a surface of the heat exchange system at an inner surface of the article, and a blower attached to the article and positioned to direct an air flow through the heat exchange system. The article may be worn on a human limb with the surface of the heat exchanger contacting a wearer at a body location where blood flows close to skin. Heat flows through the heat exchanger between the wearer and air flow to heat or cool the blood flows and to regulate the body temperature of the wearer.
NECK FAN
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.
NECK FAN
A neck fan includes an arc-shaped housing configured to hang around user's neck and at least four fan assemblies arranged in the housing. The housing 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 housing. 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.
APPLICATOR DEVICE AND RELATED APPARATUS
Disclosed is an applicator device for an apparatus used in a localized cryotherapy treatment. The applicator device 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 the applicator 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 the applicator. Related apparatus and a method are further provided.
Cooling Sheet
A cooling sheet is provided. The cooling sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a moisture storage layer which stores therein moisture, an absorbing layer which is fused to one surface of the moisture storage layer to absorb the moisture and is applied with microcapsules containing a functional material, and a water repellent layer which is fused to the other surface of the moisture storage layer to be in contact with skin, prevents the moisture from escaping and absorbs air from outside. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a cooling sensation using heat of evaporation when in contact with skin while preventing moisture from escaping to the outside along seam lines.
ALTERING TEMPERATURE IN A MAMMALIAN BODY
The present application relates to systems and methods for altering temperature in a mammalian body. Optionally, the systems and methods can be used to lower or raise core body temperature of a mammalian subject. Optionally, the systems and methods can be used to lower or raise the temperature of glabrous skin of a mammalian subject.
COOLING NECK WRAP
A neck wrap for cooling down a neck area of a person. The neck wrap can be worn around a neck and have two pouches. Each of the two pouches can receive a liquid container that can be filled with cold liquid and optionally frozen. The two pouches having a contact area coming in contact with skin made of heat conductive material that can permit removing heat from the neck area by the cold liquid in the liquid containers when the neck wrap is worn around the neck.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THERMAL BLOCKADE OF NERVES
Embodiments disclosed include systems, methods, and apparatuses, directed to administering thermal neural modulation to mammalian tissue to control nerve conduction. Embodiments disclosed include an apparatus comprising a thermal energy source, a first heat exchanger coupled to the thermal energy source and configured to receive thermal energy therefrom, a thermal applicator configured to be disposed and secured to the anatomy of a subject having a nerve therein, in contact with the skin on the anatomy and overlying a treatment portion of the nerve, the thermal applicator configured to transfer thermal energy to the skin to raise the temperature of the treatment portion of the nerve above a physiologic temperature, a second heat exchanger is coupled to the thermal applicator and configured to transfer thermal energy thereto, and a fluid conduit having a first portion coupled to the first heat exchanger and a second portion coupled to the second heat exchanger. The fluid conduit is configured to have fluid circulated therethrough to convey thermal energy from the thermal energy source via the first heat exchanger and to the thermal applicator via the second energy at a temperature.
CARE TRAVEL SYSTEM AND METHOD
A care travel system which provides comfort and relief from headaches. It holds an ice pack or other chilled items against the head, neck, and shoulders. The device counteracts fevers when facing an illness. It effectively eliminates the need to take medication, which can make people sleepy and groggy or cause an allergic reaction. As designed it prevents soreness and discomfort that typically manifests during travel.
Thermal Therapy Garment Assembly
A thermal therapy garment assembly for includes a shirt that is wearable on a user. A plurality of pockets is each of the pockets is coupled to the shirt. A plurality of thermal packs is provided and each of the thermal packs is positionable in a respective one of the pockets. Each of the thermal packs is exposable to a heat source to apply heat therapy to strategic locations on the user's body. Each of the thermal packs is exposable to a cooling source to apply cold therapy to the strategic locations on the user's body. A plurality of straps is each coupled to the shirt. Each of the straps is tensionable along the shirt for compressing the shirt against the user's body. In this way each of the straps reduces blood circulation in the user's body for enhancing effectiveness of the heat or cold therapy.
