Patient warming device with patient access

A patient warming device with patient access for maintaining normothermia and/or treating hypothermia is provided. The device includes a first compliant layer and a second compliant layer sealed together around an outer border to contain a liquid between the two layers and to form a wrap that surrounds and conforms to a body portion of a patient. A plurality of flaps extends from opposite sides of a generally longitudinal central portion of the wrap, such that one or more flaps from the opposite sides fasten to each other to surround the body portion. The flaps are openable during functional use to provide access to an underlying patient body surface. A continuous fluid flow path extends between the first compliant layer and the second compliant layer between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet to carry liquid and deliver heat through the wrap.

Apparatus for thermal therapy treatment of a selected region of the body of a human or of an animal and method of operating said apparatus
12409061 · 2025-09-09 · ·

The invention relates to a device for use in the thermal therapy treatment of a selected region of the body of a human or of an animal, in particular for use in the treatment of tissue damage after surgical interventions, of injuries, of inflammations and of chronic diseases of the rheumatic type, and in particular for assisting chemotherapeutic treatments, comprising a temperature control device which is provided in order to control a temperature of a temperature control fluid, and a heat transfer device which is arranged to transfer heat to the selected region of the body, wherein the temperature control device is connected, in a fluid conducting manner, to the heat transfer device, and is further arranged to temper the heat transfer device with a heat transferring temperature control fluid flowing through the heat transfer device, and with a control device which is connected to the temperature control device and to the heat transfer device, wherein the control device is arranged to control the temperature control device, in order to cause the heat transfer device to be at least partially at an approximately uniform temperature in the region of a contact surface between the heat transfer device and the selected region of the body to be temperature controlled. The invention further relates to a method of operating the device.

APPARATUS FOR THERMAL THERAPY TREATMENT OF A SELECTED REGION OF THE BODY OF A HUMAN OR OF AN ANIMAL AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAID APPARATUS
20250360023 · 2025-11-27 ·

The invention relates to a device and method for thermal therapy of a selected region of a human or animal body, particularly for treating tissue damage after surgery, injuries, inflammation, chronic rheumatic conditions, and for supporting chemotherapy. The system includes a temperature control device that circulates a temperature-controlled fluid through a heat transfer unit configured for uniform skin contact, and a pressure device to optimize thermal transfer. During chemotherapy, the device maintains the selected region, such as hands or feet, at a target temperature to prevent or reduce chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy (CIPN). Sensors monitor temperature and pressure, enabling feedback control for consistent therapy. Methods include fitting the device to the patient, adjusting pressure, and maintaining even skin cooling throughout chemotherapy, thereby improving patient comfort, reducing adverse side effects, and supporting adherence to treatment. The invention provides improved outcomes in thermal therapy applications.
