A flexible cold pack includes a cell layer and a flexible layer. The cell layer includes a plurality of cells that are coupled to one another. Each cell of the plurality of cells includes a first liquid associated with a first freezing temperature. The flexible layer is disposed adjacent to the cell layer such that the flexible layer spans the plurality of cells of the cell layer. The flexible layer includes a second liquid or flexible semi-solid disposed therein. The second liquid or flexible semi-solid is associated with a second freezing temperature that is lower than the first freezing temperature.

A cold pack that can be fidgeted in a human hand. The cold pack encases a heat-transferring substance and provides a rigid portion suitable for being securely held by and readily fidgeted with fingers of said human hand. Heat-conducting grooves and heat-insulating surfaces are built into the rigid portion, with acute edges, jutting bumps, guard rails and other textures to provide grip. Fingertips alternate between holding the cold pack by said grooves and surfaces, thereby applying dynamic cold therapy to the same fingertips, rest of fingers, the hand, and other body parts requiring treatment for swelling, inflammation and trauma arising from friction, compression or minor burn injuries. Timely application of dynamic cold therapy can thus prevent formation of blisters in fingers and hands commonly seen in string players, musicians, sportspeople and workers caused by repetitive contacts with objects, and by unexpected contacts with hot surfaces.

The present disclosure is for a therapeutic thermal pack configured to conform to three dimensional surfaces. The therapeutic thermal pack comprises first and second plastic sheets bound together forming a sack. The sack further comprises a plurality of joint lines forming open or closed cells within the boundary of the sack. The open and closed cells are configured to enhance the flexibility of the sack. The sack contains a flowable thermal material within the open or closed cells.

The present invention relates to an adhesive sheet for cooling which preferably maintains a cooling effect utilizing the heat of vaporization of water and can exert a persistent high cooling effect. The adhesive sheet for cooling a hydrous polymer gel (A) and a fiber sheet (B) laminated thereon: the hydrous polymer gel (A) having a moisture content of 65% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less, the fiber sheet (B) having a thickness of 0.001 mm or more and 1 mm or less, a basis weight of 3 g/m.sup.2 or more and 70 g/m.sup.2 or less, and a water absorbency test value of from 1 to 16,000 seconds; wherein the adhesive sheet has an amount of moisture of 585 g/m.sup.2 or more and 1,700 g/m.sup.2 or less.

The invention is directed to a mouth piece for cooling of oral tissue of a patient during chemotherapy treatment. The mouth piece includes a cooling medium contained within the top element and the bottom element and able to retain a cooling environment within the mouth sufficient to reduce capillary blood flow to the patient's mouth. In one embodiment, an external chamber extends from the front of the mouth piece to house a cooling medium. A bladder is positioned inside the external chamber for storing a solution having a freezing temperature above the freezing point temperature of the cooling medium to assist in cooling the cooling medium.

A fingertip warming device that can be used on either hand, will aid in warming of fingertips to help increase blood flow to the fingertips of the user for the purpose of easing the process of drawing blood, which will be used to check the user's glucose levels. The device will have warming elements either embedded in the distal end of fingertip slots/compartments or allow for the use of a heatable insert that will also reside in the distal end of the device for the purpose of warming the user's fingertips. The device will provide either flaps or a hole through which the user's fingertips can be exposed to allow for collection of a blood sample for testing glucose levels.

A reusable cooling pack for a cast that includes a body with a sidewall of a substantially rigid material, of a slender configuration, with an upper end, with a lower end having a cap selectively removably coupled to the lower end, a body length separating the upper and lower ends, defining an internal channel enclosed by the sidewall and spanning longitudinally from the lower end of the body and along the body length, and with a handle member coupled to the body and extending outwardly from the upper end, wherein the internal channel encapsulated the body and the cap and configured to receive a temperature-modulating solution therein for cooling the user when inserted inside a user's cast.

A portable heating apparatus includes a top layer and a bottom layer connected to the top layer to form a cavity. An electric heating element is disposed within the cavity, and a temperature-retaining component, such as a gel layer, is affixed within the cavity adjacent to the electric heating element and adjacent to the top layer. A power cord is in electrical communication with the electric heating element and connectable to a power source to provide power to the electric heating element, the power cord detachable from the portable heating apparatus. The temperature-retaining component is capable of retaining heat generated by the electric heating element and creating a generally uniform distribution of heat across the top layer.

A temperature treatment apparatus includes a body made from a flexible and expandable material for attachment to a predetermined region of the human body requiring treatment with the body having a space formed therein, and a temperature radiating element shaped to be received within the space of the body and being configured to have a soft and malleable shape profile to apply temperature treatment to the predetermined region of the human body. The temperature radiating element includes an inner pouch containing a first phase change material that is able to be inserted within an outer pouch having a second phase change material, so that, upon insertion, the inner pouch is substantially encapsulated within the second phase change material of the outer pouch.

An apparatus includes a flexible frame, a coupling portion, and an insulating portion. The flexible frame is configured to support a thermal therapeutic member and is transitioned between a first configuration and a second configuration to place the therapeutic member in substantially continuous contact with a target portion of the body. The coupling portion is coupled to the flexible frame and is transitioned from a first configuration to a second configuration to retain the flexible frame in its second configuration. The insulating portion is transitioned from a first configuration to a second configuration to be coupled to the flexible frame. The insulating portion at least partially controls a transfer of thermal energy between the thermal therapeutic member and the target portion of the body.
