A modular kinesiology or physio tape adapted to produce heating or cooling. The tape includes a layer of material having a chamber for retention and release of a removable packet of cooling or heating material and a mechanism for securing the layer directly onto skin of a user. The removable packet of cooling or heating material has dimensions optimized for manual insertion into and removal from the chamber. Preferably, the material is flexible and includes an adhesive for securing the layer to the skin. The material has a first surface for contacting skin, a second surface parallel to the first surface for receiving and retaining the removable packet and an edge between the first and second surfaces. In one embodiment, multiple slits are provided in the second surface having dimensions adapted to receive and retain said packet. In yet another embodiment, a heating packet is implemented with a button/coin type battery circuit with an optional mechanism for controlling the generation of heat thereby.

A periocular dressing includes a base layer composed of a nonwoven material; a top layer having a composition bound to a polyurethane film, the composition including a hydrogel with a percentage by weight of bacitracin, the top layer to come into contact with a user's skin; and a removable membrane secured over the top layer and to be removed; the polyurethane film of the top layer is adhesively secured to the base layer; and the top layer promotes vasoconstriction and antibacterial properties.

The present invention provides a support band that comprises a size adjustable flexible abdominal belt including a back panel, a right side contouring panel, a left side contouring panel, a right front end panel, and a left front end panel, an internal pocket, an external pocket, one or more internal sleeve pockets, a plurality of compression straps, and a plurality of anterior rigid panels, and a plurality of posterior rigid panels.

A non-invasive, non-surgical, medication free therapy system for application to a targeted body location is provided. The therapy system includes a pouch having a first side and a second side. The first side is configured for contact with the targeted body location. Each of the first and second sides has an inner surface. The inner surfaces of the first and second sides define an internal cavity. A cold temperature source is contained within the internal cavity and is in direct contact with the inner surfaces of the first and second sides. One or more attachment straps are configured for attachment to the second side of the pouch and further configured to position the therapy system adjacent to the targeted body location. The one or more attachment straps still further configured for repeatable and removable attachment to the pouch.

A heel protector (100) includes a leg engaging section (101) and a foot engaging section (102) intersecting at a heel receiver (103). The leg engaging section (101) and the foot engaging section (102) define a leg insertion aperture (104). The leg engaging section (101) defines at least one aperture (203) disposed in an ankle region (205) to permit a connection tube (1002) extending from an inflatable bladder (901) of a compression device (800) to pass therethrough. The heel protector (100) and compression device (800) work together as a rehabilitation system (1300).

A device and method for treatment of hot flashes in perimenopausal and menopausal women. The device includes a cooling agent distributed over at least a portion of an area of the device, at least one liner positioned against and attached to at least one side of the cooling agent over at least the portion of the area of the device, and an adhesive. The adhesive is arranged on at least one side of the device so as to permit the device to be secured with respect to the anatomy of a user.

A flexible cold/hot compress strip includes a flexible strip body, and a thermoelectric cooler detachably installed to a side of the strip body. The other side of the strip body has a thermally conductive layer and a flexible contact layer. With the flexible design of the strip body, the thermally conductive layer and the contact layer, the whole cold/hot compress strip can be attached closely to human body for cold or hot compress, and the thermoelectric cooler has a detachable design for easy carry and use.

A cured liquid silicone rubber (“LSR”) body having an outer surface, an inner surface opposing the outer surface, a first end, a second end opposing the first end, a non-biased body length separating the first and second ends of the cured silicone body, a pre-formed pleated portion disposed circumferentially along the body length and operably configured to enable selective and elastically biased adjustment of the non-biased body length, non-pleated portions of the LSR body forming a smooth surface of the outer surface of the LSR body and flanking the pleated portion, forming a sleeve shape with at least one enclosed opening and a sleeve channel for receiving a user's limb and defined by the inner surface of the LSR body, and defining a plurality of perforations thereon, disposed on the non-pleated portions of the LSR body that span through the LSR body.

A medical pad for exchanging thermal energy between a targeted temperature management (TTM) fluid and a patient is disclosed. The pad can include a fluid containing layer and a fluid conduit attached therewith via rotatable joint where the joint is configured to facilitate rotation of the fluid conduit with respect to the pad. A method of manufacturing the pad can include coupling a first member of the rotatable joint to a fluid delivery line, coupling the second member to the fluid containing layer, and inserting the first member within an opening of the second member to facilitate a snap-fit retention mechanism between first member and the second member. A method of using the pad can include rotating the fluid delivery line relative to the thermal pad via the rotatable joint when initially applying the pad to the patient or when adjusting an orientation of the pad on the patient.

Disclosed is a therapy pack for applying thermotherapy to a user's groin for treatment of various conditions or injuries, and to aid in surgical recovery. The therapy pack has an insulated side and an uninsulated side, a two-lobed shape with a soft outer border, and contains a quantity of thermal storage material. The therapy pack also includes one or more window(s) without thermal storage material to reduce proximity of the material to genitalia. Embodiments include a three-window version and a single window version. Embodiments also include the use of one or more supplemental therapy pack(s) and a cover. Also disclosed is a method of using the therapy pack to apply thermotherapy to the male groin. Embodiments of the method include applying the therapy pack with the insulated side facing the user's skin, followed by applying the pack with the uninsulated side facing the skin.
