A sleep mask is created comprising a sleep mask cover that can accommodate a weighted mask component and a thermal mask component. The sleep mask cover may include a fastening mechanism at the opening which may be removably engaged or disengaged to disable or enable, respectively, access to the opening for insertion of the weighted mask component and the thermal mask component. The weighted mask component may include a set of eye panels that are devoid of weight material to prevent unwanted pressure on a human user's eyes when the sleep mask is worn around the head of a human user. Further, the weighted mask component may include a pocket for insertion of the thermal mask component.

In accordance with one embodiment, as originally conceived, a holder system is given that comprises a main body with a compartment for storing an energy source, such as a heating or cooling pack, and a method for securing the source within the compartment. The main body is fitted with an adjustable attaching method used to secure the main body, with energy source, around a host.

A perspiration absorption/prevention device designed for use in medical applications, specifically for use by surgeons or other medical personnel. The device is preferably comprised of a headband base member, an absorbent pad, a pocket member and a cooling means stored therein, but may further comprise an adjustment means for further securing the device to a user's forehead or neck area. The cooling means prevents the formation of perspiration on the user, and fatigue generally. Further, any perspiration that does form is quickly absorbed by the absorbent pad before it can drip from the user and onto the patient, surgical tools, etc. The absorbent pad is both detachable from the remainder of the device, and disposable. In this manner, the remainder of the device can be recycled or reused, costs may be lowered and medical waste reduced.

Methods and systems for providing distributed vibration therapy. The vibration device includes a plurality of vibration motors that are located along a grid. The vibration motors are embedded on a basal pad. A primary diffuser overlays the embedded the vibration motors. The device is portable and can be adaptable to a target body part.

Implementations of a device configured to induce vasodilation of a superficial vein and methods of using the device are provided. The device is configured to ease the process of venipuncture by increasing blood flow to a superficial vein. The device is configured to increase local blood flow to a superficial vein by applying heat and/or vibration at, or near, a prospective puncture site. In this way, vasodilation of the superficial vein may be induced. The device comprises a strap, a flexible heating element, at least one vibration element, a power source, and an ON/OFF switch for selectively energizing both the heating element and the at least one vibration element. In some implementations, the device may further comprise a thermal control switch configured to vary the temperature reached by the heating element and/or a vibratory element control switch configured to vary the vibratory intensity of the at least one vibration element.

An arm warming device including a sleeve. A shoulder cover is connected to a proximal end of the sleeve. A strap is connected to the shoulder cover to secure the arm warming device to the user. A heating element is disposed within the sleeve for applying heat to the arm of the user. The heating element comprises far infrared fiber material. The sleeve includes an interior layer, a central layer, and an outer layer of a substantially waterproof material. The heating element is integrated with the central layer for applying heat to the arm of the user.

Eye masks and associated processes are disclosed herein. These masks and associated processes may involve positioning a mask over the eyes and nearby glands of a user and applying heat and/or moisture. This treatment may provide therapeutic benefits, including therapy of Meibomian gland disease and other sources of dry eye. Other physical benefits can also include mechanically gently holding eyelids closed and promoting relaxation and reduction of stress.

A personal cooling system for maintaining an individual at a preferred predetermined temperature in the outdoor environment of a venue, for an extended period of time, according to one embodiment includes a first cooling element comprising a phase change material (PCM) and at least one cooling station for providing any one of an additional one or more frozen cooling elements, each having a PCM, and at least one freezing medium for freezing any of said cooling elements. The cooling station is installed at the venue.

A leg wrap has an elongate body portion having an outer layer and an inner layer that define one or more interior spaces configured to receive one or more cold packs. Preferably, the body portion is sized to cover at least a substantial entirety of a length of the user's leg and, when wrapped around the user's leg, to cover at least a substantial entirety of a circumference of the user's leg. In some configurations, multiple sizes of the leg wrap can be provided to suit a range of users. The leg wrap also includes a plurality of retention elements configured to retain the leg wrap in the wrapped orientation on the user's leg.

The hilotherapy wrap includes a conventional removable internal water bladder, an exterior cloth cover enclosing the bladder and a detachable strap assembly that allows the wrap to be donned and doffed by the user without assistance and using only one arm. The strap assembly includes a pair of elastic straps detachably connected to the cover by hook and loop fasteners affixed to a strap anchor and one of the strap ends. The strap assembly also includes a quick connect buckles and a slide or D-ring that allows both ends of the straps to be connected to the cover before tensioned snugly around the user.
