The Pocketed Compression sheath is polyester compressive material formed into an open-ended sheath. Squares of the same type of polyester material are sewn onto the sides of the open-ended sheath to form pockets. The sheath is intended to be slid onto an extremity such as foot. Figure B illustrates a larger version intended to be utilized for the mid to upper leg. The pockets are intended to be place holders for heating packs or ice packs to help minimize swelling and pain in muscles and joints.

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.

A temperature therapy system and a method for temperature control for such a temperature therapy system are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a temperature therapy system has a retention mechanism and a plurality of temperature modulation systems attached to the retention mechanism, wherein each of the plurality of temperature modulation systems comprises a thermoelectric cooler. The wearable personal temperature therapy system may have a plurality of temperature sensors and a plurality of conductive flags, wherein each of the plurality of conductive flags is adhered to a respective thermoelectric cooler and a respective temperature sensor. The wearable personal temperature therapy system may have a control module electrically coupled to each of the plurality of temperature modulation systems and each of the plurality of temperature sensors, wherein each of the temperature modulation systems is controlled based on a control voltage applied to the thermoelectric cooler of the respective temperature modulation system.

A temperature modulation assembly and a multi-layer retention mechanism for such a temperature therapy device are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a temperature modulation assembly for a temperature therapy device has a heat spreader and a mounting plate coupled to a bottom portion of a spacer, wherein the heat spreader is disposed between the mounting plate and the spacer. The temperature modulation assembly has a heatsink and a fan coupled to a top portion of the spacer, wherein the heatsink is disposed between the top portion of the spacer and the fan. The temperature modulation assembly further includes a heating and/or cooling device disposed within a central opening of the spacer, wherein the heating and/or cooling device is located between the heatsink and the heat spreader.

A mobile, self-contained cold therapy device having a container including an internal liquid or ice water tank, air and water pumps for driving air and water to a cold therapy pad with internal air and water bladders, wherein the pad is worn on an injured region of a user. The device includes an electronic controller for controlling air and water flow to and from the bladders, and a holder for supporting the container and worn on the user's body for portable, hands-free mobility while receiving cold therapy. Nipples are incorporated into a thermal conduction surface of the pad and reciprocated into the user's injured region by an air bladder to further reduce edema.

A medical device (10) is provided. The device comprises an elasticated textile body (12) having at least one opening (14,16) into which a limb may be inserted. The device further comprises at least one textile receptacle (17) welded to the elasticated textile body (12), the at least one receptacle containing a thermal storage medium.

A modular therapeutic eye mask is an apparatus that is used to help the user to sleep naturally and comfortably while receiving various therapeutic benefits. To do so, the apparatus includes a mask body, a support band, and a plurality of therapeutic inserts. The mask body is designed to be comfortably worn around the user's eyes to completely block any light from the surroundings. The mask body is also designed to retain the plurality of therapeutic inserts as well as other mask accessories that help the user to naturally sleep. The support band is designed to comfortably position the mask body and the plurality of therapeutic inserts retained within the mask body against the user's face. The plurality of therapeutic inserts includes several therapeutic inserts that provide various therapeutical benefits when at least one therapeutic insert is used with the mask body while the user is resting.

Methods and systems for providing pain therapy by utilizing cold/heat-assisted distributed vibration therapy. The pain therapy device includes a plurality of vibration motors that are located along a grid. The device is portable and can be adaptable to the body part requiring pain therapy.

A spine cooling device is configured to hold the evaporative cooling textile in contact with a wearer's skin, particularly in a location between the wearer's hips and extending toward the wearer's tailbone. The spine cooling device has a pocket to hold the evaporative cooling textile, which textile can be periodically re-wetted while the spine cooling device remains in place on the wearer. The spine cooling device facilitates direct contact between the evaporative cooling textile and the wearer's skin, and is worn beneath the wearer's clothes. However, the device includes a water resistant layer placed to prevent the evaporative cooling textile from wetting the wearer's clothes.

A heated mask assembly includes a pouch that may be worn on a user's face. The pouch is comprised of a fluid absorbent material such as cotton or the like. Thus, the pouch may be soaked with a heated fluid. A heat pack is removably positioned in the pouch. The heat pack may be heated thereby facilitating the heat pack to provide heat therapy to the user's face when the pouch is worn. The heat pack provides heat therapy to the user's sinus cavities. A strap is coupled to the pouch. The strap may be wrapped around the user's head thereby facilitating the pouch to be retained on the user's face.
