20180221198 · 2018-08-09 ·

Panty underwear includes a removable pouch disposed above the crotch panel and between the leg openings. The pouch has a top opening opposite the wearer's vaginal opening, so that vaginal discharge flows to a sanitary napkin between the bottom of the pouch and the crotch panel. The pouch provides cooling to the wearer's labia and, in some embodiments, to her perineal area. The cooling is provided by either a single generally rectangular cooling pack with a central opening, or two cooling packs each being rectangular or J-shaped. The sanitary napkin can be internal or external to the pouch. Some embodiments of the underwear are intended for single use. Other embodiments of the underwear are intended to be re-usable, in that the sanitary napkin can be replaced and/or the cooling pack(s) can be re-used. The cooling pack(s) can be sealed with one-time or reusable thermal material therein, or they can be resealable with replaceable thermal material.

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophilic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.

Prewarming gown

A device for warming a human body. The device is a gown that has a body with a thorax portion and a leg portion. One embodiment prevents redistribution hypothermia with a distributor attached to the inside of the leg portion. The sleeves, leg portion, and posterior of the gown are heat reflective. The anterior of the thorax portion of the gown is non-reflective. The distributor inflates when heated air is supplied. The distributor exhausts air into the gown. Temperature is maintained at a desired level for the extremities, while preventing the thorax area from being elevated to an uncomfortable level. Another embodiment is a perioperative warming device. The device is a gown that has a thorax portion and a leg portion. Each portion has an independent air chamber and inlet. The two portions are releasably connected. The sleeves, leg portion, and anterior of the gown are heat reflective.

Wearable device for treatments to enhance circulation in lower torso
12178745 · 2024-12-31 ·

A wearable device for treatments to enhance circulation in a lower torso. The device has a pouch assembly and a strap assembly with a waist belt and lateral straps. The strap assembly is secured around a body. The lateral straps, waist belt, and body create semi-sealed interfaces, forming a functional pocket between the pouch assembly and the body. The pouch assembly can be worn on the front or back of the body. The pouch assembly captures and retains fluids against the body, and allows physical access to the treatment area. With a continuous source of water, the semi-sealed nature of the pouch allows for water to circulate the treatment area. The materials are resistant to temperature, water, suds, human biowaste, and pharmaceutical solutions. The design's practicality and effectiveness in improving lower torso circulation are underscored by the strap assembly's secure fit and standing treatment orientation.
