Heating / cooling body treatment therapy pad system
A heating/cooling therapy treatment pad system incorporates a plurality of therapy pads that can be coupled together by connectors and attachments to form an integrated therapy pad assembly. The thermal pads have pouches for receiving thermal inserts that may be heated or chilled. The thermal inserts may be cylindrical in shape and there may be thermal insert gaps, or spaces between the pouches to enable better conformability of the therapy pad to a person's body, such as around the neck. The heating/cooling therapy treatment pad system may include a neck therapy pad, spine therapy pad, head and face therapy pads, shoulder therapy pad, lumbar therapy pad, armpit thermal therapy pad and a thermal therapy pad vest. The system of pads interconnect to provide tailored thermal therapy to multiple areas of a user's body and may be used to effectuate rapid cooling and in particular for those suffering from heat exhaustion.
WEARABLE REHABILITATION AND RELAXATION AID
A wearable rehabilitation and relaxation sleeve aid is described that provides support and therapeutic benefits to an injured area. The wearable sleeve aid includes a first inner protective layer and an outer protective layer that form a pocket area between them. A removable pack may be inserted in the pocket area. The removable pack may be cooled or heated to bring the removable pack to the desired temperature. The wearable sleeve aid further provides compression to the targeted recovery area of a user's body to reduce swelling and pain.

Wearable Therapy System
A wearable therapy system comprises a therapy pack, a therapy pack holder including a body and a first fastener system, the body being configured to removably receive the therapy pack, and a therapy garment configured to be worn by a user and comprising at least one attachment area including a second fastener system. The therapy pack holder is removably attachable to the attachment area in a plurality of positions with the first fastener system engaging the second fastener system to secure the therapy pack in relation to the therapy garment.
Anatomically neutral arm support apparatus
A medical apparatus for supporting the shoulder complex and humerus in a neutral position includes an upper body garment and a forearm sleeve adjustably fastened to the garment in an anterior and transverse orientation. The patient inserts her arm in the sleeve and fastens an elbow strap around the elbow to secure the forearm in a horizontal anterior position near waistline. The sleeve is adjustable in position to place the humerus inline with the spinal column, thereby preventing adduction and internal rotation of the glenohumeral joint. A weight distribution strap further elevates the sleeve and forearm. The strap is secured in a superior anterior region of the shoulder and spaced from the neck thereby preventing injury to the internal anatomies in the neck region. Optionally, thermal therapy to the shoulder is supported by a removable thermal therapy pouch.
Method and System for Treatment of User's Ear
A securing device is shown and describe for positioning on a user's head. The securing device may be used to couple or attach an insert to the user's head in a desired position.
Pocketed Neck Scarf
A pocketed neck scarf for easy wrapping and storing pocket warmers includes a scarf body having a bottom side and a top side. The scarf body comprises a base section and a pair of arms extending from the base section. One of the pair of arms is a looped arm and the other arm is a straight arm that is selectively engageable through the looped arm to secure the scarf body around a user's neck with the base section resting on her upper back. The base section has a plurality of pockets on the top side with each pocket configured to receive a pocket warmer.
Heat Therapy Leggings
Heat therapy leggings are described herein. The heat therapy leggings may include a double walled waistband. The double walled waistband may include an interior pocket to cover the front torso/midsection or lower back. The heat therapy leggings may be front to back reversible. A heat patch may be inserted into the interior pocket to provide relief from menstrual cramps.
Ventilated modular dual shelled helmet system
A modular helmet is described herein. The module helmet includes an inner shell adapted to be positioned onto a user's head and an outer shell coupled to the inner shell. The outer shell is spaced a distance radially outward from the inner shell to define a climatic zone between the inner shell and the outer shell. A cooling assembly is positioned within the climatic zone between the inner shell and the outer shell. The cooling assembly includes a plurality of cooling packets that are coupled to the outer shell.
Thermal therapy apparel
The present invention is a two-layer garment adapted to receive one or more body parts to provide a user with compression and thermal therapy. The two layers comprise of an inner base layer having a compression fit and an outer mesh layer. The layers are attached to one another such that an intermediate space exists between the two layers. The intermediate space is accessible through one or more openings to the intermediate space. The opening and intermediate space are adapted to receive a thermal transferring element. A thermal pouch having a plurality of projections on an outward facing surface may receive the thermal transferring element prior to insertion into the intermediate space or the projections may be located on the thermal transferring element itself. The outer mesh layer receives the projections securing the thermal transferring element at any location, resulting in unmatched customizable thermal and compression therapy.
