An electric heating pad for warming a patient. The electric heating pad may be a heated underbody support, heated mattress or heated mattress overlay. An embodiment of the heating pad includes a flexible sheet-like heating element including an upper edge, a lower edge, and at least two side edges. The heating pad may also include a shell covering the heating element and comprising at least two sheets of flexible material (e.g., two sheets may be one sheet folded over to form at least two sheets). The two sheets of flexible material may be coupled together about the edges of the heating element by a weld. The material of the two sheets may include urethane. In some embodiments, a catalyst to accelerate hydrogen peroxide decomposition is coated on or impregnated into an element within the shell, or on the interior surface of the shell.

The invention relates to a thermal skin treatment device comprising a skin contact component with a skin contact surface; a thermal energy component in thermal contact with the skin contact component; a temperature control circuit electrically connected to the thermal energy component and comprising a user interface; and an energy source electrically connected to said thermal energy component for energy supply. Said temperature control circuit is adapted to control an amount of energy supplied from said energy source to said thermal energy component such that a first predetermined temperature is maintained at the skin contact surface for a first duration, or a second predetermined temperature is maintained at the skin contact surface for a second duration, wherein said first predetermined temperature is in a range of 40° C.+/−2° C., and wherein said second predetermined temperature is in a range of 19° C.+/−2° C. The temperature control circuit is adapted to maintain for a predetermined duration, during operation, only said first predetermined temperature or said second predetermined temperature at the skin contact surface. The invention further relates to a method for non-therapeutic treatment of a human eye region by means of a thermal skin treatment device according to the invention.

The invention relates to a device for cooling an organ locally, that includes an elongate stem including a far end intended to make contact with an organ to be cooled and comprising including a cooling element having a cold finger, a crystal that has a capacity to cool via excitation at a set excitation wavelength, said crystal being positioned adjacent to said cooling element, an optical guide that is able to convey a light signal at said excitation wavelength and that opens onto said crystal, and an illuminating system including at least one light source, which light source is arranged to emit said light signal.

The present invention relates to an electrically heated wearable belt and method for applying heat to a part of a user’s body for reducing fat and weight by facilitating generation of sweat. The belt is flexible, foldable, and insulating and includes a heating element in the form of flexible metal strips that receive electrical power from a rechargeable battery. The battery is positioned inside a pocket of the belt and is coupled to the heating element through a connector. The heating element may provide a uniform heating or differential heating to the skin of the user where the belt is worn. The belt has a fastening mechanism for securing the belt and can be applied to the abdomen, hips, thighs, and more of the user.

The invention provides an eye mask with an integrally formed heating structure and a manufacturing process thereof, belonging to the field of nursing appliances. It includes an eye mask main body manufactured by an integral molding process, a detachable power supply controller, and a plug-in power supply mechanism. Wherein, the main body of the eye mask is sewn from non-woven fabric, sponge, and carbon fiber heating body. The present invention can quickly sew an eye mask with an integrated structure by using the cut non-woven fabric, sponge, and carbon fiber heating body so that the processing method of the eye mask is simpler and the manufacturing cost is reduced, and the eye mask using the carbon fiber heating body can realize constant temperature heating.

The present invention relates to an orthopedic brace including therein a thermal treatment system useful for treating joint injuries and musculoskeletal disorders, such as osteoarthritis.

A cold and/or hot compress system, comprising a water bag (101), an air bag (102), a water circulation assembly (2) in fluid communication with the water bag (101) and a pneumatic assembly (3) in fluid communication with the air bag (102). In the cold and/or hot compress system, the water circulation assembly (2) is independent from the pneumatic assembly (3). Therefore, during the delivery of a cooling or heating therapy, the independent pneumatic assembly (3) can be driven by an air pressure waveform defined by parameters pre-stored in a control panel (402) to cause the water bag (102) to apply cold/hot compress to a region of interest of a patient's body. Independent water and air circulation paths in the system avoid interference between water and air flows therein, allowing the system to applied more stable compress with minimized pressure errors. Moreover, a more constant water flow rate and a more uniform temperature distribution across the surface of the water bag are achievable.

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.

Provided herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for an Electronic skin rejuvenating device.
