Temperature controlled and vibrating therapeutic garment
A temperature controllable wrap assembly that includes a wrap portion configured to be worn around a user's body part, and at least a first temperature control module positioned on the wrap portion. The first temperature control module includes a housing, a controllable temperature element, a spreader member and at least a first finger spreader pivotably attached to the spreader member. The lower surface of the spreader member is positioned to contact the user's body part. The controllable temperature element is configured to transfer thermal energy to an upper surface of the spreader member, and the spreader member is configured to conduct thermal energy to the first finger spreader.
SELF-HEATING FOLDING MASSAGE TABLE
The present disclosure is applicable to the technical field of massage apparatuses, and provides a self-heating folding massage table. The self-heating folding massage table includes a rigid planner surface, a sponge cushion, an electric heating mechanism, a circuit board, a transformer, a temperature sensing device, a controller, an upholstery cover, and leg supports. An operating voltage of the electric heating element is a safe operating voltage lower than 36 V, so that the safety of a user can be ensured, and the fault rate of a product is lower. The temperature sensing device is added in the electric heating mechanism to prevent fusing of the electric heating element or a fire caused by an extremely high local temperature.
ELECTRICALLY-HEATABLE PLASTER
The invention relates to electrically-heatable plasters which comprise a self-adhesive skin contact layer, an electrically-conductive textile fabric in which electrically-conductive fibres are in contact with one another, as a heating element, and optionally at least one active substance, as well as to a method for production and the use of same for local heat therapy and/or transdermal application of active substances.
ELECTRIC HEATING PAD
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.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYSIS OF TEMPERATURE SIGNALS FROM AN ABREU BRAIN THERMAL TUNNEL AND TREATMENT OF HUMAN CONDITIONS VIA THE ABREU BRAIN THERMAL TUNNEL
Systems configured to acquire temperature signals from an Abreu Brain Thermal Tunnel (ABTT), to analyze the temperatures signals, and to determine a condition of a human body from the analysis, and a method for doing the same, are described. In addition, systems for application of thermal signals to the ABTT for treatment of conditions are described.
HEALTHCARE DEVICE AND A METHOD OF USE THEREOF
A device and method for inducing sleep, improving blood circulation, and correcting autonomous imbalances. The device includes a heat exchange member mounted on top of housing, the heat exchange member can receive a neck of a user and apply alternate hot and cold stimuli to the neck. The hot and cold stimuli improve blood circulation and correct the autonomous imbalances. The device includes a drive module and a heat sink to quickly switch from hot to cold.
HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM FOR PATIENT SUPPORT SURFACE
A heat exchange system includes a thermoelectric device operably coupled with a support apparatus. The thermoelectric device is configured to reduce a temperature at a first location and increase a temperature at a second location different than the first location. A fan is disposed adjacent to the thermoelectric device. The fan is configured to direct heat generated by the thermoelectric device toward the second location. A controller is communicatively coupled with the thermoelectric device and the fan. The controller is configured to activate the thermoelectric device and the fan to reduce the temperature at the first location and concurrently increase the temperature at the second location. The first location is configured to align with a first area on a patient and the second location is configured to align with a second area on the patient.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING THE SKIN
According to some embodiments, a method of treating a skin surface of a subject comprises heating a skin surface, abrading native skin tissue of a subject using a microdermabrasion device, wherein using the microdermabrasion device comprises moving the microdermabrasion device relative to the skin surface while simultaneously delivering at least one treatment fluid to the skin surface being treated and cooling the abraded skin surface.
TECHNIQUES FOR MAGNETOCALORIC THERAPY
The disclosure relates to techniques for treating infiltrative tumors using magnetocaloric substances. After tumor removal, a vector carrying a magnetocaloric substance is introduced into a target area in a patient's body. After a period of time, the vectors migrate to cancerous cells and surround the tumor with the magnetocaloric substance. The patient is then exposed to a pulsing magnetic field that is controlled to heat the magnetocaloric substance to a target temperature. The temperature is maintained for a target duration that is sufficient to kill the cancerous cells.
TRANSCUTANEOUS TREATMENT SYSTEMS, COOLING DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR COOLING NERVES
Treatment systems, methods, and apparatuses for improving the appearance of skin and other treatments are described. Aspects of the technology are directed to improving the appearance of skin by transcutaneously cooling and affecting nerve tissue so as to inhibit facial muscular contractions and thereby reduce dynamic wrinkling. A non-invasive nerve cooling device can be applied to the subject's head to attenuate nervous system signals to facial muscles.
