Trauma heater system
A trauma heater system uses the exothermic properties of the reaction between the gas (Co2) and chemical crystals (Group IA and IIA hydroxides and metal hydroxides) to provide heat. Heat generated by the trauma heater system reverses temperature loss in a person's body subjected to lower outside temperature, as in hypothermia, thereby restoring lost body heat and/or maintaining a person's body temperature to prevent hypothermia.
Appendage Cooling and Heating System and Method of Use
An appendage cooling and heating system has a body with an outer layer, an inner layer, and an interstitial space for containing a thermo-regulator material. The inner layer and the outer layer are nested to form a joint. An appendage opening is formed in the appendage cooling and heating system to receive an appendage of the user. The joint forms an interlocking seal between the outer layer and the inner layer to contain the thermo-regulator material within the interstitial space.

Fungal Infection Treatment
A fungal infection treatment includes a container comprised of a thermally conductive material. In this way the container can be heated by the boiled water when the boiled water is poured from the cup into the container. A cover is positionable on the container to close the container to inhibit the boiled water from being spilled from the container. A drape is provided that has an opening extending therethrough. In this way the drape can be positioned on a respective one of the user's appendages having the opening exposing a nail on the respective appendage. The container is positionable in the opening when the drape is positioned on the appendage. In this way the container can transfer heat from the boiled water to the nail on the respective appendage for treating a fungal infection of the nail bed.
Gel Pad Assembly Using Free Rotatable Fluid Joints
A medical pad for exchanging thermal energy between a targeted temperature management (TTM) fluid and a patient is disclosed. The pad can include a fluid containing layer and a fluid conduit attached therewith via rotatable joint where the joint is configured to facilitate rotation of the fluid conduit with respect to the pad. A method of manufacturing the pad can include coupling a first member of the rotatable joint to a fluid delivery line, coupling the second member to the fluid containing layer, and inserting the first member within an opening of the second member to facilitate a snap-fit retention mechanism between first member and the second member. A method of using the pad can include rotating the fluid delivery line relative to the thermal pad via the rotatable joint when initially applying the pad to the patient or when adjusting an orientation of the pad on the patient.

USER INTERFACE AND DATA MANAGEMENT FOR TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A temperature management system is configured to control a temperature of a patient's body using a heat exchange device. The temperature management system is configured to deliver temperature management treatment or therapy to a patient. A user interface of the system is configured to display operational data and patient data on the user interface in a configuration that allows a user to determine or review one or more periods of the performed temperature management treatment.

Facilitated Kinking Fold Pads
Disclosed herein is a system, apparatus and method directed to reducing patient contact area of a medical pad for exchanging thermal energy between a targeted temperature management (TTM) fluid and a patient. The system, apparatus and method pertain to a medical pad that includes a fluid containing layer for containing the TTM fluid and a patient contact surface. The fluid containing layer is configured for circulating the TTM fluid within the fluid containing layer. The patient contact surface defines a patient contact area to facilitate thermal energy exchange with the patient. The pad can be segmented into a main pad section and one or more foldable sections configured to be folded by a user, thereby reducing the patient contact area. The circulation of the TTM fluid within the fluid containing layer may be constricted by a fold of the one or more foldable sections while folded.
