A method for reshaping a nasal airway in a patient involves advancing an inflatable balloon of a reshaping device in an uninflated configuration into a nostril of the patient and between a nasal septum and a lateral wall of the nasal airway. The method then involves inflating the inflatable balloon to an inflated configuration to cause the inflatable balloon to contact nasal mucosa covering the nasal septum and the lateral wall, delivering energy from an energy delivery member attached to or inside of the inflatable balloon, and removing the reshaping device from the nasal airway.

A portable heating apparatus includes a top layer and a bottom layer connected to the top layer to form a cavity. An electric heating element is disposed within the cavity, and a temperature-retaining component, such as a gel layer, is affixed within the cavity adjacent to the electric heating element and adjacent to the top layer. A power cord is in electrical communication with the electric heating element and connectable to a power source to provide power to the electric heating element, the power cord detachable from the portable heating apparatus. The temperature-retaining component is capable of retaining heat generated by the electric heating element and creating a generally uniform distribution of heat across the top layer.

Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to cooling a head of a patient. These systems and methods may comprise a cooling cap assembly comprising a heat exchanger configured to be wrapped around a head of a patient and a compression assembly releasably coupled to the heat exchanger. The compression assembly may comprise an enclosure and an inflatable member coupled to an internal surface of the enclosure. When coupled, the inflatable member may be positioned between the enclosure and the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may be separate from and moveable relative to the inflatable member.

A method of cooling a mammal with an implantable blood pump. The method includes measuring a temperature of an internal controller, the internal controller being in communication with the implantable blood pump. an alert is generated if the temperature of the internal controller exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold.

A freezable pet harness is an apparatus that cools down the pet's body while also comforting the pet during hot days. The apparatus may include a back-bracing pad, a neck-bracing strap, a girth-bracing band, and at least one primary gel pack. The back-bracing pad corresponds to the portion of the apparatus covering the pet's back. The neck-bracing strap secures the apparatus to the pet's neck to prevent the apparatus from getting loose. The girth-bracing band keeps the back-bracing pad positioned against the pet's back while also securing the apparatus to the pet's body. The at least one primary gel pack enables the apparatus to remain cool enough to maintain the pet's body cool when the apparatus is being worn by the pet. The at least one primary gel pack also weights down the back-bracing pad against the pet's body so that the apparatus can also serve as a gel-weighted blanket.

A temperature treatment apparatus includes a body made from a flexible and expandable material for attachment to a predetermined region of the human body requiring treatment with the body having a space formed therein, and a temperature radiating element shaped to be received within the space of the body and being configured to have a soft and malleable shape profile to apply temperature treatment to the predetermined region of the human body. The temperature radiating element includes an inner pouch containing a first phase change material that is able to be inserted within an outer pouch having a second phase change material, so that, upon insertion, the inner pouch is substantially encapsulated within the second phase change material of the outer pouch.
