A reinforcing clinical wrap is provided with integral thermal management. The clinical wrap includes a fluid circuit for a heat transfer medium to circulate between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A shape conforming medium is disposed within a portion of the clinical wrap providing selective reinforcement support of the portion of the clinical wrap to conform to a surface of a patient. Non-limiting examples of the shape conforming medium may include a magnetorheological elastomer, a magnetorheological elastomer, a magnetorheological foam, a UV curable resin, and a phase change material.

A hydronic heating pad includes a control unit and a blanket pad connected to the control unit. The blanket pad includes a warm water region. The control unit includes a water reservoir tank, a heating pipe, an outlet pipe, and at least one return pipe. The heating pipe, the outlet pipe, and at least one return pipe are disposed on the water reservoir tank. The outlet pipe and the at least one return pipe extend into the warm water region, whereby the outlet pipe, the at least one return pipe, and the warm water region form a circulating water channel. The outlet pipe is provided with a water pump. The at least one return pipe is provided with a temperature-sensitive solenoid valve. The blanket pad includes at least two layers of waterproof fabrics. The warm water region is a hermetic region and includes a plurality of first polygon patterns.

A support system includes two cushions. The first cushion is divided into a plurality of bladders filled with a fluid, the bladders being connected by fluid interconnections. The second cushion is coupled to the first cushion. The second cushion is also divided into a plurality of bladders filled with a fluid, the bladders connected by fluid interconnections. When a force is applied to one of the plurality of bladders, a reactionary force is produced in a different one of the plurality of bladders in the same respective cushion.

This invention provides a mat, comprising: an upper surface; a lower surface; a porous structure located between said upper surface and said lower surface, said porous structure including silica gel. The mat according to this invention can be used as, for example, a pillow, seat cushion, back cushion or mattress, or part of a chair seat or chair back.

A bedsheet having a stress relieving foam insert around a sewn edge. The foam insert is preferably constructed from closed-cell polyurethane foam rubber and may include a fluid bladder when the foam insert is formed for segments. The fluid bladder for use in enlarging the foam inserts, and may include reed apertures positioned between segments wherein audible sounds are created when fluid is transferred between segments. The squeezing of the foam inserts providing stress relief to an individual and promoting restful sleep. The foam inserts attached to bedsheet to prevent misplacement.

A customizable sleep system includes a mattress, a mattress topper, and/or a pillow for accommodating the needed or desired body support and cooling of users. The system may include a mattress comprising one or more upper support members, each upper support member including multiple foam layers having at least one of different thermal conductivity characteristics and different glass transition temperature (Tg) characteristics and one or more lower support members, each lower support member including multiple foam layers having different support characteristics. The system may include one or more pillows each including multiple distinct foam layers differing in at least one of a support characteristic, a thermal conductivity characteristic, and a Tg characteristic. The system may include a mattress topper with one or more support members which each include multiple foam layers differing in at least one of a support characteristic, a thermal conductivity characteristic, and a Tg characteristic.

The devices and methods of stimulating the immune system to treat damaged and abnormal tissue using compressed static magnetic fields provides for noninvasive treatment of damages tissue and removal of abnormal tissue. At least two magnets are positioned to have their static magnetic fields compressed at the damaged or abnormal tissue and at the immediately surrounding healthy tissue. The compressed static magnetic fields stimulate the immune system in the immediately surrounding healthy tissue which treats the damaged or abnormal tissue. The treated tissue fully regenerates without additional medical intervention. The devices provide for efficient exposure to compressed magnetic fields and ease of use at different locations on a body and different types of animal species.

A reinforcing clinical wrap is provided with integral thermal management. The clinical wrap includes a fluid circuit for a heat transfer medium to circulate between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A shape conforming medium is disposed within a portion of the clinical wrap providing selective reinforcement support of the portion of the clinical wrap to conform to a surface of a patient. Non-limiting examples of the shape conforming medium may include a magnetorheological elastomer, a magnetorheological elastomer, a magnetorheological foam, a UV curable resin, and a phase change material.

A pillow includes a first pillow cushion consisting essentially of a gelatinous elastomer that is sized and configured to support a head and neck of a person using the pillow cushion and a second pillow cushion coupled thereto. The pillow cushion has deformable wall members located and configured to define voids therebetween such that the deformable wall members may be displaced into adjacent voids upon deformation of the deformable wall members. The deformable wall members are configured to buckle when a pressure applied to a cushioning surface of the first pillow cushion, in a direction perpendicular to a first major surface, exceeds a threshold pressure level. A pillow cover covers the first pillow cushion and the second pillow cushion. A method of fabricating a pillow includes enclosing such first and second pillow cushions in a pillow cover.
