A warming device including a heat generating element and an enclosing material that houses the heat generating element is described. A portion of the enclosing material that comes into contact with a target to be warmed when the warming device is in use is made of an air permeable fibrous sheet that contains crimped fibers and non-crimped fibers. The ratio of the non-crimped fibers relative to the total of the crimped fibers and the non-crimped fibers in the fibrous sheet is 50 mass % or more. The fibrous sheet included in the heat generating element is configured to increase the thickness thereof by 0.2 mm or more and 0.7 mm or less during a period from the start to the end of heat generation.

AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING HEALTH CONDITIONS BASED ON VISUAL FIELDS

Configurations are disclosed for a health system to be used in various healthcare applications, e.g., for patient diagnostics, monitoring, and/or therapy. The health system may comprise a light generation module to transmit light or an image to a user, one or more sensors to detect a physiological parameter of the user's body, including their eyes, and processing circuitry to analyze an input received in response to the presented images to determine one or more health conditions or defects.

Continuous Thermal Therapy
20230021958 · 2023-01-26 · ·

A non-invasive thermal therapy for the eye dynamically maintains a treatment temperature at the working tip of the instrument. Methods described herein pre-heat the instruments serving to reduce instrument setup time, increase battery life, reduce the weight of the handheld device, and reduce total procedure time. Related apparatuses are also described.

20230226372 · 2023-07-20 ·

Near-infrared/Mid-infrared lasers are used to de-claudicate glaucomatous tissue, translocate extra-ocular muscles, thermally pulsate palpebrae, and penileate/vasodilate superficial/epi-scleral membranes for dmg delivery. Diffractive optic element-mediated laser patterns may irradiate eye tissues under pulsed or continuous wave regimes with programmable durations and sequences for efficient treatments while minimizing adverse effects.

WEIGHTED SLEEP MASK

A sleep mask is created comprising a sleep mask cover that can accommodate a weighted mask component and a thermal mask component. The sleep mask cover may include a fastening mechanism at the opening which may be removably engaged or disengaged to disable or enable, respectively, access to the opening for insertion of the weighted mask component and the thermal mask component. The weighted mask component may include a set of eye panels that are devoid of weight material to prevent unwanted pressure on a human user's eyes when the sleep mask is worn around the head of a human user. Further, the weighted mask component may include a pocket for insertion of the thermal mask component.

DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CLOGGED GLANDS OF THE EYE
20230013787 · 2023-01-19 · ·

A system for treating clogged glands of the eye includes a heated eye mask and an electrical cord. The heated eye mask includes an outer layer of surface material, an inner layer of surface material, and a carbon fiber heating element. The carbon fiber heating element is disposed between the outer and inner layers of surface material in a therapeutic region of the heated eye mask. The therapeutic region of the heated eye mask extends along the Meibomian glands of the eye. The carbon fiber heating element is encapsulated by an electrically insulating cover. A thermally conductive material evenly distributes heat across the therapeutic region of the heated eye mask. The electrical cord provides power to the heated eye mask.

11696850 · 2023-07-11 · ·

An eye compress assembly includes two thermally adjustable heating and cooling device and a bridge connecting the two devices is provided. The thermally adjustable device is configured to apply thermal treatment against the eye region. Within the thermally adjustable heating and cooling device the thermoelectric element is powered by a battery. A power input port is provided in the bridge to connect into a power supply in order to recharge the battery.

TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING CELLULITE AND FOR PROVIDING OTHER TREATMENTS

Treatment systems, methods, and apparatuses for improving the appearance of skin or other target regions are described. Aspects of the technology are directed to improving the appearance of skin by tightening the skin, improving skin tone or texture, eliminating or reducing wrinkles, increasing skin smoothness, or improving the appearance sites with cellulite. Treatments can include cooling a surface of a patient's skin and detecting freezing in the cooled skin. The tissue can be cooled after the freeze event is detected so to maintain the frozen state of the tissue to improve the appearance of the treatment site.
