This disclosure relates generally to a system and method for the delivery of cooled air selectably using a device with removable component which directs cooled air to a desired area at or near the hair of a subject. The device may have one or more components which may be quickly and easily removed and replaced.

Afforded is a medical head-cooling cap set that heightens scalp-cooling efficiency and that fitted on to a user's head produces no pressuring feeling nor slips out of place. The cap set is constituted from a head-cooling cap, an inner cap, and an outer cap. Two first belts that are drawn out from either side of the outer-cap opening part and stretch to the exterior are linkable by a first fastener, and after the head has been passed into the opening and the outer cap has been donned, the belts can be fastened neck-area-forward by the fastener; meanwhile, two second belts that extend from alongside the rear part mid-brim and head front brim-ward are linkable by a second clasp, and after the head has been passed into the opening and the outer cap has been donned, the second belts can be fastened around the forehead by the clasp.

Provided is a coronavirus-killing and scalp care device using a carbon heating mat. Carbon heating mats are applied to a coronavirus-killing face cover and a scalp cover which are coupled to or separated from each other as necessary, and a filter part for accommodating a scent material is formed around a nose and mouth portion of the coronavirus-killing face cover. Therefore, a temperature of the scalp is raised to boost immunity, prevent hair loss, and the like, heat is introduced into the human body during breathing through the nose and mouth to kill various disease-causing pathogens (particularly, coronaviruses) in the human body, and a scent material filling the filter part is fumigated by heat generated by the carbon heating mats and introduced into the human body through breathing to prevent and cure diseases.

A medical device and method used for patient temperature management, wherein the device is designed to cool the surface of the patient's head and blood flow to the head and neck of a patient after trauma in order to prevent inflammation and reduce swelling in the brain, is portable with a rapid cooling capability feature, does not require an ICU setting, eliminates certain complications that could affect the patient otherwise, and can be easily placed on the patient with little training or expertise.

A medical cooling device for reducing the body core temperature of a patient and a method for operating the same are provided. The cooling process provided by the medical cooling device is based on the state or degree of shivering of the patient.

A headpiece includes a shell, a thermoelectric cooler, a heat sink and a fan. The shell defines a concavity. The thermoelectric cooler includes a cooling surface and a warming surface. The heat sink is in thermal communication with the warming surface. The fan is in fluid communication with the heat sink.

A heat exchange module having a heat transfer fluid channel and a heat transfer plate in heat transfer relation with fluid in the channel. The reference side of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is in thermal contact with the plate. A heat transfer tile is in thermal contact with a user side of the TEC. The module is configured to be operatively positionable with the tile in heat transfer relation with skin of a patient.

Disclosed herein is a method to enable a user to use a hypothermia system to cool a body part involved in cancer therapy or in brain trauma. The method enables the user to operate the hypothermia system by her- or himself and still be mobile. The hypothermia system comprises a conformal cap system, a thermally conductive liquid located between the body part to be cooled and the cap system, thermal transfer fluids, phase change materials, thermally insulated cooler, physical measuring devices, mechanical and electrical components, a ‘smart’ user interface device, a battery, and an uninterruptible power controller. The method allows a user to control the rate of and temperature of cooling down the body part, exhibits parameters associated with the process of cooling the body part, provides alerts if necessary, is portable and entirely self-managed. The hypothermia device is in communication with and can be controlled by an application installed on a smart device, such as a phone. The method of using the hypothermia system can help to eliminate hair loss caused by the side effects of certain chemotherapy treatments or to reduce the metabolic rate of ischemic tissue to prevent or minimize the severity of swelling.

The present invention relates generally to a device and a method that maintains a patient's body temperature during surgical exposure and, more specifically, to a surgical, insulative cap that forms a viewing window and is used in conjunction with a medical temperature trend indicator. The cap is contoured to the patient's head. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Methods and therapeutic devices with noninvasive means for improving brain function and treating senile dementia including Alzheimer’s disease are described. The noninvasive means is selected from electrical stimulation, heat stimulation, IR (infrared) radiation or their combinations. In some embodiments, the method and device utilize electrical current passed through acupuncture sites on the human head to achieve desired therapeutical effects.
