Provided herein are systems, devices and methods for the treatment of fungus. In particular, provided herein are systems, devices and methods employing energy to nail and tissue structures to treat fungal infection.

A therapeutic cooling and/or compression system, configured to cool a body portion, comprises a conformal covering for covering the body portion configured to extract heat energy from the body portion, a sensor device within the conformal covering for sensing a parameter of the body portion, an actuator configured for changing an amount of heat energy extracted from the body portion, and a control unit configured for regulating the actuator responsive to control input from the sensor device. The system may be portable, enabling a patient to walk while undergoing treatment.

Described herein are cold therapy devices and methods for making same and, more particularly, to a garment comprising cold therapy components that may be placed adjacent a wearer's body at various locations while remaining fixed in place during activities, such as walking or movement, without requiring the wearer to hold the cold components in place or remain sedentary.

The invention disclosed herein generally relates to a methods and devices for personal care. The invention includes methods and devices for ameliorating microbial infections and for capture and disposal of menstrual fluid.

A cold pack that can be fidgeted in a human hand. The cold pack encases a heat-transferring substance and provides a rigid portion suitable for being securely held by and readily fidgeted with fingers of said human hand. Heat-conducting grooves and heat-insulating surfaces are built into the rigid portion, with acute edges, jutting bumps, guard rails and other textures to provide grip. Fingertips alternate between holding the cold pack by said grooves and surfaces, thereby applying dynamic cold therapy to the same fingertips, rest of fingers, the hand, and other body parts requiring treatment for swelling, inflammation and trauma arising from friction, compression or minor burn injuries. Timely application of dynamic cold therapy can thus prevent formation of blisters in fingers and hands commonly seen in string players, musicians, sportspeople and workers caused by repetitive contacts with objects, and by unexpected contacts with hot surfaces.

A fillable palm cooling device is described. The fillable palm cooling device is configured to be filled with a cool substance, and includes at least a first endcap configured to be removed to enable the fillable tube to be filled with the cool substance. The fillable tube is configured to be held in palms of both hands of a person to cool the palms of both hands of the person when the fillable tube is filled with the cool substance.

A fingertip warming device that can be used on either hand, will aid in warming of fingertips to help increase blood flow to the fingertips of the user for the purpose of easing the process of drawing blood, which will be used to check the user's glucose levels. The device will have warming elements either embedded in the distal end of fingertip slots/compartments or allow for the use of a heatable insert that will also reside in the distal end of the device for the purpose of warming the user's fingertips. The device will provide either flaps or a hole through which the user's fingertips can be exposed to allow for collection of a blood sample for testing glucose levels.

A finger brace may provide flexion and/or lateral support for an injured finger. The finger brace may restrict motion of an injured finger and simultaneously provide a cold compress to an injured finger. The cold compress may be selectively attachable to the finger brace and provide localized treatment to the injured finger. A strap may secure the device onto one or more fingers of a user. The finger brace provides multi-modal treatment to an injured finger.

Provided is a heating body that enables high-speed production using a conventional rotary heat-sealing roll, has a wearing portion with sufficient strength to use by inserting a hand or the like, thereby being used safely and conveniently, and can be worn on the body or the like without being adhered thereto, and a method for producing the same. An example of one aspect of the present invention is a heating body in which a heat-generating composition that generates heat in the presence of air is accommodated in a bag body formed by heat sealing a one-surface side laminated base material comprising a first base material and a second base material, and a covering material, at a peripheral edge portion thereof, characterized in that: the first base material has one surface being a nonwoven fabric layer and the other surface being a heat sealable resin layer; the second base material is a sheet in which an olefin-based nonwoven fabric layer and a resin film are laminated using an olefin-based resin; the first base material and the second base material are capable of forming a space into which a body part can be inserted or held, in a part surrounded by the peripheral edge portion; and in a heat sealed part of the bag body peripheral edge portion, the heat sealable resin layer of the first base material and the nonwoven fabric layer of the second base material are bonded together, and the resin film of the second base material and the covering material are bonded together; as well as a method for producing the same.
