The apparatus includes a moxibustion container assembly for localized application of therapeutic herbal smoke originated from gas-producing combustible material, an air pump connectable to the moxibustion container assembly via an inlet tube to supply air to the moxibustion container assembly, a vacuum pump connectable to the moxibustion container assembly via an outlet tube to create a partial vacuum to draw air from the moxibustion container assembly and exhaust air thereafter, and an air purifier connected to the vacuum pump to remove the contaminants in the air exhausted from the vacuum pump.

A warming blanket for warming a patient includes a first sheet including a first major surface of the warming blanket, and a second sheet including a second major surface of the warming blanket. The second sheet is sealingly joined to the first sheet to form one or more inflatable portions between the first and second sheets. An adhesive layer is disposed on the first major surface of the first sheet. A liner assembly is disposed on the adhesive layer opposite to the first major surface and fully covers the adhesive layer. The liner assembly includes a plurality of release liners delimited from each other and releasably bonded to the adhesive layer, such that each release liner is independently removable from the liner assembly to expose a corresponding portion of the adhesive layer. Each of the first sheet, the adhesive layer, and the plurality of release liners is air-permeable.

Disclosed is a system and method for producing and storing hot air, and for applying the stored hot air to a human body. The hot air producing system may include a heating apparatus configured to heat air to a temperature, a temperature setting gauge, a pressure gauge, a pump to pump the hot air, a fill connection, a container for receiving hot air from the heating apparatus and storing the hot air therein, the container including at least one valve to connect to the fill connection of the heating apparatus such that the container can receive the hot air from the heating apparatus, an adjustable flow release mechanism connected to an outlet of the container for receiving the hot air, and a flexible hose connected to the adjustable flow release mechanism. Embodiments of the invention can include a computer system capable of governing all the components.

A single-use infection control system for a forced air warming machine having hosing connected to the machine including: a closable container having a chamber to receive the machine, the container constructed from air permeable material that prevents infectious airborne particles from entering the chamber; a sleeve having a first end and a second end, the first end engaged to an aperture on the container and the sleeve surrounding the hosing; and a filter cap constructed from the air permeable material, disposed at the second end and covering an opening of the hosing.

A neck fan includes an arc-shaped shell configured to hang around user's neck and at least four fan assemblies arranged in the shell. The shell includes a first part and a second part. Each of the first part and the second part defines an accommodating space, air inlets and air outlets communicated with the accommodating space, at least one partition is arranged in the accommodating space and configured to divide the accommodating space into at least two accommodating parts arranged along an extension direction of the shell. Each of the fan assemblies is arranged in one of the at least two accommodating parts and is configured to direct air into the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air inlets and to direct air out of the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air outlets.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a warming device that includes a clinical garment and a first pneumatic convective device. The clinical garment includes an inner surface for facing the patient and having an inner surface area. The clinical garment has a hemline and forms a longitudinal axis. The first pneumatic convective device can have an air-permeable layer having a pneumatic surface area, the pneumatic surface area is at least 25% of the inner surface area in a deployed state. The warming device can include a first inlet for admitting a stream of pressurized, warmed air into the first pneumatic convective device. The second end of the first pneumatic convective device extends past the hemline when in the deployed state, and, when the first pneumatic convective device is in a folded state, the second end extends no greater than 3 inches past the hemline.

Disclosed are: a system comprising a gas circulation device capable of circulating hyperthermic gas in the peritoneal cavity and a temperature control device; and a system comprising a drug spray device for effectively spraying a drug in the peritoneal cavity together with gas. The systems of the present invention are used as systems for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and can maximize the anticancer therapy effect by more effectively delivering a small amount of an anticancer drug to cancer cells while maintaining the temperature of gas in the peritoneal cavity at a predetermined temperature.

A thermal device includes an inflatable non-perforated blanket, a conduit structure, and a recirculating assembly. The inflatable non-perforated blanket is configured to transport warm air internally. The conduit structure is configured to provide conduit to transport the warm air externally to the inflatable non-perforated blanket. The recirculating assembly is configured to inflate the inflatable non-perforated blanket with the warm air and: (1) to cause the warm air to flow from the first port to the second port in a first direction, and (2) to recirculate the warm air through the conduit structure to flow from the second port to the first port in the first direction. The inflatable non-perforated blanket includes first and second sheets. The first sheet faces ambient air and has a first thermal conductivity. The second sheet faces the subject body and has a second thermal conductivity higher than the first thermal conductivity.

A neck fan includes an arc-shaped shell configured to hang around user's neck and at least four fan assemblies arranged in the shell. The shell includes a first part and a second part. Each of the first part and the second part defines an accommodating space, air inlets and air outlets communicated with the accommodating space, at least one partition is arranged in the accommodating space and configured to divide the accommodating space into at least two accommodating parts arranged along an extension direction of the shell. Each of the fan assemblies is arranged in one of the at least two accommodating parts and is configured to direct air into the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air inlets and to direct air out of the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air outlets.
