Cooling assembly

A cooling headgear is disclosed. Absorbent material within the headgear retains cold water. When worn by a user, the headgear holds the cold water to the head of the user, cooling the user.

Indicators for Confirming Fluid Connections in Systems, Pads, and Methods for Targeted Temperature Management

Disclosed are indicators for confirming fluid connections in systems, pads, and methods thereof for targeted temperature management. For example, a pad can include a multilayered pad body, a pad inlet connector, a pad outlet connector, and an indicator for visual indication of charging a conduit layer of the pad body with a supply fluid and confirmation of accurate fluid connections. The conduit layer includes one or more conduits for conveying a temperature-controlled fluid as the supply fluid from a hydraulic system of a control module as well as convey a return fluid back to the hydraulic system. A thermally conductive adhesive layer over the conduit layer is for placement on a portion of a patient's body. The pad inlet connector includes a pad inlet for charging the conduit layer with the supply fluid. The pad outlet connector includes a pad outlet for discharging the return fluid from the conduit layer.

Mobile cold therapy device
11285037 · 2022-03-29 · ·

A mobile, self-contained cold therapy device having a container including an internal liquid or ice water tank, air and water pumps for driving air and water to a cold therapy pad with internal air and water bladders, wherein the pad is worn on an injured region of a user. The device includes an electronic controller for controlling air and water flow to and from the bladders, and a holder for supporting the container and worn on the user's body for portable, hands-free mobility while receiving cold therapy. Nipples are incorporated into a thermal conduction surface of the pad and reciprocated into the user's injured region by an air bladder to further reduce edema.

Simultaneous thermal and cooling therapeutic device
11154419 · 2021-10-26 ·

A therapeutic device combines both hot and cold therapy to work simultaneously together. The therapeutic device has a first portion being made of a material capable of being heated to a first temperature and a second portion having a fastener capable of connecting to a cold pack having a second temperature. The application of both hot and cold to the site of an injury of a user stimulates blood circulation to an injured muscle with heat and reduces inflammation with cold to facilitate a faster and more efficient recovery process of the afflicted area.

HOT/COLD TEMPERATURE TREATMENT APPARATUS
20210322208 · 2021-10-21 ·

Packs for providing heat or cold to a body part or parts. In some embodiments, packs comprising an outer flexible shell or skin housing or carrying a plurality of beads mixed in combination with a liquid or gel. In some embodiments, packs, which can be (or are) configured into various shapes, which contain beads in combination with a liquid or gel solution, which can be heated or cooled for application, thereafter, to a body part for providing hot or cold therapy to the body part.

Endothermic towel
11150005 · 2021-10-19 ·

Provided is an endothermic towel which can react with moisture of a human body to cause an endothermic reaction, thereby removing thermal sensation and at the same time, rapidly drying moisture to give cool sensation to a user. The endothermic towel includes a towel body having an endothermic function; and a plurality of through-holes provided to the towel body in order to accelerate the endothermic function, so that the endothermic function may be optimized.

Cooling Sheet
20210315733 · 2021-10-14 ·

A cooling sheet is provided. The cooling sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a moisture storage layer which stores therein moisture, an absorbing layer which is fused to one surface of the moisture storage layer to absorb the moisture and is applied with microcapsules containing a functional material, and a water repellent layer which is fused to the other surface of the moisture storage layer to be in contact with skin, prevents the moisture from escaping and absorbs air from outside. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a cooling sensation using heat of evaporation when in contact with skin while preventing moisture from escaping to the outside along seam lines.

MODULAR TEMPERATURE CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for managing the temperature of an item that includes a first flap portion and a second flap portion defining between them a first pouch containing substance; a third flap portion and the second flap portion defining between them a second pouch containing substance; a first portion of a fastener attached to the front side of the first flap portion; a first complementary portion of the fastener attached to the obverse side of the second flap portion; a second complementary portion of the fastener attached to the obverse side of the third flap portion.
