A cold/hot compress strip device with a quick replaceable compress strip and an efficient cold/hot switch includes a host machine and a flexible compress strip fixable to an affected part on a human body surface, and the host machine can pump the cooled cold water from its container into the compress strip and circulate the cold water in the compress strip for cold compress, or can quickly discharge the cold water in the compress strip, and drive a heating film on the compress strip to generate heat for hot compress, so as to achieve an efficient cold/hot switch, and the compress strip can be replaced quickly as needed. The application of the cold/hot compress strip device is very simple and practical.

A cold/hot compress device with efficient cold/hot switch and quick compress strip replacement includes a host machine and a flexible compress strip, and the host machine can pump the cooled water into the compress strip for a cold compress of an affected part on a human body surface and also can quickly discharge the cold water contained in the compress strip and drive a heating film to generate heat for a hot compress without the need of heating the cold water for an efficient cold/hot switch. The flexible compress strip can be replaced quickly as needed, and its application is very simple and practical.

Provided is a heat generator for knees capable of effectively warming a knee joint. A heat generator for knees 1 includes a heat-generating material and a pouch that is formed from a pair of sheets and that accommodates the heat-generating material inside. The pouch includes a peripheral joint portion that is formed from the pair of sheets that are joined, and that has a heat generation area inside, and a partition portion that divides the heat generation area into sections in the left-and-right direction by the pair of sheets joined in the up-and-down direction on the inner side of the peripheral joint portion.

A system and method for providing a universal wrap that can apply a thermal pack to many different regions of a patient's body. The universal wrap is provided in a standardized form. The medical provider is provided with options to modify the standardized form in order to adapt the wrap to many different applications.

An equine thermal therapy overleg device that encircles a pastern of a subject horse and provides thermal therapy to the subject horse. The may include a pastern dual layer component, a distal phalanx cover and a distal phalanx slipper. The arrangement of the pastern dual layer component, a distal phalanx cover and a distal phalanx slipper allow for free movement of the subject horse and for a thermal fluid to contain ice and prevent the ice from becoming lodged around the subject horse hoof.

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.

Presented is a belly wrap wearable by a postpartum woman The belly wrap includes a wrap body having a first side, and a second side. The wrap body includes a back support section with a pocket disposed thereof, a first side section, and a second side section attached on either side of the back support section, and an abdomen support section attached to one side of the second side section. The abdomen support section includes a pocket configured on the first side of the wrap body, and a first matting means configured on the second side of the wrap body. The first side section further includes finger-like projections extending therefrom. The finger-like projections include a head incorporating a second mating means. The second mating means removably engages with the first mating means to ensure the belly wrap is wrapped around the abdomen and back of the woman.

A cooling bracelet that is adapted to be worn by a user for the purpose of cooling the wrist area of the user so as to lower the users body temperature after a period of exercise. The cooling bracelet is adapted for use in combination with a cooling pack that is mounted in the cooling bracelet. The cooling bracelet includes a middle pad and separate elongated bracelet straps that extend from the middle pad. Respective securing members are disposed at free ends of each elongated bracelet strap. The respective securing members are for fastening the cooling bracelet about the wrist area of the user. The middle pad of the cooling bracelet has a recess for receiving the cooling pack therein, said recess positioned, when the cooling bracelet is fastened about the wrist area of the user, to face the wrist area of the user in order to provide a cooling effect from the cooling pack and against the wrist area of the user.

Polymers, hydrogels, and thermochromic agents, including products embodying them, methods of using them, and processes for making them. In certain embodiments, temperature therapy packs which utilize thermochromic agents integrated into solid, semi-solid, or liquid hydrogels. In preferred (but optional) embodiments, the thermochromic agents are integrated into the composition used as the temperature exchange material of the therapy pack. In certain other embodiments, methods of using the thermochromic integrated temperature exchange materials, or processes for manufacturing such thermochromic integrated temperature exchange materials and/or methods or processes for manufacturing or using thermal packs embodying such materials. In certain particularly preferred embodiments, novel polymer compositions and/or processes for making polymers, which improve product durability or longevity and/or which improve use cycles or usage times.

A shoulder brace includes a base layer having a first side and a second side, a side support coupled to the first side, and a sling attached to the side support and having a sling strap. A counterforce strap has a first end coupled to the second side of the base layer, and a second end attached to a portion of the sling strap. So configured, the counterforce strap applies a force to the sling strap in a direction toward the second side of the base layer to relieve pressure on a user's neck during use. In addition, a cold therapy device assembly is coupled to the shoulder brace and includes a cold therapy device having first and second portions and at least one connecting member attached to one of the first and second portions and configured to be attached to a portion of the shoulder brace.
