A GARMENT WITH A CONFIGURABLE CONVECTIVE DEVICE
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a combination, comprising: a garment, a configurable convective device, and an attachment device configured to attach the configurable convective device to the garment. The configurable convective device comprises a pneumatic structure having a first portion, a second portion, and an inflatable channel connecting the first portion and the second portion and at least one opening into the pneumatic structure. In some cases, the relative positions of the first portion and the second portion of the pneumatic structure can be rearranged.
THERAPEUTIC BRASSIERE GARMENT
The present invention relates to a therapeutic brassiere garment for healing or easing breast pain related to breastfeeding, surgery, menstruation, childbirth and more. The therapeutic brassiere garment features front panels with cups for covering and supporting breasts. Each front panel includes a pocket for holding a therapeutic pad. The therapeutic pad can be put in a microwave for heating and/or in a refrigerator/freezer for cooling and can then be accommodated in the pockets of the garment for providing hot and/or cold therapy. The garment comes in different sizes and styles available for pain relief due to any type of condition. Each pocket includes three sewn sides and an opening for preventing the therapeutic pad from slipping into inappropriate or uncomfortable positions while wearing the brassiere garment.
POSTPARTUM BELLY WRAP
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.
Therapeutic bra
A therapeutic bra including a body portion having a front, a back, a first side, second side, a first cup, and a second cup; the front and the back are connected at the first and second sides, the first cup including a first opening for receiving a first nipple of a user therethrough; the second cup including a second opening for receiving a second nipple of the user therethrough; a flap coupled to the first cup and configured to selectively conceal or expose the first opening; a second flap coupled to the second cup and configured to selectively conceal or expose the second opening; and a first heating apparatus comprising a first heating loop operably connected to a power source and a controller disposed on the body portion; and first and second heating loops associated with the respective cup, the side, the front, and/or flap.
HEAT EXCHANGE MODULE, SYSTEM AND METHOD
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.
CLINICAL GARMENT WITH INSULATION
Aspects of the present disclosure can be related to a warming device, systems, and methods of using. The warming device can include a clinical garment comprising a body portion adapted to cover a portion of a patient, an inner surface configured to face the patient, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The body portion can include sleeves sized and positioned for receiving the patients arms. In addition, the clinical garment can include an insulative layer comprising an insulative edge portion disposed on the clinical garment. The insulative edge portion is configured to make the warming device non-linting.
Convective Warming Device
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a warming system including a warming device. The warming device includes a clinical garment comprising a body portion adapted to cover a portion of a patient, an inner surface for facing the patient, and an outer surface for facing away from the patient. The body portion includes sleeves sized and positioned for receiving the patient's arms and a torso portion adapted to cover an anterior torso of a patient. A first pneumatic convective device can be disposed adjacent to the inner surface of the clinical garment. The pneumatic convective device can include an opening formed in the clinical garment for admitting a stream of pressurized, warmed air into the first pneumatic convective device. The warming system can also have a second pneumatic convective device in a fully-folded configuration or partially-folded configuration and disposed on a portion of the clinical garment.
CLINICAL GARMENT WITH A CONVECTIVE DEVICE
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.
Cooling garments, warming garments, and related methods
The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophobic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.
Multifactorial dry eye treatment method
The present embodiments relate to a method of treating dry eyes. The method includes a plurality of visits to an eye doctor with each even numbered visit focused on a first eye and each odd numbered visit focused on a second eye. The plurality of visits comprises use of intense pulsed light (“IPL”) therapy, low level light therapy, an ocular nebulizer, dehydrated amniotic membranes, biologic eye drops, advanced lubricants, eyelid debridement, meibomian gland imaging and a slit lamp.
