A gel-pack has a plurality of self-contained components organized as layers in an interior chamber of the gel-pack. Each layer may be inserted into, and removed from, the interior chamber individually. The components include a solid-state gel layer that stores thermal energy, a first radiant energy barrier that prevents the transfer of thermal energy radiating from an exterior of the gel-pack into the solid-state gel layer, and a second radiant energy barrier that reflects the thermal energy radiating from the user's body into the solid-state gel layer.

A surgical drape for use during pre-operative and post-operative procedures and in sterile operating room environments comprises a drape panel, a heat source affixed to the drape panel for maintaining normal patient body temperature. A thermal panel affixed to the drape panel and defining a heat retention area is optional. The heat source comprises a single or plurality of air-activated chemical warming device for quick heating to optimal temperature and consistent discharge of heat over the desired time.

A heating pad includes a heat pad with an anterior and posterior side. The heat pad includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The second layer is located in between the first layer and the third layer. The first layer is located on the posterior side, while the third layer is located on the anterior side. The second layer has a wire selectively heated to increase the temperature of the heat pad. The third layer is a reflective material positioned to reflect heat from the second layer towards the first layer, decreasing heat emitted on the anterior side of the heat pad. The heating pad also includes a battery storage section for securing a battery. The battery is in electronical communication with the wire of the heat pad. The heating pad further includes an engagement mechanism to secure the heating pad to a user.

Embodiments provide a moldable warming device, including a heating disc; a first harmonic resonance frequency stimulation vibration generator (RFSVG); a coupling device; a mask configured to hold the heating disc, the first harmonic RFSVG, and the coupling device for use in parallel utility; and a sensor array, the sensor array configured to determine tuning parameters of a vibration and heating profile of a user's individual eyelid, periorbital, and nasal three-dimensional anatomy and surface topography. According to at least one embodiment, the moldable warming device is configured to provide an eyelid surface and periorbital structures with therapeutic warmth, and the first harmonic RFSVG is configured to provide tuned harmonic resonance or non-resonance frequency stimulation vibration over the user's nasal bridge area through the user's nasal bone such that nasal sensory nerves are stimulated to induce tear production reflex in the user's lacrimal function unit.

The invention relates to a portable cooling device for humans and/or animals, in particular a vest, a jacket, a cape, a coat or a blanket, characterized in that the portable cooling device (10) comprises at least two water atomizers, which are connected thereto, together with the reservoirs (2.2, 5) and at least two fans (2.1, 6), in that the portable cooling device (10) has a fixing device so that, when in use, a free ventilation and cooling region (11, 12) is formed between the portable cooling device (10) and the surface to be cooled (13, 14) of the human and/or animal, and in that the fans (2.1, 6) and the water atomizers together with the reservoirs (2.2, 5) for ventilating and cooling said ventilation and cooling region (11, 12) are arranged next to one another.

Exemplary blankets can comprise a flexible fluid-impermeable outer shell having two outer layers sealed around their perimeters, a flexible radiant barrier layer positioned inside the outer shell and being reflective of radiant energy, and a flexible thermal insulation layer positioned inside the outer shell adjacent the radiant barrier layer and comprising a material having low thermal conductivity, such that the blanket is capable of retaining patient body heat by creating a barrier to conductive, convective, and radiant patient body heat loss. Some disclosed blankets include an air cell layer or material capable of entrapping air, inside the outer shell, such as an exemplary open cell foam layer. Some disclosed blankets are MRI-compatible.

A heat exchange module alone or part of a system including a control console. The HEM can include a channel enclosure assembly, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) assembly and a heat transfer (cover) assembly. The enclosure assembly includes a channel for a heat-transfer liquid. The module can be constructed to provide for flexibility to better conform and fit on rounded and/or angular body parts and to efficiently transfer heat between the adjacent body part and the heat-transfer liquid via the TECs of the TEC assembly.

This is a portable device that will safely stop the drop of the body core temperature of a hypothermic victim, and slowly raise the core temperature back to a safe level. This is accomplished by the use of a DC heating element, memory foam cushions, and a heat reflecting element. All of which is encased in a vinyl sleeve that is reusable.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a warming system. The warming system includes a light device having a light source configured to be positioned proximate to a patient support having a patient support surface. The light source can also be configured to generate infrared radiation. The warming system can also include a flexible sheet having a first side configured to reflect at least some of the generated infrared radiation from the light device toward a portion of the patient support surface.

A thermal pack having a pouch, the pouch having a first wall and a second wall coupled to the first wall to form an interior volume. The interior volume configured to retain a thermal means. A thermal resistivity of the first wall is greater than a thermal resistivity of the second wall such that heat flow into, or out of, the interior volume is primarily through the second wall.
