At least one handle is in attachment with the outer part. The wearable device further comprises at least one band disposed on the outer part between the outer part upper end and outer part lower end.

A targeted temperature management (TTM) system is disclosed that includes a TTM module to provide a TTM fluid, a fluid delivery line (FDL) including a FDL hub, a fluid delivery lumen and a fluid return lumen, and a pad to facilitate thermal energy transfer between the TTM fluid and a patient, the pad including a fluid delivery conduit extending away from the pad portion and including a first leak prevention valve configured to enable the TTM fluid to flow in a distal direction while preventing flow in a proximal direction, and a fluid return conduit extending away from the pad portion, the fluid return conduit including (i) a return conduit connector at a proximal end thereof, and (ii) a second leak prevention valve configured to enable the TTM fluid to flow in the proximal direction while preventing flow in the distal direction.

A hot air producing system produces and stores hot air, and applies the stored hot air to a human body. The system includes a heating apparatus to heat the air, a temperature setting gauge to allow a user to set a desired temperature, a pressure gauge to measure a pressure of the air in the container, a pump to pump the hot air, a fill connection, an expandable container for receiving and storing the hot air, with a valve to connect to the fill connection such that the expandable container can receive the hot air, an adjustable flow release mechanism to allow a user to adjust an amount of flow of hot air out of the expandable container, and a flexible hose connected to the adjustable flow release mechanism, with a nozzle to direct the hot air to a portion of the human body.

A bandage-type apparatus includes a skin condition compartment that is adhered to cover a skin condition with leak-proof adhesive surrounding the compartment that attaches to skin adjacent the skin condition and with a non-adhesive material of the compartment covering the skin condition. A liquid pouch or container with a releasable liquid is coupled to the skin condition compartment and configured for the liquid, such as saline solution, to be released into the compartment to provide a bath or soak in the leak-proof, body-adhered skin condition compartment to provide treatment or relief to the skin condition, such as a sore nipple of a breastfeeding mother.

A cold and hot compress pack includes a first sheet (110), a second sheet (120), a third sheet (130), a first weld seam (210), a second weld seam (220), a gas port (310) and at least two liquid ports (320). The first sheet (110), the second sheet (120) and the third sheet (130) are sequentially stacked one above another. The first weld seam (210) joins the first sheet (110), the second sheet (120) and the third sheet (130) at a same planimetric position. The second weld seam (220) surrounds the first sheet (110), the second sheet (120) and the third sheet (130) and joins them together at a same planimetric position. The second weld seam (220) is joined to one end of the first weld seam (210), thereby forming a first cavity (141) between the first sheet (110) and the second sheet (120) and a second cavity (142) between the second sheet (120) and the third sheet (130). The gas port (310) is arranged between any two of the liquid ports (320) so as to be spaced apart from both. The at least two liquid ports (320) are in communication with the second cavity (142), and the gas port (310) is in communication with the first cavity (141). An end of the first weld seam (210) joined to the second weld seam (220) extends between the gas port (310) and any one of the liquid ports (320) while being spaced apart from both. Also disclosed are a corresponding manufacturing method and a cold and hot compress circulation system.

An integrated storage pouch apparatus for a back support and thermal therapy device for supporting and applying thermal therapy to a user's back which includes a back support member having a first surface and an opposing second surface, the first surface configured to face and support a user's back, a thermal therapy storage compartment integrally formed between the first and second surfaces of the back support member and configured to store a thermal pack, first and second adjustable strap members coupled to opposite ends of the back support member, each of the first and second adjustable strap members are configured to wrap around a user's knee, wherein the back support member folds inside out to through the thermal therapy storage compartment to form a strap storage compartment configured to receive and store the first and second adjustable strap members. The combined back support and thermal therapy apparatus provides thermal therapy to the user, while at the same time using the user's knees to help support the user in a proper healthy posture, when sitting.

A surgical fluid thermal treatment system can be used during a procedure to heat or cool surgical fluid, e.g., prior to introducing the fluid into the body of a patient. In some examples, the system includes an open basin into which fresh surgical fluid is dispensed and a heater that heats the fluid in the basin. The system may also include a volume measurement device that measures the volume of fluid in the basin. The system may have a user interface that a user interacts with to check fresh fluid into the basin. The user may also interact with the user interface to check medical tools into the basin and check medical tools out of the basin. A controller associated with the system can track the volume of fluid removed from the basin during the course of a procedure.

Disclosed is a system which employs a cooling or heating pad which is preferably rechargeable with hot or cold temperatures at an intended area of the body. The pad includes a highly temperature-conductive or temperature-retentive material which can be cooled or heated using a portable source of heat or cold material delivered to the pad by a removable delivery conduit. Valves can be included to regulate flow of the cooling or heating material from the source to the pad. The system can also include a dual-chambered canister for containing two different media for heating, cooling or for alternating heating and cooling the pad.

An appendage cooling and heating system has a body with an outer layer, an inner layer, and an interstitial space for containing a thermo-regulator material. The inner layer and the outer layer are nested to form a joint. An appendage opening is formed in the appendage cooling and heating system to receive an appendage of the user. The joint forms an interlocking seal between the outer layer and the inner layer to contain the thermo-regulator material within the interstitial space.

A heating device has a receiving space for holding water and a flexible wall. An inorganic phase change material for at least temporarily controlling a temperature of the water is disposed in the receiving space. The phase change material has a property of absorbing energy during an endothermic phase transition when warmed by the water and releasing energy in the form of heat during an exothermic phase transition. The phase change material may partially or completely undergo the endothermic phase transition when hot water is poured into the receiving space. The phase change material is disposed in a housing formed as a flexible film composed of a polymer material. An actuating means for triggering the exothermic phase transition is in fluid communication with the phase change material.
