APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR AT LEAST ONE OF ICING, HEATING, AND COMPRESSING A USER'S BODY PART
A wearable device for at least one of icing, heating and compressing a user’s body part is disclosed. The wearable device comprises an inner part and an outer part. The outer part is arranged with the inner part such that the outer part surrounds the inner part. A compartment is defined by the space between the outer part and the inner part and above the first attaching means. A compression force is provided by the second set of elastic properties compressing at least one of the hot element and the cold element against the user’s body part thereby eliminating a second attaching means above the first attaching means within the compartment. 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.
Equine thermal therapy overleg device
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.
ORGAN CONTAINER
An organ container has a pouch-shaped body having contraction and expansion properties and an opening. In a no-load condition, a maximum width of the opening is less than a maximum width of the body. On the other hand, the opening is expandable to a state in which the maximum width of the opening becomes greater than the maximum width of the body. Thus, the organ container covers the surface of an organ along the surface of the organ. Accordingly, when an organ is placed in the body cavity of a recipient, the organ container does not expand around the organ. For this reason, the organ container is less likely to hinder work during operation. Moreover, the organ container covers most part of the organ and thereby suppresses a temperature rise in the organ.
Cooling pack
Described are various embodiments of a cooling pack. In one such embodiment a cooling pack is provided for cooling a crotch region of a human while seated on a seating surface, the cooling pack comprising a tapered container for holding a cooling material therein, and defined by tapering upper and lower surfaces drawing into a tapered edge to be positioned between the crotch region and the seating surface in use, thereby providing cooling for the region.
COOLING EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING COOLING EQUIPMENT
This cooling apparatus includes a tube (10) having an opening portion (10a) in one end portion in a longitudinal direction thereof, a cap (30) capable of opening/closing the opening portion (10a), a non-freezing drinkable coolant (20) that fills the tube (10), and a container (50) that contains the tube (10) filled with the coolant (20). The tube has a constricted portion (10d) having a reduced inner diameter.
COOLING SYSTEM COMPRISING CELLS FOR RECEIVING A COOLANT
A cooling system having a multitude of fluidly coupled cells for receiving a coolant is disclosed. The cooling system is characterized in that the cooling system has a flexible cover that covers the multitude of cells, an air gap between the flexible cover and the cells and an air pump for modifying the air gap.
ENDOTHERMIC COMPRESSION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Devices and systems for providing cooling and compression to a site needing hemostasis can include a compression member having a component that can be inflated with one or more fluids, including a coolant solution. Cooling can be initiated and maintained by securing such a device to the site and optionally equipping the device with the coolant solution. A system can include materials for equipping the device with a coolant solution.
Apparatus and method for ice water immersion therapy
An emergency management system having an ice water immersion bag capable of rapidly cooling an overheated individual body through its combination of elements, apertures, and capacity. An overheated individual is placed within the ice immersion bag, yet there body may still be accessed in the event of a medical emergency through the use of one of the many openings containing throughout the bag. The openings otherwise remain sealed and waterproof to prevent the ice water from escaping the bag, further effectuating ice water immersion to rapidly cool the overheated individual.
EQUINE CRYOTHERAPY BOOT
The present disclosure provides an equine therapy boot and methods of attaching the equine therapy boot to a lower extremity of a horse leg and hoof. The equine therapy boot includes an upper portion and a lower portion and an attachment means for securing the upper portion to the lower portion. The upper portion includes a fluid containment area for holding a thermal control fluid in proximity to a portion of the horse leg selected to receive treatment.
