摘要:
The present invention relates to a life cradle device for the purpose of inducing therapeutic hypothermia in neonates suffering from birth asphyxia. The device essentially consists of a rigid outer skeleton which could be fitted with removable mattresses containing form stable organic phase change materials effecting instant and sustained cooling. Multiple compartments of different phase change material composition functional at different temperatures are arranged in layers to replicate cooling performances as in conventional cascading systems. The device is also designed to have thermo-chromic indicators with an option of probes for automation control techniques. The device may also be fitted with thermostat controlled infant radiant warmer to automatically switch on when the infant is cooled down below requirement as a safety consideration.

The present invention relates to an infrared radiation device including a mounting (2) capable of receiving a user who is lying down (9) and a covering portion (1) capable of covering the user (9) who is lying down on the mounting (2). The covering portion (1) includes a first heating layer (5a) which is capable of emitting infrared radiation (6) in the space located between the inner surface of the first heating layer (5a) and the mounting (2). The profile of the first heating layer (5a) is a parabolic curve allowing improved distribution of the infrared radiation (6).
摘要:
A method for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may involve delivering heat to a first location on a limb of the patient, delivering heat to a second location on the limb, apart from the first location, and applying intermittent compression to a third location on the limb, located between the first location and the second location. A device for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may include a sleeve for positioning over at least part of one of the patient's limbs, first and second heat delivery members coupled with the sleeve, and an intermittent compression member coupled with the sleeve between the first and second heat delivery members.
摘要:
A patient-treatment system and related method provide relief from, and treatment for, muscle spasticity disorders, Willis-Ekbom disease, contracture, sleep onset insomnia, sleep maintenance insomnia, rheumatoid arthritis, and other similar disorders by applying controlled heat, and optionally muscle monitoring / stimulation, to one or more parts of a patient's body.
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for the stimulation of thermal receptors in the skin of a patient by means of thermal stimuli. The device comprises a plurality of noninvasive stimulation units for irradiating the skin of the patient with electromagnetic radiation, wherein thermal stimuli are produced by absorption of the electromagnetic radiation in the skin of the patient and the wavelength range of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the stimulation units can be adjusted. The device also comprises a control unit for controlling the stimulation units.
摘要:
La présente invention se rapporte à l'utilisation d'un article à base d'une composition polymérique qui comprend l'utilisation d'additifs ayant des propriétés d'émission et/ou absorption de radiation dans la région de l'infrarouge long. Plus spécifiquement, la composition comprend au moins deux additifs choisis parmi les additifs organiques ou les charges minérales qui présentent une capacité d'absorption/émission de radiation dans la région infrarouge, dans une plage de longueur d'onde située entre 2µm et 20µm, ainsi qu'un substrat polymérique, les charges minérales pouvant être d'au moins un type choisi parmi les oxydes, sulfates, carbonates, phosphates et silicates, et présentant une taille moyenne de particule inférieure à 2µm, les additifs organiques étant choisis parmi les composés organiques comprenant du silicium et les composés organiques métalliques.
摘要:
The support and control appts. includes a frame (16), and an upwardly facing patient support surface (40) with a perimeter carried by the frame. An air generator is mounted on the frame and provides two curtains of air. Each air curtain originates adjacent to the perimeter and converges at a point above the patient support surface. The curtains combine with the support surface to define a patient space. A third curtain of air is provided originating adjacent to the perimeter of the support surface and directed into the patient space. A fourth air curtain opposes the third and is directed into the patient's space.
