摘要:
An integrated thermoformable splint and heater and method for manufacturing same includes a thermoplastic material and an oxygen activated heater operatively associated with the thermoplastic material. The integrated thermoformable splint and heater are sealed within an oxygen impermeable housing. Oxygen is allowed to activate the heater either by removing the assembly from the sealed housing, or, by displacement of a removable seal that will allow oxygen to penetrate a porous region in the housing, and, in turn, come into contact with the heater.
摘要:
A thermoformable article having a body constructed using material which is rigid at temperatures below a thermoformable temperature and becomes formable when heated to a temperature above a thermoformable temperature and a heater material in thermal contact with the body when the heater material is activated, wherein the heat generated by the heater material when activated is provided by an enthalpy of solution of the heater material.

摘要:
An oxygen based heater and various electrolyte solution formulations for same wherein the boiling point and/or relative humidity of the electrolyte solution are used as a determining basis for using that electrolyte solution in the heater.
摘要:
An article capable of being heated having a material with a plurality of cavities formed therein. The article includes at least one heater which may be embedded in at least one of the plurality of cavities formed in the material. A sheet of porous material may be operatively engaged with the article over the material so that the plurality of cavities are covered and the at least one heater is held therein.

摘要:
A thermoformable medical member and heater and method for manufacturing same. A thermoplastic material is converted from a relatively rigid state to a formable state over a narrow temperature range, and, which reverts back to a clinically rigid state within a relatively short period of time, and, which remains in that state even at elevated ambient temperatures.
