摘要:
A cerebral protection system generally includes an array of cold packs, an insulating cover, and optionally a set of trays. The cold pack contains two reactive materials separated by a rupturable membrane. When the first reactive material and the second reactive material are mixed, an endothermic reaction occurs. The system can be used to induce hypothermia in selected regions of the brain when used.

A self-contained heated wax treatment apparatus can include an outer shell and a rack disposed inside the outer shell. The rack can include a receptacle holder and at least one heater holder. A receptacle can be connected to the rack. A heater can be connected to the heater holder of the rack. Activation of the heater causes heat to flow to the receptacle.

A cooling device for placement against a body part or object includes a shell member having an outer face and an inner face disposed against a surface to be cooled. A first cooling substrate is disposed within the shell member and is an absorbent web having a generally uniform application of a first cooling composition applied thereto, the cooling composition activated by contact with an aqueous liquid. An aqueous liquid source is disposed within the shell member and is separated from the first cooling substrate by a barrier member. The device is activated by manual manipulation to breach the barrier member causing liquid from the liquid source to move within the interior space of the shell member to contact and activate the cooling composition whereby a cooling reaction is generated.

Mixtures of C1-12 compounds comprising at least one -Alk-O— group with thermogenic formulations, such as those comprising supercooled solutions of salts, are capable of substantial enhancement of transdermal drug delivery.

A cooling device includes a target fluid inlet, a target fluid outlet, an inner conduit, and a chamber surrounding the inner conduit. The inner conduit communicates with the target fluid inlet and the target fluid outlet, and provides a flow path for a target fluid to be cooled. The chamber contains a first endothermic reactant and includes a reactant inlet selectively alterable from a closed state to an open state. When the reactant inlet is in the closed state, the first endothermic reactant is isolated from a second endothermic reactant and no endothermic reaction occurs. When the reactant inlet is in the open state, the reactant inlet provides a flow path for enabling the second endothermic reactant to come into contact with the first endothermic reactant in the chamber for initiating the endothermic reaction and cooling the target fluid in the inner conduit.

摘要:
A compartmentalized wrap around cooling element, assembly, or device for cooling relief or swelling may be provided. The compartmentalized wrap may include a series of poly-vinyl alcohol dividers to provide distinctly separate cooling sections, for long lasting cooling relief. Tube connector joints, tube loops, button snaps, and Velcro connectors may provide a secure means for forming a wrap around or loop, to encircle an area multiple times. An encasement design may provide an alternative means of securing the wrap to a large area, such as an adult head.
摘要:
A temperature pack adapted to enclose an appendage, and method of forming such a temperature pack is provided. The temperature pack is a tubular pouch with an inner wall spaced apart from an outer wall. An opening extending through the tubular pouch, and the inner wall is twisted relative to the outer wall. The temperature pack is formed by rolling a tube onto itself such that the distal ends of the tube are aligned to each other. The temperature pack may be filled with particulate material separated from a liquid solvent wherein when the two are mixed an exothermic or endothermic reaction occurs.
摘要:
A device for activating a two component reaction system where the two reaction component are in separate containers with one container inside the other. The containers are sealed from each other and the inner container includes an activation element for opening a part of the seal. A pressure differential between the pressure in the inner and outer containers is made so the inner container has the higher pressure. Opening a part of the seal in the inner container drives the second component to react with the first reaction component. The seal is opened by cutting the inner container.
