An apparatus comprises several different body part wraps that connect individually to two fluidic systems. The apparatus reservoirs, hot and cold, operate with pumps. The body part wraps have two separate compartments for hot and cold fluid. The body part wraps allow hot fluid to be pumped into the first compartment and exit back to the reservoir. Then the cold fluid enters the second compartment and exits. The pumps push the fluids through the body part wraps creating a vibrating massage and activates the body's acupressure points. The apparatus provides a therapy by using two fluids, vibrating massage and the body's acupressure points to create a method to facilitate blood flow by stimulating circulation, thus speeding up the body's natural self-curative abilities.
摘要:
The present application relates to systems and methods for maintaining reduced core body temperature in a subject having a reduced core body temperature. Heat is applied to peripheral thermoregulatory control tissue of the subject to increase or maintain perfusion of blood in glabrous tissue of the subject. A cooling stimulus is applied to the glabrous tissue thereby maintaining reduced core body temperature in the subject.
摘要:
Systems and methods provide air or gas-based temperature-controlled medical devices. The systems and methods may be applied to provide therapy to a patient suffering orthopedic or other injuries. Air or other gas is temperature-controlled and adjusted to meet a patient's physical needs and delivered the patient therapy site through a temperature regulated system including a therapeutic orthopedic wrap. Feedback mechanisms allow the caregiver or the patient to adjust the temperature of the gas. Other fluids may also be used. The systems and methods permit use of electrotherapy for enhanced therapy and injury recovery.
摘要:
The invention is a device capable of performing an unspecified number of treatments on any part of the body, locally or generally and at high speed, wherein the patient does not come into contact with vapours or fluids, whether in manual or automatic operating mode with pre-programmed treatments, using to this end contrasting applications as an essential base. The patient receives the contrasting applications through so-called contrast modules (17) made of impermeable, flexible and heat-conducting material, designed to suit each of the areas of the patient's body to be treated. The fluid, previously heated or cooled to the appropriate temperature, circulates through the contrast modules, transmitting the different temperatures therethrough (cold and hot applications). The device includes, for operation thereof, a thermostat control module having one, two, three or more independent circuits.

The present disclosure includes methods, devices, and systems associated with clinical support. In one embodiment, a clinical support pad includes a plurality of support cells formed in a first film layer of material sufficiently impermeable to a fluid contained in the cells such that each cell is configured to be alternately and repeatedly inflated and deflated with respect to one or more adjacent cells. Each cell is in fluid communication with at least one of a number of channels formed in the first film layer, is configured such that a surface of each cell has a continuous curvature across a length direction and across a width direction of the cell, and are spaced such that a distance between a center of each cell and a center of at least one adjacent cell is not more than a two-point discrimination threshold distance associated with a patient.
