Heat therapy system using array of insulated probes applied per system's unique parameters

Abstract

The invention is, inter alia, an electrically powered heating pad/rod/probe/cubic that utilizes variously-sized probe tips (geometric shaped substantially-solid “elements,” “rods,” “cubics” or “probes,” which are versatile and effective in poking/massaging different parts of the human body. The apparatus device and system is intended for medical purposes, providing heat therapy for body surfaces. The probes are capable of maintaining an elevated temperature during use, substantially dependent on the body part and other sensory feedback. The invention is used, inter alia, for warming of desired parts of the human body in order to alleviate and manage body pain. The localized application of the heat causes the blood vessels in (and underneath) that area to dilate, enhancing perfusion to the targeted tissue. The system involves proper thermal poking/application of specially-tailored geometric-shaped heating rods (aka “probe heads, or “cubics”) which are securely covered with disposable covers [ideally cotton/polyester/spandex and amalgams thereof] disposable fabric] which allows good hygiene and sanitation during repeated use. The device's cubics are each equipped with a central-core resistive heating element; the device/system comprises an automatic shut off feature and protective alarm—&—circuitry to properly respond to overcurrent & overvoltage.
