Abstract
A medical device providing a combination of thermal and DVT therapies to a patient. The components, arrangement of components, function of the device as a whole, and methods of use of the device are all devised to maximize therapeutic effectiveness. Effectiveness in this context is measured by the ability to provide a controlled application of the recommended thermal treatment including time, temperature, compression, and number of cycles with specified cycle duration.
Claims19
A therapeutic thermal compression device comprising:
- a temperature system, a compression system, and a control system, wherein said temperature system comprises a heating and/or cooling assembly having an upper, and a lower plate, and at least one thermoelectric module (TEM), a first TEM being interposed between said upper and said lower plate,
- a radiator portion separate from said temperature system and from said heating and/or cooling assembly, said radiator portion and said temperature system connected to a fluid tank;
- a fluid pump portion connected with said fluid tank;
- a liquid being circulated through said radiator portion and said temperature system without passing through said fluid tank;
- wherein said liquid is heated or cooled by said first TEM by passing said liquid through said heating and/or cooling assembly of said temperature system.
A therapeutic thermal compression device comprising:
- a temperature system, a compression system, and a control system, wherein said temperature system comprises a heating and/or cooling assembly having an upper, a center, and a lower plate, and two or more thermoelectric module (TEM), wherein at least one TEM being interposed between said upper and center plates and at least another TEM being interposed between said center plate and said lower plate,
- a radiator portion separate from said temperature system and from said heating and/or cooling assembly, said radiator portion and said temperature system connected to a fluid tank;
- a fluid pump portion connected with said fluid tank;
- a liquid being circulated through said radiator portion and said temperature system without passing through said fluid tank;
- wherein said liquid is heated or cooled by said TEM by passing said liquid through said heating and/or cooling assembly of said temperature system;
- and
- wherein said control system further comprises a touch-screen interface.
A therapeutic thermal compression device comprising:
- a temperature system, a compression system, and a control system, wherein said temperature system comprises a heating and/or cooling assembly having an upper plate, a lower plate and at least one thermoelectric module (TEM), wherein said TEM is located between said upper and said lower plate;
- a radiator portion separate from said temperature system and from said heating/cooling assembly, said radiator portion and said temperature system connected to a fluid tank;
- a fluid pump portion connected with said fluid tank;
- a liquid being circulated through said radiator portion and said temperature system without passing through said fluid tank;
- wherein said liquid is heated or cooled by said TEM by passing said liquid through said heating and/or cooling assembly of said temperature system.
