Abstract
The present invention relates to a first conformable material having a three-dimensional shape and a first hypothermia and/or hyperthermia device. This invention is used as a pad for sleeping, lying down, or sitting, to maintain a desired temperature to the contacting surface of a body to the pad.
Claims60
A pad comprising
- a first sealable bag, the first sealable bag has at least a first conformable material having a three-dimensional reformable shape and a first thermally conductive medium;
- and
- a first hypothermia and/or hyperthermia device near the first conformable material to alter the temperature of the first thermally conductive medium.
A method of using a pad comprising the step of:
- inserting a first sealable bag into the pad, the sealable bag has at least a first conformable material and a first thermally conductive medium;
- and
- adjusting a first hypothermia and/or hyperthermia device positioned near the first conformable material to obtain a predetermined temperature for the thermally conductive medium, the first conformable material has a three-dimensional reformable shape.
A pad comprising
- a first gelatinous elastomeric material having a three-dimensional shape and a plurality of apertures interspaced throughout the first gelatinous elastomeric material;
- a first convective hypothermia and/or hyperthermia device near the first gelatinous elastomeric material.
