Abstract
Disclosed is a system which employs a cooling or heating pad which is preferably rechargeable with hot or cold temperatures at an intended area of the body. The pad includes a highly temperature-conductive or temperature-retentive material which can be cooled or heated using a portable source of heat or cold material delivered to the pad by a removable delivery conduit. Valves can be included to regulate flow of the cooling or heating material from the source to the pad. The system can also include a dual-chambered canister for containing two different media for heating, cooling or for alternating heating and cooling the pad.
Claims25
A portable heating or cooling pad system for applying hot or cold temperature to an area of a body in need of treatment using hot or cold temperature, said system comprising:
- a) a pad comprising a layer of highly efficient temperature-conductive or temperature-retentive material, said pad comprising one connecting conduit for receiving heating or cooling medium from a portable source of cooling or heating medium;
- b) a detachable delivery conduit for delivering the heating or cooling medium from a source to the conductive material;
- and
- c) the portable source of cooling or heating medium within a container, said medium being deliverable, as desired, to the temperature-conductive or temperature-retentive material by the removable delivery conduit for delivering the heating or cooling medium from a source to the conductive material within the pad to cool or heat the temperature-conductive or temperature-retentive material and pad for use;
- wherein the temperature-conductive or temperature-retentive material and pad is cooled or heated at the site of use without requiring removal of the pad or without requiring continuous circulation of the medium from the source to the pad during use.
