Abstract
In various aspects, the invention includes a wearable therapy delivery device for applying thermal therapy and/or compressive therapy. In some cases, the wearable therapy delivery device includes an inner layer configured to contact a body surface of a user; an outer layer; temperature therapy modules enclosed between the inner layer and the outer layer proximate the inner layer; and/or compressive therapy modules located proximate the one or more temperature therapy modules. In some cases, the compressive therapy modules are configured to force the temperature therapy modules toward the body surface of the user.
Claims20
A wearable therapy delivery device, the device comprising:
- an inner layer configured to contact a body surface of a user;
- an outer layer;
- one or more temperature therapy modules enclosed between the inner layer and the outer layer proximate the inner layer;
- and
- one or more compressive therapy modules located proximate the one or more temperature therapy modules, wherein the one or more compressive therapy modules are configured to force the one or more temperature therapy modules toward the body surface of the user.
A method for delivering a therapy, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a wearable therapy delivery device comprising:
- an inner layer configured to contact a body surface of a user;
- an outer layer;
- one or more temperature therapy modules enclosed between the inner layer and the outer layer proximate the inner layer, and one or more compressive therapy modules located proximate the one or more temperature therapy modules, wherein the one or more compressive therapy modules are configured to force the one or more temperature therapy modules towards the body surface of the user;
- applying the inner layer of the device to the body surface;
- and
- activating the one or more temperature therapy modules and the one or more compressive therapy modules.
