Abstract
An apparatus includes a portable housing with a cavity, a heater disposed within the cavity of the housing, a temperature buffering device coupled to the heater and disposed within the cavity of the housing, a non-biological skin substitute substrate coupled to the temperature buffering device and disposed within the cavity of the housing, and a carbon dioxide delivery device coupled to the housing. The non-biological skin substrate simulates a surface property of human skin.
