A liquid temperature control system for a therapeutic device, comprising:
- a therapeutic device body;
- a liquid cooler for cooling liquid of said liquid temperature control system;
- a liquid heater for heating liquid of said liquid temperature control system;
- an interior liquid pad fluidly coupled with said liquid cooler and said liquid heater and configured to be heated and cooled by liquid from said liquid cooler and said liquid heater,
- wherein said interior liquid pad is disposed within said therapeutic device body;
- an exterior liquid pad fluidly coupled with said liquid cooler and said liquid heater by a flexible fluid line,
- wherein said exterior liquid pad is configured to be heated and cooled by liquid from said liquid cooler and said liquid heater, and
