==PATIENT THERMAL REGULATION SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009028 titled 'PATIENT THERMAL REGULATION SYSTEMS

==Simplified Explanation==

The disclosed patent application describes devices and systems that can control the temperature of air and direct it through enclosed chambers placed next to a patient, without blowing air directly on the patient. The devices have an air inlet, an air outlet, and a defined air flow pathway between them. The air exiting the device can be directed away from the patient. The devices include a crush-resistant but flexible air-flow layer inside the enclosure, allowing air flow even when the patient is lying on the device. A cushioning layer can also be included on top of the air-flow layer. The flowing air can be of any desired temperature to warm or cool the patient. The technology can be used for both human and animal patients.

* Devices and systems for temperature-controlled air circulation near a patient
* Enclosed chambers with air inlet, air outlet, and defined air flow pathway
* Air directed away from the patient
* Crush-resistant and flexible air-flow layer inside the enclosure
* Cushioning layer overlaying the air-flow layer
* Air can be of any desired temperature
* Applicable to both human and animal patients

== Potential Applications ==
* Medical settings (hospitals, clinics) for temperature control during surgeries or recovery
* Veterinary clinics for temperature control during procedures or post-surgery recovery
* Home healthcare for temperature regulation of bedridden patients
* Sports medicine for temperature control during rehabilitation or recovery

== Problems Solved ==
* Avoids blowing air directly on the patient, which can cause discomfort or disturb medical procedures
* Provides a controlled and directed air flow to regulate the patient's temperature
* Allows air flow even when the patient is lying on the device, thanks to the crush-resistant and flexible air-flow layer
* Provides cushioning for added comfort and support

== Benefits ==
* Improved patient comfort and temperature control without direct air blowing
* Enhanced airflow even when the patient is in contact with the device
* Versatile application for both human and animal patients
* Can be used in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare
* Potential for use in sports medicine for temperature regulation during rehabilitation or recovery.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

disclosed herein are devices and systems that conduct temperature-controlled air through one or more enclosed chambers that are placed adjacent to a patient to help control the patient's temperature without blowing air directly on the patient. in some embodiments, the enclosed chamber has an air inlet and an air outlet and a defined air flow pathway therebetween. air exiting the device can be directed away from the patient. the devices can include a crush-resistant but flexible air-flow layer of material inside the enclosure that allows air flow even when a patient is laying on the device. a cushioning layer can also be included overlaying the air-flow layer. the flowing air can be any desired temperature to help warm or cool a patient. the patient can be a human or animal, for example.
