Problems solved by technology

These types of products have the disadvantage that loose powder formulations do not always conform adequately to parts of the skin and do not conduct heat fully to the skin due to the woven or non-woven fabric surface being in contact with the skin
In this composition, thermal conductivity is not optimal since the composition is separated from the skin by a fabric barrier

Embodiment Construction

[0024] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term substantially is to be understood to mean at least about 60%. More preferably at least about 75%.

[0025] The present invention relates to thermal therapy devices, such as thermal pads, for use in the management of muscle and joint pain, which are worn next to the skin of a human body. The thermal treatment device provides improved relief therapy benefits by substantially covering the surface of diseased muscle groups, thereby providing targeted treatment of those specific muscle groups. By designing a thermal therapy device with the shape of a specific muscle or muscle group, the device can be used to treat the back, neck or shoulders of a person. The specific shape and size of the device of the present invention has the further benefit of minimizing waste and manufacturing costs. The thermal treatment device, which may be substantially shaped as a trapezoid, may be designed for use on the right hand side of the b...

Abstract

The invention relates to a thermal treatment device, wherein a thermal treatment device to be worn in close proximity to the skin of a human is disclosed. The thermal treatment device comprises a thermal composition; wherein the device substantially covers the left or right trapezius muscle of the neck and shoulder or the left or right paraspinal muscles in the lower back and the tender point of the respective sacroiliac joint.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to thermal therapy devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a thermal treatment device having a profile that covers the surface of the trapezius or lower lumbar paraspinal muscles. Background technique [0002] For those with sore muscles and joint pain, warm compresses reduce fluid viscosity, relax stiff muscles, promote blood flow to affected areas, facilitate tissue repair, and create a feeling of relief. Applying heat to the skin as a means of penetrating deeper tissues has been used in the past to relieve muscle and joint pain and to treat some inflammations. For some acute injuries, cold compresses can numb pain, constrict blood vessels, and reduce inflammation. Applying cold material to the skin has been used in similar treatments, especially for inflammatory reactions such as arthritis. [0003] In some cases, traditional heat therapy devices use chemical formulations that oxidize when expose...
