Abstract: Removable liquid heat exchanging element (100) for use in a device for temperature control treatment (400) comprising a support structure (300), and a liquid transporter (200) supported by the support structure (300). The removable liquid heat exchanging element (100) is configured to be positioned in a slot (402) in the device for temperature control treatment (400). The liquid transporter (200) comprises an inlet (201) and an outlet (206) and a lumen for liquid transportation. The lumen is at least partially enclosed by a heat exchanging portion (205) of a flexible wall configured to engage a heat exchanging surface (401a, 401b) of the device for temperature control treatment (400). The support structure (300) is configured to engage and partially enclose a portion of the liquid transporter (200) such that an occlusion (203) is formed between the inlet (201) and the heat exchanging portion (205) of the lumen for liquid transportation.

Abstract: A constriction device (100) adapted to be placed on the head of a patient for regulating the temperature of the brain. The constriction device comprises at least two protruding pressure elements (101a?, 101b?, 101c?) configured to create bilateral pressure on at least one from a list consisting of: the facial veins (10), the superficial temporal veins (20), the posterior auricular veins (30), and the occipital veins (40), such that the blood flow in the constricted veins is restricted.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system (100) for a patient (10), the system comprising one or more devices (110a; 110b). Each of the one or more devices (110a; 110b) comprises a nasal cavity element (120a; 120b) adapted to be introduced through a nostril into the nasal cavity (12) of the patient (10), tubing (130a; 130b), fluidly connected to the nasal cavity element (120a; 120b), said tubing (130a, 130b) being arranged to provide a fluid to the nasal cavity element (120a; 120b), and a sleeve (140a; 140b) slidably attached to said nasal cavity element (120a; 120b) and said tubing (130a; 130b). The sleeve (140a; 140b) is movable from a closed position (FIG. 2A) at which the sleeve (140a; 140b) encloses and protects the nasal cavity element (120a; 120b), and an open position (FIGS. 2B, 3B) at which at least a part of the nasal cavity element (120a; 120b) protrudes from the sleeve (140a; 140b).

Abstract: A system (10) for cerebral temperature control of a living being, comprising a double lumen catheter means (30) configured to be introduced through a nostril of a living being and to be placed with its tip at the level of the back of the tongue. The double lumen catheter means (30) comprises a first lumen (32) and a second lumen (38), said first and second lumens are in fluid communication by means of a set of end openings (34), said second lumen being configured as an expandable balloon. Further comprising a temperature regulator (24) connected to a reservoir (20) comprising a fluid (22), said temperature regulator being configured to regulate the temperature of said fluid, and means (12, 14, 16) for circulating said temperature regulated fluid from said reservoir into said first lumen, from said first lumen into said second lumen, and from said second lumen back to said reservoir.
