Abstract: A compression device has a main body and a wrap. The main body has an air pump and a valve assembly. The valve assembly has a manifold, multiple first valves, and multiple air connectors. The manifold connects the air pump and the first valves. The air connectors are connected to the first valves respectively. The wrap is used for wrapping a human limb and has an air bag. The air bag has multiple pockets. The pockets are isolated from each other and connected to the air connectors respectively. Thus, each pocket can compress a part of the human limb independently. With the independent pockets, the compression device may compress a specified part of the human limb rather than the whole wrapped human limb. Moreover, with the pockets independently compressing and relaxing, the wrapped human limb may experience a massage, which helps the wrapped human limb to relax and recover.

Abstract: A thermal therapy device can be operated for both cold and hot water circulation by using a self-priming pump and four solenoid valves with the open/closed states selectively controlled by an MCU to pump chilled water or cold water from two different water containers to sequentially circulate through two different water paths to a water bladder for cold therapy treatment or hot therapy treatment. During the hot therapy treatment, a water heater is used to heat the cold water until a configured temperature is reached. A pneumatic pump is also employed to carry out an air pressure control mode to pump air into an air bladder securely attached on the water bladder to put pressure on the water bladder for a pressurized treatment. Water retained in the water bladder can also be evacuated and returned to the two different water containers to avoid moss generation and stinky odor.

Abstract: A cold compression device has a driving assembly, a tank, a wrap assembly, and a tube assembly. The driving assembly includes a water pump and an air pump. The wrap assembly has a wrap, a water pack in the wrap, and an air pack in the wrap and overlapped on the water pack. The tube assembly has a first tube, a second tube, a third tube, and a fourth tube. The first tube connects the tank and the water pump. The second tube connects the water pump and the water pack. The third tube communicates with the water pack and the tank. The fourth tube connects the air pump and the air pack. Thus, as the first tube is detachable from and put out of the tank, the water pump may draw air into the water pack, which discharges the water in the water pack thoroughly.

Abstract: A temperature conditioning device has a connection tube assembly, a heat exchange unit, a system controller, and a wrap assembly connected to the connection tube assembly. The wrap assembly has a water bag, an air bag and a sleeve wrapped around the air bag and the water bag. The system controller has a water pump for drawing liquid from the heat exchange unit to the water bag to cool or warm a body part of a user, and a pneumatic pump for inflating the air bag to provide holding force. The temperature conditioning device forms a water cycle between the heat exchange unit and the water bag so the water bag is able to keep a cool or warm temperature to comfort a user continuously.

Abstract: A portable cooling device has a vacuum bottle, a pump, an outflow pipe, a thermal exchanger and a return pipe. The vacuum bottle holds a coolant and has an outer casing and a vacuum flask. The outer casing has a chamber. The vacuum flask is mounted in the chamber. The pump is mounted on the vacuum bottle to pump the coolant out of the vacuum bottle. The outflow pipe connects to the pump. The thermal exchanger connects to the outflow pipe, is filled by the coolant and is placed adjacent to a person to lower his body temperature. The return pipe connects between the thermal exchanger and the vacuum bottle to form a flow circle. Consequently, the portable cooling device efficiently cools the body temperature. Moreover, having the vacuum bottle to hold and insulate the coolant elongates effective cooling time of the cooling device.
