Abstract: A targeted temperature management (TTM) system for providing a TTM fluid including a thermal pad is disclosed. The pad includes a fluid delivery conduit and a fluid return conduit extending continuously from the pad to the TTM module. Valves may be included in line with fluid delivery and fluid return conduits. The thermal pads include one or more conduit retention devices for binding the fluid conduits together. Methods of using the system are disclosed and include disposing a thermal pad in a storage configuring where the fluid conduits are wound together to form a coil, winding the fluid conduits together to form a coil, binding the windings together with a conduit retention device, and placing the coil underneath a stretchable band of the thermal pad.

Abstract: A targeted temperature management (TTM) system is disclosed that includes a TTM module configured to provide a TTM fluid and a thermal pad configured to facilitate thermal energy transfer between the TTM fluid and a patient. The system further includes a fluid delivery line (FDL) coupled with the TTM module at a proximal end. A hub at the distal end of the FDL includes a delivery hub connector coupled with the delivery conduit connector, a return hub connector couples with the return conduit connector, and a locking mechanism is selectively configurable to alternate between a release configuration and a lock configuration. When the locking mechanism is in the lock configuration, it prevents at least one of separation of the delivery conduit connector from the delivery hub connector or separation of the return conduit connector from the return hub connector.

Abstract: A medical pad for exchanging thermal energy between a targeted temperature management (TTM) fluid and a patient is disclosed. The pad can include a fluid containing layer and a fluid conduit attached therewith via rotatable joint where the joint is configured to facilitate rotation of the fluid conduit with respect to the pad. A method of manufacturing the pad can include coupling a first member of the rotatable joint to a fluid delivery line, coupling the second member to the fluid containing layer, and inserting the first member within an opening of the second member to facilitate a snap-fit retention mechanism between first member and the second member. A method of using the pad can include rotating the fluid delivery line relative to the thermal pad via the rotatable joint when initially applying the pad to the patient or when adjusting an orientation of the pad on the patient.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical pad for exchanging thermal energy between a targeted temperature management (TTM) fluid and a patient. The pad includes a top side and a bottom side, as well as a fluid containing layer disposed between the top side and the bottom side, an insulation layer disposed on the top side, and a thermal conduction layer disposed on the bottom side. The pad can be configured to inhibit irritation of the skin of the patient when the pad is applied to the skin. The pad can also include translucent portions to facilitate visual observance of the skin beneath the pad.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, pads, and methods thereof for targeted temperature management. In an example, a pad for targeted temperature management can include a pad body, a conduit system, one or more inlets, and one or more outlets. The pad body can be of a conformable material configured to conform to a body of a patient on the pad. The conduit system can be disposed in the pad body or an overlayer configured for placement over the pad body. The conduit system can include one or more conduits configured to convey a fluid through the pad body or the overlayer. The one-or-more inlets can be configured for charging the conduit system with the fluid, while the one-or-more outlets can be configured for discharging the fluid from the conduit system. Methods of the systems and pads can include methods of use. In another example, a deformable pad can be configured for receiving a neonatal patient.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, pads, and methods thereof for targeted temperature management. A first pad can include a multilayered pad body and an inflatable cuff around the pad body. The pad body can include a conformable layer, a conduit layer over the conformable layer, and an insulation layer over the conduit layer. The conformable layer can include a conformable material configured to conform around a limb of a patient. The conduit layer can include one or more conduits configured to convey a fluid through the conduit layer. The insulation layer can be configured to insulate the conduit layer from an ambient temperature of an environment around the patient. The inflatable cuff can be configured to press the pad body against the limb of the patient when the inflatable cuff is inflated. Methods of the systems and pads can include methods of use.

Abstract: Flattened fluid conduits for use in heat exchangers and other systems, and associated methods of manufacture and use are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the fluid conduit for use in heat exchangers can be manufactured by inserting two or more inner tubes into a circular or at least partially circular barrier tube and at least partially flattening at least some length of the assembly. The heat exchanger conduit can include one or more void spaces within the barrier tube and adjacent to the inner tubes which serve to contain any leaks in the inner tubes and vent any leaks to the atmosphere.
