Abstract: An apparatus, a system, and a method for thermally comforting a patient include pneumatic, convective device providing thermal treatment for persons or animals, which is adapted for use in combination with a clinical garment such as a hospital gown, robe, bib, and other equivalents. The pneumatic convective device provides convective warming focused or directed primarily on the thorax or body core. The pneumatic convective device includes at least one inlet for being accessed through a clinical garment, a region in distribution with the inlet for distributing a stream of pressurized, thermally treated air, and a permeable member for emitting pressurized, thermally treated air from the distribution region.

Abstract: An inflatable convective pad for warming a person during surgery has two ends, two sides, and at least two openings, each located in an area of the pad between the two ends and between a respective side and the center of the pad. The openings, which may be in the form of slits, allow the threading of a sheet or the person's arms through the pad to restrain the arms during surgery.

Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a tubular convective device, comprising: a blown film forming a tube when inflated, the blown film having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion and the second portion are separated longitudinally, and a plurality of apertures disposed on the first portion of the blown film. At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a tubular convective system including a plurality of tubular convective devices, where adjacent tubular convective devices are connected.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system for providing targeted, temperature regulated therapy to a user. The system includes a convective unit and a forced air controller, with the convective unit including a sleeve for securing to a desired portion of the user's anatomy. The convective unit is fluidly coupled to the forced air controller, which is operable to transport a thermally conditioned air stream to an inflatable chamber in the sleeve. The convective unit receives the air stream, inflates, distributes the typically warmed, pressurized air within the inflatable chamber, and emits the air through one or more air permeable surfaces for convective transfer of heat to the body of the wearer enveloped by the sleeve.

Abstract: A warming device includes a clinical garment with at least one convective apparatus supported on the inside of the garment. Slits are provided in the clinical garment which enables a patient to insert his or her hands inside the clinical garment to be warmed therein by operation of the convective apparatus.

Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a tubular convective system including an inflatable tubular convective device and a fixation element. The inflatable tubular convective device includes a tubular structure. In some cases, the fixation element includes a first ring, where the first ring is configured to secure a first part of the tubular convective device. In some cases, the fixation element includes a flat element and a flexible element attached to the flat element proximate to a first end of the flexible element, where the flexible element is configured to secure a first part of the tubular convective device.

Abstract: The present invention creates a futures exchange trading futures and futures options spread products. More specifically, the present invention will create a futures exchange that will list a variety of futures and futures options (intra and inter market) spread instruments. These unique spreads will be created from ongoing price discovery generated at global exchanges but then converted into a tradable single currency product at the new exchange. The product will be cash settled and deliverable in the traded currency.
