Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) combines cold, heat contrast, and compression therapy. Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) is intended to treat post-surgical and acute injuries to reduce edema, swelling, and pain for which cold and compression are indicated. It is intended to treat post traumatic and post-surgical medical and/or surqical conditions for which localized thermal therapy (hot or cold) are indicated. The Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) is also intended for treatment of disorders associated with vascular or lymphatic insufficiency, such as lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
Therm-X Home systems also provide DVT therapy. Therm-X Home systems with DVT therapy are intended to reduce the risk of the formation of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) by aiding blood flow back to the heart via lower extremity limb compression.
Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) is intended to be used by, or on the order of, licensed health care professionals in rehabilitation facilities, outpatient clinics, athletic training settings, and home settings.
Therm-X is an AC powered, software-controlled multimodality device, designed to be used in a clinical or home-use setting, and under the direction, prescription, or supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. The device is available in two configurations: Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT.
Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) features iceless cold therapy, heat therapy, and contrast (alternating heat and cold) therapy. The Therm-X Home system also provides DVT prophylaxis therapy and continuous therapy for users who wish to receive treatment over an extended period of time.
Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) consists of various reusable inflatable wraps for thermal treatment of the back, elbow, hand/wrist, shoulder, ankle, hip, lower leg, or knee and DVT prophylactic treatment applied to the foot or calf. Multi-patient use garments are available for all anatomical areas that can be cleaned and disinfected in between uses to be reused for different patients. Single-patient use garments are available for thermal treatment of the back, hand/wrist, shoulder, neck, ankle, hip, and knee and can be disposed of after patient treatment is concluded. The thermal garments are flexible coolant circulating garments that apply to the body to deliver cold, heat, or contrast therapy in combination with or without pneumatic compression. The foot and calf DVT prophylactic garments apply pneumatic compression alone and are intended for use by the Therm-X Home system only.
Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) is controlled by an intuitive touch screen computer interface, allowing the user to manage the therapy modalities as well as easily adjust and monitor treatment times, temperature, and compression settings. Therm-X AT and Therm-X Home models provide an optional password protection feature that allows for a user to use only stored cycles, giving health care providers an ability to ensure compliance to a chosen cycle. The device also provides functionality to allow the health care provider to assign a date at which the user will be able to access a second stored cycle instead of the first. The Therm-X device also allows users to chanqe treatment pressure and temperatures to less extreme therapies (e.g. changing a warm cycle to a lower warm temperature or changing a cold cycle to a higher cold temperature).
Therm-X (Therm-X Home and Therm-X AT) is approximately 15 lbs. when filled with coolant and has a handle placed on the top of the device. It has a centralized coolant reservoir accessible through a cap located at the back of the device that supplies its coolant and radiator systems. The reservoir, pumps, fans, circuit board, and other components of the Therm-X are located inside a covered enclosure made out of plastic and metal components, accessible only using a specialized tool.
