<p>A medical pad (10) includes a thermal exchange layer capable of absorbing and/or releasing heat to a patient, and an adhesive surface (16A) disposed on a skin-contacting side of the thermal exchange layer of adhering the pad (10) to the skin of the patient. The thermal exchange layer may comprise a fluid containing layer (12) for containing a thermal exchange fluid (14) capable of absorbing thermal energy from, and/or releasing thermal energy to the patient. The pad (10) may also include a conformable, thermally conductive insulating layer (16), and an insulating layer (18). Transverse members (24, 26) or dimples (624) on insulating base member (618) may be provided to define tortuous fluid passageways in fluid containing layer (12). A fluid circulating system (40) includes a pump (42), operating under negative pressure, connected downstream from a fluid outlet (22) and a fluid reservoir (44) connected upstream from a fluid inlet (20).</p> |
