Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention concerns a bandage cooling apparatus which provides a bandage at a different temperature than the body temperature. The use of a compression bandage complemented with cold temperature therapies sometimes represents an effective alternative available to heal various body injuries. Known bandages incorporate or work with systems providing the benefits of the temperature therapy but they are found to be expensive, heavy or cumbersome. The bandage cooling apparatus includes a casing where a gaseous fluid cools a bandage located therein such that the cooled bandage may then be directly positioned on the injured body part.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 20, 2004 and granted January 24, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 20, 2024.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 20, 2026.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
