Abstract:
A temperature regulating pad has an air-permeable top layer, a perforated middle layer, and a bottom layer. The perforated middle layer is located between the top layer and the bottom layer. The top layer and the perforated middle layer delimit an upper airspace and the perforated middle layer and the bottom layer delimit a lower airspace. Forced air is received into the lower airspace and flows from the lower airspace into the upper airspace through the perforated middle layer, exiting the air-permeable top layer into an external airspace above the top layer. The pad may be placed on an underlying support surface on which a patient rests.

Claim (Index 10):
A temperature regulating pad, comprising:\n an air-permeable polypropylene top layer, a perforated plastic middle layer, and a low friction nylon bottom layer, said perforated middle layer disposed between said top layer and said bottom layer; said top layer and said perforated middle layer delimiting an upper airspace and said perforated middle layer and said bottom layer delimiting a lower airspace; wherein said perforated middle layer comprises a perforated center section reinforced by an impermeable border, wherein said impermeable border comprises a substantial portion of surface area of said middle layer, said impermeable board configured to prevent air from getting trapped at terminal sides of said pad; wherein forced air is received into said lower airspace and flows from said lower airspace into said upper airspace through said perforated middle layer, exiting said air-permeable top layer into an external airspace about said top layer; wherein said air exiting said air-permeable top layer into said external airspace is less turbulent than said air flowing from said lower airspace to said upper airspace; and an oversheet at least partially surrounding said external airspace, said oversheet including an adhesive border configured to secure said oversheet to the sides or bottom of an underlying support surface on which said pad is disposed.
