Abstract

A therapy system for treating a desired region of the body includes a fluid reservoir heat transfer pad and first and second fluid circulation lines. The heat transfer pad includes a first pad port, a bladder and a second pad port. The first fluid circulation line is connectable to the first pad port for withdrawing heat transfer fluid from the fluid reservoir and delivering it to the heat transfer pad. The second fluid circulation line is connectable to the second pad port for withdrawing heat transfer fluid from the heat transfer pad and delivering it to the fluid reservoir. The heat transfer pad additionally includes a pad flowpath adjustment member positioned in the pad flowpath to adjust the system resistance to flow. The adjusted system resistance to flow fixes the desired treatment temperature of the heat transfer pad in response to the heat transfer fluid circulating through the pad flowpath.
