ABSTRACT:
A flexible heat exchanger is suitable for heating or cooling living subjects. The heat exchanger has a a volume having at least one inlet for receiving a heat exchange fluid and at least one outlet. A flexible heat exchange plate that isessentially impermeable to the heat exchange fluid is penetrated by substantially rigid thermally conductive members. The members provide paths of high thermal conductivity through the plate. The heat exchange fluid may be water.
