Game FreakZ admires the Mouse Hand Warmer

We're trying to be modest here, but what the heck, why be shy. Game FreakZ featured the Mouse Hand Warmer on their site recently, and we were happy to see the cool comments about our warm invention.
Here's what Game FreakZ had to say about the 'one & only' Mouse Hand Warmer:


"Your looking at the picture thinking well where is it arn't you!? Well it is the thing next to the keyboard that looks like a note pad! The purpose is as it says really to keep your mouse and hand warm! I know how bizarre! Its like your going in for a sneaky snack on the sly or something! Joking aside it works like a warm blanket that is made from a polyester fleece type material, and is good for chilly days and air conditioned offices."

Thanks Game FreakZ..... We're sending some traffic back to 'ya!

Get a Mouse Hand-Warmer Today!

by Nicole Benjamin

There are non-USB and USB mouse hand warmers that can be used either with or without a mouse pad. Its surface is not slippery and can be used as a regular mouse pad surface. Whenever a mouse pad is used, though, it can fit perfectly within the blanket pouch and with four additional USB ports on this heated mouse pad, there is the opportunity to warm several other USB gadgets, as well. Additionally, the heat that the heated mouse pad generates is insulated within the blanket pouch, producing nothing but a very soothing and warm space for your mouse hand to fit into.

The ideal solution for a cold mouse hand, really, is the fusion of three things: a warm mouse, a heated mouse pad, and a mouse hand warmer blanket pouch. If it is your computer keyboard hands that make you cold, they too, will respond quite nicely to warmth. Heated computer keyboard pads are also readily available on the online market, along with various other infrared heated computer gadgets. Simply go on Google and make a quick search. In no time, you will be enjoying a very warm and comfortable computer work space.

Mouse Hand Warmer energy efficient computer gadget uses no electricity

  • Earth Friendly
  • Uses No Electricity
  • No Cords to get Tangled
  • Made in USA

A new computer gadget and a nifty invention. The Mouse Hand Warmer® keeps your mouse hand covered by a warm blanket. Constructed of a warm polyester fleece blanket material with a non-slip surface. Fits standard mouse pads and any size computer mouse. Hand wash and air dry.

Instructions: Slip a standard sized mouse pad inside the Mouse Hand Warmer, or can be used alone without a mouse pad. If using a wireless mouse, the net front provides a clear optical connection. When using an USB connected mouse, slip the cord through a small slit opening made in the center front net. Easy to keep clean by hand washing with a mild detergent and air drying.

Made in the USA. Uses no electricity. No cords to get tangled on your desk!

The Mouse Hand Warmer® is an energy and cost efficient way to keep your mouse hand warm during chilly weather or whenever you feel your mouse hand getting cold. A drafty air-conditioned office makes for an uncomfortable exposed hand if you sit and work all day at the computer. During the winter, a draft or drop in temperature makes your mouse hand cold, too. Sometimes fingers get numb due to the cold air. Keep your mouse hand warm inside a cozy blanket.

The idea for a Mouse Hand Warmer® came about after spending many years working long, late hours sitting at a computer. When your mouse hand gets cold there's really nothing you can do to warm it except stop working or cover it with a warm blanket. That's why the Mouse Hand Warmer was created.

No wires or cords to get tangled on your desk top. The Mouse Hand Warmer is a contemporary, modern, techie-looking desk accessory in neutral colors of gray fleece with black and white trim. The pouch measures about 12" x 12" with a wide front opening to get your hand into and out of the Mouse Hand Warmer with ease.

ValueRays Mouse Hand Warmer, Heated Mouse & Warm Mouse Pad solve Cold Mouse Hand Problems

The dynamic duo needs to take second place now that the three warming devices are in the market. The three mouse hand warmers include a fleece blanket pouch, a heated computer mouse and a warm mouse pad. This trio of warming gadgets creates the ultimate mouse hand environment. No more cold mouse hand. No more cold hands when working at the computer for endless hours.

The Mouse Hand Warmer is a fleece blanket pouch about 12x12 inches. It has a non slip surface and can be used with your favorite heated mouse and warm mouse pad. Slip your warm mouse and warm mouse pad inside the fleece blanket pouch, plug in the USB warming devices and in about 10 minutes you have a very warm, cozy, designer house for your mouse. The heat generated by the USB computer devices is insulated inside the fleece blanket cover. It's like crawling into bed under the covers of a warm electric blanket on a cold winter's night.

Does your mouse hand get cold? Do you suffer from arthritis, poor circulation, Raynaud's, or other ailments that make your hand cramp with cold? Try a warm computer mouse and mouse pad inside a mouse hand warmer pouch to relax musles and relieve cold hand tension. The USB heated devices are made with a carbon fiber. Carbon fibers produce infrared heat. Infrared heat is therapuetic because it penetrates deep through the skin's layers to muscle tissue.

Infrared heat also detoxifies the blood of toxins we pick up in the air and food. The infrared heat rays cleanse the blood stream by breaking down toxins. Infrared heat has been effectively used to rid the body of unwanted, harmful environmental toxins and inhibit bacterial growth from these toxic substances. Infrared heating devices and the healing effects of Infrared Heat Rays are becoming more widespread in the USA. Eastern cultures have been using Infrared Heat Rays healing techniques for centuries.

For more information about the trio of warming devices, visit the manufacturer's websites at http://www.igmproducts.com/ and http://www.valuerays.com/

Mouse based mannequin enhances virtual heart

Mouse Hand Warmer found this article very interesting and wanted to share it with our readers. The mouse is capable of performing all sorts of tricks at the hand of it's owner and author. We specialize in ValueRays® Heated Ergonomic Computer Accessories: Warm Mouse, Mouse Hand Warmer, Heated Mouse Pad and Heated Keyboard Pad. To read more about the ValueRays® products, please visit IGMproducts.com.




Tom Shelley reports on an amazing and potentially life saving application of animated computer graphics for the medical market.

A mannequin based on computer mouse technology now augments a virtual reality heart in the training of medical staff in transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE), an ultrasonic scanning technique that uses a probe pushed down the oesophagus.

The virtual heart project arose from a chance meeting at a dinner party, which led three clinicians – Dr Bruce Martin, Dr Andrew Smith and Dr Sue Wright, all from University College London Hospitals – to contact London based computer graphics company Glassworks to create a virtual heart as a teaching aid. The aid would allow students of TOE to visualise clearly the relationship between 2D TOE images and the underlying 3D anatomy of the heart.

The latest enhancements to the technology were demonstrated and described by Glassworks’ ceo Hector Mcleod at Autodesk’s “3December” event in London. He explained the project came about because it is a ‘rare option’ for cardiac clinicians to learn their skills on live human patients because of concerns about litigation if things go wrong. So there was a real need to find a virtual reality substitute.

The virtual model was based on a scanned in Latex print of the left and right ventricles of a dead human heart. Autodesk Softimage XSI software was used to construct and animate the model, but a lot of the software used has been developed by, and is proprietary to, Glassworks.

McLeod said there were all kinds of problems to overcome. For example, when they started testing the simulated ultrasonic echo images against those produced using real patients, the development team had to ‘go back’ because the initial volume models did not match those of a living heart – the dead heart had partially collapsed.

There were many consultations with medical specialists during the course of the development and three members of the Glassworks team witnessed an open heart operation in order to obtain reference images and to experience of what a real beating heart looks like.

The result is a realistic representation of a beating heart with a time line so different parts of the pumping cycle can be studied. It also offers the ability to investigate the internals using a 3D CAD movable image plane technique. There are, in addition, 130 structures that can be associated with additional information, plus the ability to show how the 3D model matches simulated ultrasonic scans.

The latest enhancement is a full sized model human torso and simulated probe, made by model maker Asylum. In this, a probe can be inserted in the oesophagus and the resulting simulated scans compared with what the ultrasound is interacting with. The interaction is achieved by making the model probe interact with the model torso in a manner McLeod described as a ‘glorified mouse’.

Attendees at the presentation wanted to know whether there were any plans to enhance the model to simulate diseased hearts and other organs. Mcleod replied that various options were being looked at. He said: “The company is always looking for bespoke projects and this was the most major project we have ever done.”

The virtual heart is now the property of spinoff company Heartworks and a number of virtual hearts have been produced for teaching purposes at University College London hospitals. The first overseas order has recently been received from Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Pointers

* Software usually used for modelling in games, entertainment and advertising has been employed in the building of a simulation of a realistic virtual heart simulation for medical training

* An interactive model human torso and ultrasound probe interact with the virtual model using computer mouse technology

Mouse Hand Warmer: Warm Mouse, Heated Mouse Pad Companion

Mouse Hand Warmer Blanket Pouch available on Amazon, eBay, Etsy or IGMproducts.com


For people who have cold hands when using the computer the Mouse Hand Warmer solves the problem. Cold computer hands make it difficult to use the computer mouse and the computer keyboard. And, from time-to-time, with cold hands, a person has to stop working to allow the frigid cold to leave. When poor blood circulation causes hands to become cold there's little to do except stop working, and most of the time that's not a option.

Using the computer with a cold mouse hand causes the fingers to become numb. Some attribute the cold mouse hand to sitting still too long in one position, others believe it's a medical condition causing cold hands. It's important to excercise the hands frequently to keep blood flowing, and for some people exercise is not enough. There are computer gadgets available to provide comfort, support, warmth and heat cost-effectively and energy-efficiently from the computer while you are using the computer.

A Mouse Hand Warmer is a fleece blanket designed to cover the computer mouse hand. It's like a blanket for the mouse hand. The Mouse Hand Warmer is a fleece pouch to hold a warm mouse and heated mouse pad. The Mouse Hand Warmer is available with or without electricity.

The USB Mouse Hand Warmer works like an electric blanket for the hand. Plug the USB cord into an USB port located on the computer and within a few minutes the blanket portion of the Mouse Hand Warmer is warm. The heat generated by the carbon fiber heating element inside the blanket is an infrared heat. Infrared heat penetrates deeply through the skin's layers to the muscle tissue. Infrared heat dialates blood vessels and helps improve blood circulation. To read more about the healing effects of infrared heat, visit http://www.valuerays.com/. The earth-friendly Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch uses no electricity. It is made exactly like the USB model, but without electricity.

Both the USB and non-USB Mouse Hand Warmers can be used with or without a mouse pad. The non-slip surface of the Mouse Hand Warmer's base can function as a mouse pad surface. However, when a mouse pad is used, any standard sized mouse pad fits perfectly inside the Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch. A ValueRays heated mouse pad fits perfectly inside the Mouse Hand Warmer pouch, and the extra four USB ports on the ValueRays heated mouse pad make it ideal to use for other USB warm gadgets. Plus, the heat generated by the heated mouse pad is insulated inside the blanket pouch creating a soothing warm space for the mouse hand.

Using your favorite computer mouse inside the Mouse Hand Warmer is a must! Just about any size computer mouse fits inside the roomy 12" x 12" Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch. A ValueRays warm mouse is the perfect companion to use inside the Mouse Hand Warmer pouch because the heat generated by the warm mouse inside the blanket is insulated creating a perfectly warm mouse hand environment.

The best solution for a cold mouse hand is the combination of the three mouse hand warmer products: Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch, ValueRays warm mouse, and ValueRays heated mouse pad. There's no need to use the computer with a cold mouse hand ever again. These three items create the ultimate designer mouse house: Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch, ValueRays Warm Mouse and ValueRays Heated Mouse Pad.

If cold computer keyboard hands become a problem, cold keyboard hands respond nicely to warmth, too. The ValueRays heated computer keyboard pad is available online with the other infrared heated computer gadgets at http://www.igmproducts.com/.

Arthritis Pain Management, Relief And Treatment

Specialists in providing warmth for arthritis pain.


from Discovery Arthritis

Arthritis is one of the leading causes of disabilities around the world in the elderly. It affects all areas of the body where joints are present causing arthritis foot pain; arthritis hand pain and arthritis back pain. The pain is due to the inflammation of the joints caused by various reasons including hereditary diseases, viral and bacterial diseases and autoimmune diseases.

The general symptoms of arthritis include swelling, redness, heat and pain. Since arthritis causes such great pain and discomfort to the sufferers, various ways of arthritis pain management has been devised.

Evaluating The Pain

Since arthritis affects everyone differently, it is important to be able to describe and evaluate your own pain before setting out to look for methods of arthritis pain management. Some important things to note are the location of the pains (all of them) then be specific as to how to describe the pain such as throbbing, tingling, dull, tight, tender, pinching and stabbing as well as being able to describe the severity of the pain from a scale of 0 to 10.

Next thing to note is when the pain occurs or when it is better or worse. Examples include daytime and night time and the probability of being able to detect the oncoming of pain. Finally, you may note certain activities you have stopped doing or certain activities caused by the pain. These details will help the doctor's understanding of your pain and hence give you a better arthritis pain management strategy.

Medication

In order to soothe the pain various medications may be prescribed and form part of the arthritis pain management plan. In general, these medications can be differentiated into 5 categories: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics for pain, corticosteroids, biological and non-biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Some popular arthritis medication include acetaminophen which can be taken with codeine, morphine sulfate, methotrexate and folic acid, oxycodone and pregabalin.

Exercise And Healthy Living

Apart from medication to assist in your arthritis pain management plan, it is important to exercise the joints, eat a balanced diet and lead a balanced lifestyle. Popular exercised include swimming, yoga, Pilates and cycling. You may also employ methods of relaxation such as massages to ease the pain.

In terms of nutrition, one should try to maintain optimum body weight so many may go on diets. Psychology is also a major factor in arthritis patients' lifestyles many people may get depressed and may concentrate too much on the pain. Instead, you should try join social clubs, do various meditation exercises to help relax and take your mind off the condition, after all there is no use in brooding over the pain.

Mouse Hand Warmer in the news on Start Up Nation

Mouse Hand Warmer on Start Up Nation






As stated on Start Up Nation...


IGMproducts.com specializes in warm computer gadgets for people who suffer with cold hands when they are using the computer. I suffer with cold hands. So, after 15 years of operating an ecommerce business with cold hands, I decided to address the cold mouse hand problem and invented the one & only Mouse Hand Warmer® blanket pouch.



The Mouse Hand Warmer® is made in America, and it's energy efficient. It uses no electricity and is made of a warm, soft fleece fabric to cover and keep your computer mouse hand warm. The Mouse Hand Warmer® was introduced to the market in October 2008. Because the Mouse Hand Warmer® was a novel idea, it received much press and support from the Technology Industry.

Here's the link to the Press Page - http://igmproducts.com/info_pages.php/pages_id/6/press

A few months into the startup process we were approached by a writer who suggested I add multi-functionality to the Mouse Hand Warmer® by creating additional warming computer gadgets and making them available on the website. In January 2009, I launched "ValueRays®" heated computer gadgets. The ValueRays® products are currently being manufactured and will be made available online at IGMproducts.com by mid-March. Now, we promote the use of USB heated gadgets to use with the Mouse Hand Warmer® -- a heated computer mouse, a heated mouse pad and a heated keyboard wrist pad.

The heated mouse and heated mouse pad fit nicely inside the Mouse Hand Warmer® blanket, and it creates the perfect mouse hand environment. We call the Mouse Hand Warmer trio a Designer Mouse House!

In addition to selling products, we work closely with different non-profit groups who find our products useful. We fund raise for the American Cancer Society and network within the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). April is Occupational Therapy Month, and we are celebrating with AOTA to make OT known throughout the world.

We also maintain a good relationship with groups whose members suffer with cold hand symptoms: Raynaud's Association, Arthritis Association and Diabetes Association. We give free advertising to these groups and encourage our customers to join their public forums for help and support.

I found Start Up Nation while browsing Google, and I'm completing the application process with the thought of creating a partnership with you, and not necessarily to win a prize. Making the connection with you and becoming a part of your website is recognition enough.

Entering your site's competition near the end of the promotion is OK. We believe the information you are communicating on this site is valuable and helpful.

After many years in business, it's encouraging to know there's a place dedicated to the strong women who work hard to support the economy. My hat goes off to all women who own and operate a business. It's an honor to be a part of this group.

Ways to get those cold computer hands warm

We specialize in healing Infrared Heated Computer Gadgets
ValueRays.com


from Therapy Gloves
Prolotex™ Full Finger Gloves

Millions of people are having to tolerate the discomfort and anguish caused by the frequent reoccurrence of cold hands. If you are one of these people then you need to read the following. It could change your future!

What’s Causing Your Cold Hands?
Even though, common cold hand symptoms can be caused by numerous kinds of health problems, restricted or obstructed blood flow to the hands is the determining factor.

Everything from regular stress to a hyper reactive condition like Raynaud’s Syndrome can be what’s causing your hands to be cold. So you need to take positive step towards improving your circulation right down to the molecular level of your finger tips.

Yes, that’s right! If you improve the micro-circulation in your hands then you can restore and rejuvenate the little tiny blood vessels and capillaries that are disappearing because of lack of blood flow. If you don’t take action to restore circulation then you can loose these minute but important ducts all together.

Of course, there’s lots of steps you can take to improve the vascular condition of your hands. And I’m sure you're aware of most of them; like changing your diet, exercising more and even practicing relaxation techniques. It’s also suggested you avoid caffeine (I’m afraid this is impossible for me) because it constricts blood vessels.

Help Improve Your Micro-circulation
Do you have cold hands? If so, this may be because of poor micro-circulation, especially if you are indoors and there's no reason for them to be cold. Healthy circulation at the molecular level is important in allowing maximum blood flow to reach your hands.

Prolotex™ far infrared therapy gloves offer you a safe, natural and cost effective way to help restore oxygen enriched blood flow right down to your finger tips. While you wear these incredibly soothing gloves, gentle far infrared rays penetrate deep within the skin and soft tissues of your hands and fingers. Helping to restore vital micro-circulation and deliver fresh oxygen and nutrients right down to your tiniest capillaries.

Are Your Cold Hands Causing You Major Grief & Embarrassment?
Guess what! You get stressed and your hands get cold. Sound strange? Maybe, but there is a scientific reason for this happening.

Cold hands can be a source of mental anguish as well as physical. In fact, it can become a extremely vicious cycle. Stressful circumstances can cause your hands to go cold. Let me explain…

We live in a stressful world. Everyday, our senses are challenged. Stressful situations stimulate our inherent fight or flight response. Also known as the sympathico-adrenal response, it triggers your sympathetic nervous system. This constant firing of sympathetics can predispose the body's muscles into a continuous state of contraction or increased tension. As the blood is shunted from the hands there is a reduced amount of nutrients and oxygen available to feed and rejuvenate the soft tissues in your hands. No wonder soreness develops!

So to help warm the hands, help prevent injury - wear Prolotex™ far infrared gloves as often as you like. The far infrared rays emitted and reflected from these nanotech gloves will help relieve the pain and regenerate the circulation in the restricted areas of your hands.

Cold Hands Restrict Circulation
Cold hands occur fast when blood vessels are constricted or obstructed. This is often due to increased connective tissue tension around the blood vessels, which restricts the passage of blood.

Poor circulation in the hands can be the result of many different occupations and ailments.

Here are just a few:

Coronary heart disease
Raynaud's disease
Fibromyalgia
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Frostbite
White finger
Repetitive stress syndrome
A side-effect of taking certain medication
Toxins
Stress

Cold hands need warmth for Raynaud's Syndrome

Raynaud's causes cold hands and extremeties. Blood vessels constrict and poor circulation becomes painful. Infrared heat is soothing. We specialize in Heated Computer Gadgets. They're not just for the winter!


Ayurvedic Medicine and Naturopathy for Raynaud's Syndrome
by FRANCIS ADAM

Stimulate your circulation. Raynaud's is often anxiety-related, explains Efrem Korngold, O.M.D., L.Ac. "Anxiety leads to constriction in the body, including constriction of the blood vessels in the hands and feet."

To treat Raynaud's, Dr. Korngold often prescribes the herbs pseudoginseng root and sage root, and borneol crystals.

Apply pressure to relieve pain. In a study conducted in Germany, acupuncture helped 33 people with severe Raynaud's who received seven acupuncture treatments just as winter arrived.

If you prefer a self-care approach, try acupressure. Apply steady, penetrating finger pressure to each of the following points for 3 minutes.

Pericardium 6, located in the middle of your inner wrist, 2 1/2 finger-widths above the wrist crease (according to Dr. Korngold, this point is especially effective for Raynaud's that affects the hands)

Liver 3, situated on top of your foot in the webbing between your big toe and second toe (this point is beneficial for Raynaud's that affects the feet, Dr. Korngold says)

Ayurvedic Medicine

Rebalance your Vata. Practitioners of Ayurveda believe that Raynaud's is a Vata disorder, says Scott Gerson, M.D., founder of Ayurvedic Medicine of New York. The Vata dosha governs your circulatory system and regulates the constriction and dilation of your blood vessels.

To treat Raynaud's, Dr. Gerson prescribes a daily regimen of walking, hot baths, meditation, and whole-body massages with warm sesame oil (panchakarma). He also advocates a diet that emphasizes certain foods, such as cherries.

Naturopathy

Turn up the heat. Sitting in a sauna or a tolerably hot bath can help ease your Raynaud's symptoms by increasing your blood circulation, Dr. Mitchell says. While you're in the sauna or bath, massage your hands for a few minutes as an additional way to help promote blood circulation.

Medical Measures

If your Raynaud's causes such intolerable pain that you consult a doctor, you may receive a prescription for drugs called vasodilators, which can open your blood vessels. About two-thirds of people with Raynaud's who take vasodilators report improvement in their symptoms. Like most pharmaceuticals, however, vasodilators may produce side effects.

Red Flags

Many common medications, including over-the-counter decongestants, can constrict your blood vessels. So if you're taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it could aggravate your Raynaud's symptoms. If so, ask your doctor whether you could take a different drug that doesn't have this effect.
