Abstract
The present invention provides a body temperature control device capable of efficiently controlling body temperature, and a temperature controller using this device. The body temperature control device of the present invention is brought into contact with a patient. Then, a fluid used for temperature control is fed into the inside of a hollow fiber by a body temperature controller. A heat transfer medium passing through the hollow fiber, performs heat exchange with a particular part of the body of the patient, to control the temperature of that part of the patient's body. The body temperature control device using the hollow tube can be made highly flexible, which means that it is possible have a wide contact area with the body, which improves the efficiency of heat exchange.
