1. A treatment apparatus comprising: a bandage having first and second surfaces, the first surface of the bandage corresponding to a treatment area; and an active heater; the heater being disposed against the second surface of the bandage for maintaining a temperature at the treatment area in a normothermic range; and, the heater for being operated by means selected from the group including chemical means, phase-change means, and hot-water means. 2. A tissue treatment apparatus, comprising: a heater; a structure for supporting the heater against tissue; and chemical means for operating the heater such that the heater maintains a tissue temperature under the structure in a normothermic range. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the structure includes a bandage. 4. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the structure is thermally conductive. 5. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the structure is a thermally conductive bandage. 6. The apparatus of claim 3, 4, or 5, the structure including material selected from the group including hydrogel, hydrocolloid, hydrated alginate, hydrated gauze, and polymeric film. 7. A tissue treatment apparatus, comprising: a heater; a structure for supporting the heater against tissue; and phase-change means for operating the heater such that the heater maintains a tissue temperature under the structure in a normothermic range. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the structure includes a bandage. 9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the structure is thermally conductive. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the structure is a thermally conductive bandage. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, 9, or 10, the structure including material selected from the group including hydrogel, hydrocolloid, hydrated alginate, hydrated gauze, and polymeric film. 12. A tissue treatment apparatus, comprising: a heater; a structure for supporting the heater against tissue; and the heater including means for operating the heater such that the heater maintains a tissue temperature under the structure in a normothermic range; the means for operating being selected from the group including chemical means, phase-change means, and hot-water means. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the structure includes a bandage. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the structure is thermally conductive. 15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the structure is a thermally conductive bandage. 16. The apparatus of claim 13, 14, or 15, the structure including material selected from the group including hydrogel, hydrocolloid, hydrated alginate, hydrated gauze, and polymeric film.
