Abstract: A temperature pack for therapeutic use comprises a sealed envelope of flexible sheet plastic material and a thickened aqueous composition contained within the envelope. At least one major surface of the envelope is embossed with a plurality of small blisters, which substantially increases the ability of the bag to conform to body contours. The sheet plastic material is preferably metallized to reduce undesired heat transfer.
Abstract: A pillow adapted for use by nursing mothers comprises a pair of arms forming an L shape. One of the arms is wider than the other, and preferably is less densely filled, so as to form an infant support surface, the other arm functioning as a cushion support for the mother. The free end of the arms may be secured in proximity whereby the pillow assumes a generally rectangular shape, for use as a normal bed pillow.
