  • Patent number: 5111810
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a therapeutic thermal wrap kit to be used for treatment of body discomfort, such as muscle and/or ligament stress (e.g., tennis elbow, tendonitis of the knee, chronic sore shoulder, etc.). The therapeutic thermal wrap kit comprises a thermal compress, a holder for the compress, a container around which the holder containing the thermal compress is wrapped, and an insulated bag in which the assembled components are placed and transported. The container may contain a substance, liquid at 25.degree. C. which, along with the thermal compress, can be thermally adjusted to a temperature of from -20.degree. to 120.degree. C. The kit remains at a therapeutically effective temperature for at least 10 hours due to the synergy of the four elements in combination. When needed, the holder containing the compress and the container are removed from the insulated bag, the container is then separted from the holder, and the compress is applied to the affected body part using the holder.
