  • Patent number: 4645498
    Abstract: A compress capable of delivering hot or cold, wet or dry temperature treatment to a person's body. The compress is formed from a pair of rectangularly shaped waterproof panels which are joined together around their peripheries to form a hollow space therebetween. One of said panels has an elongated opening to allow for the introduction of ice, hot water, a wet towel or the like and also carries a closure flap for closing the opening. The other panel has a portion thereof formed of a porous fabric material so that liquid from within the hollow space can seep therethrough. Located within the hollow space is a flexible waterproof bladder which also has an opening adjacent the opening in the panel. If a dry compress is desired, the bladder is expanded to fill the space between the panels and is filled with ice or hot water. If a wet compress is desired, the bladder is rolled or folded out of the way and ice or a hot wet towel is placed directly into the space between the panels.
