  • Patent number: 5020711
    Abstract: A holder for reusable hot/cold packs used topically for the thermo treatment of muscle injuries, aches, inflammations and the like. Each holder is capable of accepting and retaining a corresponding thermo pack. The holder/thermo pack may be used singularly or combined with one or more like holder/thermo packs using a number of corresponding hook and loop strips for treating larger injury areas. One or more elastic bands, affixed at one end to the holder, wrap around the portion of the body being treated, and attach again to the holder by means of a hook and loop fastener system. If the attached elastic bands are not of sufficient length to completely wrap around the treatment area, additional elastic bands of greater length, with hook and loop fasteners on each end, are used and attached to either the holder or an elastic band.
