  • Publication number: 20080148769
    Abstract: A therapeutic device that applies cooling to areas of the forehead and the eyes of a patient in traumatized areas. The device consists of sleeve made of natural fabric that lies gently to the skin. The sleeve is compartmentalized to hold from one to four gel packs depending on a users need. The gel packs are composed of a non toxic substance that will remain unfrozen and malleable even when cooled to temperatures at which water filled packs would freeze solid. The individual packs readily conform to facial features due to the material used and thereby contributing to the improved comfort of the user. The gel packs can be heated for use by submerging them in hot water for use over sinus areas of the face. For facial use comfort can be had by allowing the user to be in a semi-inclined position rather than prone, without any restriction or pressure of a band going around the head of the user to cause undue compression to an already traumatized tissue.
