    Patent number: 5956968
    Abstract: A portable cold pack for cold storage and transporting of medicinal vials placed on a holder. The cold pack has a hollow, thin-walled housing and a base having a socket depression therein for receiving the holder. The housing and the base define an interior storage space around the holder. The hollow walls of the housing contain therein refreezable liquid for providing cooling energy. The socket depression orients the holder in the storage space in a close relationship to the interior surface of the hollow, thin-walled housing so as to efficiently cool the medicine within the vials. A closure assembly allows repeated access to the holder within the storage space.
