Abstract: A non-ambulatory thermotherapy device for contacting and applying hot or cold therapy to a treatment area of a user of the non-ambulatory thermotherapy device. The device has at least one pad made of a pliable single piece of gel material for contacting a part of the user's treatment area and for undergoing selective heating or cooling to specific temperatures to selectively apply hot or cold therapy, respectively, to the part of the user's treatment area. The pad has opposite main surfaces and a plurality of bumps extending from one of the main surfaces for increasing a surface contact between the gel material and irregularly shaped contours of the part of the user's treatment area during application of hot or cold therapy to the part of the user's treatment area.

Abstract: A therapeutic device and boot designed to provide hot or cold therapy to the foot of a patient. The boot has a sole, said sole has a top and bottom surfaces, said top surface has placed on it a plurality of thermal bumps. The thermal bumps have an elongated shape and are filled with a thermal substance, which is capable of maintaining a heated or cooled state. Once the thermal device or the boot are initially heated or cooled, the foot is placed therein. When the thermal bumps contact the foot, heating or cooling of the contacted area is accomplished, and will continue for a prolonged period of time.

Abstract: A therapeutic boot, for providing hot or cold therapy to the foot of a patient. The boot has a sole and an upper portion, whereupon a plurality of protuberances are located. The protuberances are made of or filled with a thermal substance which is capable of maintaining a heated or cooled state. Once the boot is initially heated or cooled, the foot is placed therein. When the protuberances contact the foot, heating or cooling of the contacted area is effected, and will continue for a prolonged period of time.
