Abstract: A heat/cold therapy wrap for the shoulder envelops the shoulder, over the clavicle and down over a portion of the upper arm. Compression against the shoulder is adjustable via a torso strap and a separate compression strap. A pair of pockets receive thermal gel material, preferably a non-migrating gel which will easily form to the contours of the shoulder and will remain as an integral plastic mass, not migrating within the enveloping bag under pressure. The ergonomically designed shoulder wrap is light in weight and engages the shoulder in a way that allows range of motion exercises in which heat/ice therapy combined with motion are useful to treat frozen shoulder syndromes or adhesive capsulitis. In one embodiment of the wrap an arm cuff is provided at the lower end of the device to encircle the upper arm. Another embodiment has no permanent arm cuff but has a versatile compression strap.

Abstract: A therapeutic wrapping device for a limb, particular the ankle includes a wrapping member cut and sewn from an elastic fabric and defining a central strip portion with an opening for engaging over the heel and two wing portions for wrapping over the top of the ankle. Three separate bags are provided each containing a thermal gel material and each having a hook and loop fastener strip for engaging a cooperating strip on an inside of the wrapping member. The strips on the wrapping member are arranged so that two are at the top of the device spaced either side of a center line and the third is below the opening and arranged across the center line. The bags are placed over the strips so that two are arranged each on a respective side of the Achilles tendon and the third lies under the foot.
