Lumbar pad

A temperature pack for therapeutic use comprises a sealed envelope of flexible sheet plastic material and a thickened aqueous composition contained within the envelope. At least one major surface of the envelope is embossed with a plurality of small blisters, which substantially increases the ability of the bag to conform to body contours. The sheet plastic material is preferably metallized to reduce undesired heat transfer.

Therapeutic temperature pack

A pillow adapted for use by nursing mothers comprises a pair of arms forming an L shape. One of the arms is wider than the other, and preferably is less densely filled, so as to form an infant support surface, the other arm functioning as a cushion support for the mother. The free end of the arms may be secured in proximity whereby the pillow assumes a generally rectangular shape, for use as a normal bed pillow.

Pillow

Portable seat

An orthopedic seat comprises three portions that are linked together to permit the seat to be folded into a compact package for carrying. The linkage permits the forward portion of the seat to be detached so as to adapt the seat for use with chairs having a small back to front dimension.

A backrest comprising a moulded shell support having in medial longitudinal section a shallow S shape and in lateral section a shallow concave shape. The support is upholstered by a foam layer and a fabric cover stretched between the lateral margins to assist in delocalizing pressures on the back of a user and assist in ventilating the backrest.
