Multipurpose wrap

Back wrap with thermal cells and adhesive tabs

The thermal body wraps of the present invention comprise a unified laminate structure having at least one continuous layer of a flexible material having a substantially rectangular, dog bone-like shape and having a first side, a second side, a first end, a second end, a plurality of heat cells, and means for releasably attaching the thermal body wrap to a user's body. Preferably the heat cells are placed into positions fixed within or to the unified structure of the thermal body wraps, relative to each other and sufficiently close to provide controlled, sustained, and uniform heat to the body or body part of the user.

Disposable thermal body wrap

An inner receptacle is provided which is adapted to be used with a resilient squeeze bottle. The inner receptacle includes a flexible bag and includes a mechanism for causing the flexible bag to invert upon itself about its midpoint without requiring attachment of the inner receptacle to the squeeze bottle. The inversion enables substantially all of the product within the receptacle to be dispensed. One preferred mechanism for causing inversion is a support frame which resembles a bird cage. This support frame may be located inside or outside the top half of the flexible bag. Such inner receptacles offer special advantages when utilized with reusable squeeze bottles. The reusable squeeze bottles may be oval and include an opening at the top which accommodates the dispensing opening of the inner receptacle and an opening at the bottom end through which the entire inner receptacle may pass. An end plate is utilized to seal the bottom end of the squeeze bottle. One preferred squeeze bottle includes an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve which enables replacement of the inner receptacle while manipulating only one closure element.
