Abstract
There is disclosed herein a therapeutic thermal cuff device for therapeutic heating or cooling treatment of the body members of humans or animals. The device comprises an envelope having interior and exterior panels defining one or more pouches adapted to receive therein packets of a heat of fusion composition. The exterior panel of the envelope comprises a thermally insulative polymer foam layer and that portion of the exterior panel overlying the pouches is quilted in a manner designed to improve the flexibility of the envelope in the direction of wrap of the cuff around the body member. The heat of fusion composition is contained in a heat sealed thermoplastic film container which is also quilted in a manner such as to segment the packet into a number of heat of fusion composition-containing chambers which are articulatingly affixed to one another so as to assure flexibility of the packet in the direction of the wrap of the cuff around the affected body member. The cuff and packets are reusable and the therapeutic thermal treatments provided thereby are of relatively long duration without repeated intervention or replacement of materials.
