Abstract
A thermal pack has mirror imaged upper and lower sections which are integrally joined by a reduced central section with both the upper and lower sections adapted to be secured about a corresponding limb of a user with the reduced area central portion serving as a hinge to surround the joint of the user when accommodating the thermal pack. The thermal pack is further characterized in that the entire major surface of the thermal pack is manifested by a plurality of compartments giving the thermal pack a quilted-like appearance. Each of the compartments may communicate with one another via formed passageways within the compartments containing a chemical fluid substance which is adapted to release or absorb heat when subjected to activation.
