Abstract
A thermal pack for applying thermal therapy to a human body part includes a flexible body that defines a cavity holding a thermal medium. A skeletal structure supports the flexible body. The skeletal structure is malleable such that it can be deformed around and held adjacent the human body part. The skeletal structure may be disposed within the cavity of the flexible body without being attached thereto and/or secured to an interior surface (and/or exterior surface) of the flexible body. The skeletal structure preferably includes a plurality of elongate leg portions that are wrapped around the human body part to hold the flexible body in place adjacent the treatment area during use. The thermal pack can be adapted for use with other mammalians.
