Abstract:
1. A device to be disposed around a body portion of a person for treating pain in said body portion comprising: a wrap having an interior surface for contacting the body portion, and adapted to be disposed around the body portion, said wrap being sufficiently elastic to enable the wrap to be stretched around the body portion to restrict the mobility of the body portion, at least one pad section secured to an interior section of the wrap, each pad section adapted to be loaded with medicament, at least one nodule extending inwardly from the interior surface of the wrap and adapted to contact and exert pressure at a desired specific location on the body portion, wherein each said nodule is a substantially rigid member having a curved contact surface, and means for tightening and adjustably securing the wrap about the body portion, whereby tightening of the wrap causes medicament to exert pressure on and dispense medicament to the area of pain, and to cause the nodule to exert pressure upon the body portion.
