Abstract:
1. A wrap configured as a sleeve that is selectively variable in peripheral size for applying a thermal pad to a variably selected body portion, comprising: an elongated flexible strip of elastic material having elasticity in the direction of elongation, having first and second end portions joined together such that the strip is configured as a sleeve having an inner face and an outer face, and having a mid-portion between said first and second end portions of said strip; a sheet of flexible and elastic material secured to a face of said strip at said mid-portion thereof and forming at least one pocket having at least one opening such that said pocket is adapted to receive a prepackaged thermal pad therein through said at least one opening; an attachment element joined to said sleeve and extending from the outer face of the sleeve in a position enabling the sleeve to be selectively varied in peripheral size by commonly drawing the attachment element and a drawn portion of the sleeve around a remaining portion of the sleeve; and a fastening means extending along the entire surface of said elongated flexible strip of elastic material, sufficiently engageable with said attachment element to secure the drawn portion of the sleeve to any surface portion of the sleeve in drawn position, in a wrapped configuration around a selected body portion.
