Patent ID: 7959592

Claim:
A tubular compressive heating and cooling device configured to enable application of compressive force to an appendage while simultaneously aerating said appendage, said material comprising: a flexible tubular element comprising an inner surface configured to contact a treatment area of a subject, wherein said flexible tubular element comprises an elastomer based substance comprising a heat capacity configured to retain alterations in temperature and to effectuate a change in temperature to said treatment area; a plurality of perforations protruding through said flexible tubular element wherein said plurality of perforations is configured to allow airflow from said treatment area through said flexible tubular element to aerate said treatment area; and inserts into said flexible tubular element to enable a subject wearing said flexible tubular element to change the shape of said flexible tubular element, wherein said plurality of perforations increases an elasticity of said flexible tubular element, and wherein said plurality of perforations increases a traction of said inner surface against said treatment area.
