Claim:
A bandage configured to enable the application of compressive force to a region of a human being under treatment while simultaneously aerating and cooling or heating said region of treatment, said bandage comprising: a flexible elastic planar element formed from an elastomer based substance configured to apply compressive force; said elastomer based substance comprising thermal capacity that allows for hot or cold treatment of said region of treatment; a plurality of perforations protruding through said flexible planar element where each of said plurality of perforations is for purposes of aerating said region under treatment and increasing said flexible planar element's ability to grip said region of said human being that is undergoing treatment; and, at least one extrusion protruding from at least one portion of said flexible planar element where said at least one extrusion is adapted to secure said bandage over a treatment area of a user by fining into at least one of said plurality of perforations.
