ABSTRACT:
A flexible pouch for containing a heat transfer pack for the application of thermal therapy to a predetermined portion of a person's body. The pouch is formed of a single piece of woven cotton or wool of generally rectangular configuration and folded to form at least two layers of material forming a front part of the pouch and at least one layer forming the rear part of the pouch and defining a pocket therebetween. Opposed side edges of the front and rear parts are sewn together to define the pocket and a flap closure is formed by an integral extension of the rear part. Hook and loop fastener strips may be secured to the outer surface of the front part and along a distal edge of the closure for closing the pocket to contain the heat transfer pack. Opposed elongated straps are attached to the lateral side edges of the pouch and include suitable adjustable connectors at each end for securing the pouch to the wearer's body in selected positions thereon. The pouch is lightweight, flexible and may be easily worn in a flat or rolled condition by a person without restricting physical activity or interfering with the wearing of outer garments, in particular.
