ABSTRACT:
An icing system is disclosed that has an insulating layer of wetsuit rubber, with a nylon pouch sewn onto it. The nylon pouch is divided, depending on configuration, into two or three compartments by hook and loop fasteners that are used in strips to both close the flap of the pouch and divide it into the compartments as desired. The compartments are designed to hold standard sizes of resealable sandwich and freezer bags half filled with ice. The multiple compartments allow varying amounts of ice to be put around different areas of the same body part, make it flexible, and permit a maximum of mobility on the part of the user. The wetsuit rubber that is used as an outer insulator allows this icing system to use ice with maximum efficiency, and yet makes the system flexible, light weight, non-leaking and non-irritating, permitting maximum mobility on the part of the user. Flanges of the wetsuit rubber material contact the wearer and prevent warm air in the environment from lowering the efficiency of ice utilization.
