ABSTRACT:
A thermal pack unit or compress is formed by adhesively securing two relatively thin pieces together. The first piece is a plastic sheet having one or more interconnecting channels or grooves formed in a surface thereof to form a path for the circulation of the thermal fluid. The second piece is a relatively thin sheet of non-resilient bendable metal which is secured over the channeled surface of the plastic sheet for sealing the top portion thereof so the fluid inputted at one end of the channeled space is able to flow or circulate therethrough and then be outputted from an outlet in the channeled space. The metal sheet is bendable so that the pack unit can be readily conformed to a given contour of the human body such as the irregular areas about the eyes, nose and ears of a person and the characteristics of the metal insure that the contoured shape will be retained to aid in keeping the pack unit positioned while in use.
