ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting an extremity of a person includes a body having a recessed support surface for supporting the extremity, and a flap connected to the support surface. The body has a fastener that couples with a coupler on the flap to define a re-closable chamber. An ice bag or other similar heat absorbing apparatus may be secured within the chamber, thereby enabling the apparatus to both support the extremity and provide the anti-inflammatory function of the ice bag. The body, which may be crescent shaped, may include an interior for containing stuffing material. Both the body and the flap may be manufactured from the same fabric material.
