ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic device includes a first flexible layer having a plurality of interconnected raised chambers and passageways. The upper surface of a second flexible layer is positioned oppositely of the lower surface of the first flexible layer. The periphery of the overlying layers is heat sealed to form a plurality of chambers spaced from each other and connected by the passageways. A thermal responsive medium is introduced through the passageways into the chambers. Initially the chambers are not completely filled. Thereafter the overlying layers are further heat sealed to remove the passageways between the chambers. Consequently, the liquid that was present in the passageways is evacuated into the chambers, filling the chambers which are individually sealed from one another. For heat treatment application a third flexible layer is sealingly engaged to the lower surface of the second flexible layer and is wetted with an aqueous solution. The heated therapeutic device is then applied to the desired body portion with the cells of the flexible insulating member positioned against the body portion to be treated. The flexible nature of the therapeutic device permits the device to be compressively held in close conformity to the body portion to enhance the rate of transfer of hot or cold temperature to the effected body portion.
