ABSTRACT:
A three component temperature pack, such as for use in a therapeutic hot/cold wrap applied to a human or animal, includes an outer casing, a gel contained within the casing, and one or more temperature cells contained within the casing with the gel. The gel provides heating or cooling after being charged by an external heating or cooling source, and yet it remains soft and flexible so that the pack is comfortable to a user. The one or more temperature cells provides heating or cooling to the gel even after the external heating or cooling source is removed, whereby the temperature pack provides prolonged heating or cooling. A method of manufacture provides for sequential controlled combining of three constituents of which a preferred gel is comprised, and it also provides for this in conjunction with filling and sealing the outer casing.
