ABSTRACT:
A stretchable textile heat-exchange jacket which wraps about and conforms to a limb, an arm or other body member and functions therapeutically to heat or cool the member. The jacket is formed by a sheet of elastic fabric material having threaded therein an array of flexible plastic pipes whose respective ends are coupled to an inlet fluid distributor and an outlet fluid collector. The sheet is provided at its opposing sides with complementary fabric fastener components to releasably hold the jacket securely in place on the body member even when the member is flexed. Fluid at a controlled temperature from a pressurized fluid source is fed into the inlet distributor, the fluid from the outlet collector being returned to the source for recirculation through the pipes.
