Abstract

A portable medicine protector for maintaining the temperature of medicine stored therein from rising above a threshold temperature and for preventing the temperature of medicine stored therein from falling below a second threshold temperature. The present invention consists of hollow walled container which has a cavity formed therein. The container is filled with a suitable liquid, (e.g. water, BLUE ICE, etc.) which may be frozen in an ordinary household freezer environment. A depression or cavity is formed in the container for receiving medicine, such as bottles of liquid medicine. The bottom and sides of the cavity include a plurality of ribbed members to prevent direct contact between a medicine bottle and the side walls of the container. By preventing point contact of the medicine with the side walls of the container, freezing of the medicine is inhibited and in most cases prevented. An outer casing consists of a sleeve of insulating material which in the preferred embodiment is pliable foam. The container is inserted into the case, with the case providing additional temperature protection and protection from shock and other trauma. Pockets or other storage areas may be included on the outside of the case for storing accessories such as syringes, alcohol wipes, swabs, etc.
