Abstract

See full text

A therapeutic elastic sleeve (12) is provided which can be affixed securely to a patient's limb. The sleeve (12) is formed from a wide sheet (18) of elastic material that is fixedly attached to the sides of an ice pack or other appropriate heat or coolant container (16). The elastic portion (18) of the sleeve can be stretched to allow the sleeve (12) to slip over the patient's limb and align the container (16) with the area to be treated. The elasticity of the sleeve (12) causes it to conform to the shape of the limb, which provides structural support to the limb and also prevents the sleeve from riding up, riding down, or telescoping on the limb.
