Cold Compress for Therapeutic Cooling

摘要

A novel cold compress designed for use as a cooling medium. The cold compress comprises a flexible bag having a plurality of spheres. Each sphere contains a heat transfer fluid. As the bag is cooled or frozen, each sphere and the fluid they contain become cool or frozen. The bag is then placed on a body pail of the patient who is recovering from surgery or injury. The small spheres allow maximum surface contact with the body part. This allows maximum and efficient heat transfer.
