Abstract
A therapeutic cold pack comprises a sleeve member adapted to accommodate a portion of the leg of an individual. Attached to a surface of the therapeutic cold pack are one or more containment bags each defining an internal volume adapted to hold a therapeutic amount of a cold substance. Each containment bag is positioned to substantially coincide with an intended part of the leg of an individual such that the cold substance provides a therapeutic cooling to that area.

A therapeutic cold pack, comprising:
- a sleeve member composed of a thin plastic material, said sleeve member including a first end and a second end, and said sleeve member defining an internal volume adapted to accommodate and cover at least a portion of a lower leg of an individual and a foot of the individual;
- an opening defined by said first end of the sleeve member;
- and
- one or more containment bags that completely surround the lower leg of the individual, each said containment bag composed of a thin plastic material, each said containment bag defining an internal volume holding a therapeutic amount of ice, and each said containment bag being secured to an exterior surface of the sleeve member by sealing selected edges of each said containment bag to the exterior surface of said sleeve member, such that the ice surrounds and provides therapeutic cooling to the lower leg and the foot of the individual, while preventing the ice from directly contacting the leg or the foot of the individual, and while also preventing the ice from going under the foot of the individual.

A therapeutic cold pack, comprising:
- a sleeve member composed of a thin plastic material, said sleeve member including a first end and a second end, and said sleeve member defining an internal volume adapted to accommodate and cover a portion of a leg of an individual, including a foot, from the toes to about mid-calf;
- an opening defined by said first end of the sleeve member;
- and
- one or more containment bags that completely surround the portion of the leg of the individual, each said containment bag composed of a thin plastic material, each said containment bag defining an internal volume holding a therapeutic amount of ice, and each said containment bag being secured to an exterior surface of the sleeve member by sealing selected edges of each said containment bag to the exterior surface of said sleeve member and positioned to substantially coincide with the calf, ankle, and foot of the individual, such that the ice surrounds and provides therapeutic cooling to the calf, ankle, foot, and toes of the individual, while preventing the ice from directly contacting the calf, ankle, foot, or toes of the individual, and while also preventing the ice from going under the foot of the individual.
