Abstract

A temperature therapy garment applies localized hot or cold temperature therapy to a region of a person's body. The garment includes a main body portion that is formed from a generally breathable, elasticized fabric and encircles and form-fits the torso of the patient body. At least a pair of openings are included to accommodate at least a pair of patient limbs (i.e., legs, or arms, or both). At least one pocket is positioned on an outer face of the garment in alignment with the region of the person's body to receive temperature therapy. A hot or cold temperature therapy pouch fits within the at least one pocket to be held against the person's body. The region of the patient body with which the at least one pocket is aligned may correspond to a region that is subjected to a medical procedure, such as a cosmetic surgical procedure.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A temperature therapy garment for applying localized temperature therapy to a region of a patient body, comprising: 
 a main body portion that is formed from a generally breathable, elasticized fabric and encircles and form-fits the torso of the patient body, at least a pair of openings being included to accommodate at least a pair of patient limbs;    at least one pocket that is positioned on an outer face of the garment in alignment with the region of the patient body to receive temperature therapy; and    a temperature therapy pouch that fits within the at least one pocket.    
   
   
       2 . The temperature therapy garment of  claim 1  further comprising a closure for the at least one pocket to secure the temperature therapy pouch within the pocket.  
   
   
       3 . The temperature therapy garment of  claim 1  further comprising a closable opening to facilitate doning and removal of the garment.  
   
   
       4 . The temperature therapy garment of  claim 1  in which the region of the patient body with which the at least one pocket is aligned corresponds to a region that is subjected to a medical procedure.  
   
   
       5 . The temperature therapy garment of  claim 1  in which the region of the patient body with which the at least one pocket is aligned corresponds to a region that is subjected to a cosmetic surgical procedure.  
   
   
       6 . The temperature therapy garment of  claim 1  in which the temperature therapy pouch may be selective heated or cooled according to whether the localized temperature therapy entails application of heat or cooling to the region of the patient body.  
   
   
       7 . A temperature therapy garment for applying localized temperature therapy to a region of a patient body, comprising: 
 a main body portion that is formed from a generally breathable, elasticized fabric and encircles and form-fits the torso of the patient body, at least a pair of openings being included to accommodate at least a pair of patient limbs;    plural pockets that are positioned on an outer face of the garment, each pocket being in alignment with a region of the patient body to receive temperature therapy in connection with care following a selected medical procedure; and    a temperature therapy pouch that fits within the at least one of the plural pocket.    
   
   
       8 . The temperature therapy garment of  claim 7  further comprising a closure for each of the plural pockets to secure the temperature therapy pouch therein.  
   
   
       9 . A temperature therapy garment for applying localized temperature therapy to a region of a patient body, comprising: 
 a main body portion that is formed from a generally breathable, elasticized fabric and encircles and form-fits the torso of the patient body, at least a pair of openings being included to accommodate at least a pair of patient limbs;    at least one pocket that is positioned on an outer face of the garment in alignment with the region of the patient body to receive temperature therapy;    a closure with a fastener for the at least one pocket to secure the temperature therapy pouch within the pocket; and    a temperature therapy pouch that may be heated or cooled and that fits within the at least one pocket.
