Health industry medical neoprene latex cooling gel around device

Abstract

The present invention will be used to help reduce/decrease, prevent and avoid swelling/edema to all joints and soft tissue areas of the body, which maybe as a result of surgery, athletic injury, slip and fall or systemic medical disorders. The present invention will have a variety of specific body part supports, which will be provided in different shapes and sizes to address the injury in which the present invention is needed. The present invention will wrap around the body part and is held together by Velcro. The present invention is made of neoprene and will have the capability of being placed in a 32 degree environment to turn the inner latex bag of liquid into a cooling gel.

1 . A product to help reduce/decrease, prevent and avoid swelling/edema to all joints and soft tissue areas of the body by providing cooling functionality to all joints and soft tissue areas, comprising: 
 a neoprene wrap configured to surround an entire joint wherein the neoprene wrap further comprises of an inner bag which incorporates an individual chamber configuration, wherein the chambers contain a liquid that provides the cooling function for treating the entire joint and further wherein the inner bag operates by storing the liquid that cools in a 32° F. environment until the liquid gels for use.    
   
   
       2 . A product according to  claim 1 , wherein each inner bag comprises of two single layers coupled together to define a single cavity wherein the liquid is stored and the area of the inner bag is less than the area of the neoprene wrap.  
   
   
       3 . A product according to  claim 1 , wherein the liquid may gel but will not freeze at 32° F.  
   
   
       4 . A product according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner bag conforms to the particular joints and soft tissue area being treated.  
   
   
       5 . A product according to  claim 1 , wherein the neoprene wrap is secured to the body by securing means.  
   
   
       6 . A product according to  claim 5 , wherein the securing means includes Velcro straps, fasteners, snaps and/or buckles.  
   
   
       7 . A product according to  claim 1 , wherein each chamber further comprises of individual pockets wherein the pockets contain the liquid that provides the cooling function.  
   
   
       8 . A product to help reduce/decrease, prevent and avoid swelling/edema to all joints and soft tissue areas of the body by providing cooling functionality to all joints and soft tissue areas, comprising: 
 a neoprene wrap configured to surround an entire joint that is further adapted with an aperture accommodating the joint wherein the neoprene wrap further comprises of an inner bag that is similarly adapted with an aperture and which incorporates an individual chamber configuration, wherein the chambers contain a liquid that provides the cooling function for treating the entire joint and further wherein the inner bag operates by storing the liquid that cools in a 32° F. environment until the liquid gels for use.    
   
   
       9 . A product according to  claim 8 , wherein each inner bag comprises of two single layers coupled together to define a single cavity wherein the liquid is stored and the area of the inner bag is less than the area of the neoprene wrap.  
   
   
       10 . A product according to  claim 8 , wherein the liquid may gel but will not freeze at 32° F.  
   
   
       11 . A product according to  claim 8 , wherein the inner bag conforms to the particular joints and soft tissue area being treated.  
   
   
       12 . A product according to  claim 8 , wherein the neoprene wrap is secured to the body by securing means.  
   
   
       13 . A product according to  claim 12 , wherein the securing means includes Velcro straps, fasteners, snaps and/or buckles.  
   
   
       13 . A product according to  claim 8 , wherein each chamber further comprises of individual pockets wherein the individual pockets contain the liquid that provides the cooling function.  
   
   
       14 . A product according to  claim 8 , wherein the aperture is adapted to accommodate joints selected from a group consisting of: 
 elbows, knees, ankles and wrists.    
   
   
       15 . A product to help reduce/decrease, prevent and avoid swelling/edema to all joints and soft tissue areas of the body by providing cooling functionality to all joints and soft tissue areas, comprising: 
 a neoprene wrap forming a strap and a capsule, wherein the capsule is connected to a strap along a single edge so that a thumb may be placed into the capsule and the strap wrapped around the user's palm, and a liquid contained in inner bag, wherein the liquid provides the cooling function and the inner bag is stitched into the capsule of the neoprene wrap to cover the thumb and further wherein the inner bag wherein the inner bag operates by storing the liquid that cools in a 32° F. environment until the liquid gels for use.
