Deformable thermal pack

Abstract

Thermal packs including: a pouch containing a thermal source; and a bendable and deformable support attached to or disposed within the pouch, the support configured such that the pouch is deformed into a shape matching a contour of a body part and the pouch is maintained in the shape while applied to the body part by the support, where the support includes members, each of which having a cup at a first end and a ball at a second end, the ball of one of members being rotatably fitted within the cup of an adjacent one of the members; one or more wires encased in a casing or an loop or hook fastener such that a flap, having an other of the hook or loop fastener, extended from the pouch is folded over the support to retain the support adjacent to the pouch.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A thermal pack comprising:
 a pouch containing a thermal source, the pouch having a flap disposed along one or more edges of the pouch, the flap having one of a loop or hook fastener; and   a bendable and deformable support one of attached to or disposed within the pouch, the support being configured such that the pouch is deformed into a shape matching a contour of a body part and the pouch is maintained in the shape while applied to the body part by the support, the support comprising an other of the loop or hook fastener such that the flap is folded over the support to retain the support adjacent to the pouch.
