Abstract
A cold temperature therapy device for use on localized areas of the human body. The device includes a flexible, pliable liquid circulating pad which may be readily conformed to a portion of the human body. The pad is connected to a liquid source via a suitable pumping or liquid moving device which supplies liquid to the pad. The liquid moving device may be manual or powered. The liquid is, effectively, stored in a measurement tray which is disposed adjacent to a cooling unit. The apparatus (with the exception of the pad, the manual pump and the connecting conduits) is maintained in a carrying case which can be insulated to enhance the operation of the cooling device.
