Abstract
An apparatus for applying a temperature therapy to a hand includes an outer member and an inner member. The inner member functions to at least temporarily maintain a therapy temperature. In one embodiment, the therapy temperature is less than an ambient temperature. The outer member receives the inner member and defines a pocket for receiving a thumb of the hand. The outer member includes a feature for selectively attaching to the hand and further provides for use by either a right or a left hand.
