A thermal therapy garment system includes a garment assembly having a compression garment including an outer surface, an inner surface having a pocket, and a thermal pack. The pocket is located on the inner surface of the compression garment and is strategically placed on the compression garment such that thermal therapy is enabled on a target area of a body of a user-wearer. The target area of the body of the user-wearer is a muscle, a joint, or both. A compression garment may be worn underneath everyday clothing and may be concealed under everyday clothing.

A gel-pack has a plurality of self-contained components organized as layers in an interior chamber of the gel-pack. Each layer may be inserted into, and removed from, the interior chamber individually. The components include a solid-state gel layer that stores thermal energy, a first radiant energy barrier that prevents the transfer of thermal energy radiating from an exterior of the gel-pack into the solid-state gel layer, and a second radiant energy barrier that reflects the thermal energy radiating from the user's body into the solid-state gel layer.

An article of clothing adapted for use by a wearer, the article of clothing including an outer body and an inner body. The outer body includes a front sheet, a collar portion, a pair of sleeves, each sleeve extending from one side of the outer body. The inner body includes a front sheet, a collar portion, a pair of sleeves, each sleeve extending from one side of the inner body. The collar portion of the inner body is attached to the collar portion of the outer body. The inner body is disposed within the outer body. In one embodiment, a pocket is disposed on the outer surface of the front sheet of the inner body. In another embodiment, a pocket is disposed on the inner surface of the front sheet of the outer body.

A comfort, infusion-friendly, sweater supplements existing attire of a wearer and accommodates pre-existing medical attachments. The sweater includes a first arm portion with top and bottom plackets extending lengthwise from a collar portion to a wrist portion, plackets having fasteners and mating fasteners. The sweater has a first front portion connected to the first arm portion, a second arm portion, a second front portion and a back. A collar pull tab, having a pull fastener, extends outward near the collar. A mating fastener is on the collar portion or the back portion. Engaging the first arm fasteners and mating fasteners dons the sweater over the existing attire of the wearer, without disruption the medical connections. Based on the plackets and pull tab(s), a wearer can single-handedly don and remove the sweater, adding self-sufficient comfort with a medical procedure.

A wearable rehabilitation and relaxation sleeve aid is described that provides support and therapeutic benefits to an injured area. The wearable sleeve aid includes a first inner protective layer and an outer protective layer that form a pocket area between them. A removable pack may be inserted in the pocket area. The removable pack may be cooled or heated to bring the removable pack to the desired temperature. The wearable sleeve aid further provides compression to the targeted recovery area of a user's body to reduce swelling and pain.

A wearable device for at least one of icing, heating and compressing a user's body part is disclosed. The device includes an inner part and an outer part, each having an upper end and a lower end. The inner part has a first set of elastic properties, and the outer part has a second set of elastic properties. The outer part surrounds the inner part. A first attaching means is configured for attaching the lower end of the inner part to the lower end of the outer part. A compartment for receiving ice is defined by the space between the outer part and the inner part above the first attaching means. A compression force is provided by the second set of elastic properties compressing at least one of a hot element and cold element against the user's body part thereby eliminating a second attaching means above the first attaching means.

A garment that heats a portion of a human body during warm-up prior to athletic endeavor having a heater pad member with a size between the size of a common index card and an ordinary sheet of paper for localized penetrating heating of tissue and muscles. Heating is achieved by electrical heating of a heater pad member having a reflective metal foil on one side of the heater pad and thermally conductive PVF sheets on the opposite side. On the one hand, the metal foil reflects optical radiation toward a human body, while on the other hand, the PVF sheets direct infrared radiation into the human body. Control electronics and the heater pad are contained in separate pockets of the garment that are electrically connected together.

Aspects herein are directed to a cooling garment. The cooling garment can include a vest configured to be worn by a wearer. One or more pockets on the vest may be configured to receive one or more icepacks. The one or more pockets may include a stretch material on a front portion of the one or more pockets. The one or more pockets can further include a non-stretch material on a back portion of the one or more pockets.

A garment for use by lactating mammals, the garment comprising a body capable of providing heat therapy or cold therapy and one or more straps connected to the body such that the straps are capable of holding the body in place on a user's breasts, udder, or dugs. The garment may allow hands-free application of heat therapy and/or cold therapy to the user's breasts. The garment may have openings capable of holding breast pump flanges, allowing the garment to be worn while using a breast pump. The fit of the garment 1 may be customizable for the comfort of the user. The garment 1 may be large enough to cover the entirety of both of the user's breast simultaneously and may conform to the user's breasts. The use of the extenders 10 may allow the garment 1 to provide compression to decrease milk supply when desired.
