In addition to eliminating all the faults of the usual hot pack devices, the insulated sleeve has the following advantages: It provides an inexpensive, light weight flexible device of surprising efficiency. By conserving body heat it keeps the limb warmer than does a hot pack. Since it cannot raise the skin temperature above body temperature, it is self-limiting in its effect and therefore inimitably safe. It weighs only 14 ounces. It does not require the periodic attendance of a nurse.∗∗This device under the name of “Autotherm” is available from Micro Institute, Division of Image Transfer, Inc., 31 West Street, Randolph, Mass.
