It features a reusable gel pack that can be heated in the microwave for therapeutic heat or stored in the freezer for cold therapy. A mesh pocket in the lower lumbar region holds a gel insert. The criss-cross design's plush latex-free elastic compression straps give compression to the entire lumbar region. Constructed of a unique tri-laminate material that combines a durable outer nylon, a support foam base, and a soft cotton lining, the design also features two anti-roll stays and easy hook and loop closures.
