UMD: Ice bags designed to be placed around the throat as a collar. These devices consist of a rubber or soft plastic bag with an appropriate size and shape for comfortable use as a collar; they include a cap that can be threaded or otherwise fixed to the bag once the bag is filled and may also include external attachments (e.g., tabs, Velcro) to facilitate fixing around the throat. Collar ice bags are intended to alleviate pain and/or to promote healing in minor injured areas of the throat, neck, and/or head (e.g., after minor surgery, tonsillectomy, to alleviate sore throat).
