Product Information

For even greater comfort and effectiveness, use this hot/cold pack with the optional non-woven cover or compression strap. To microwave, place the gel pack in a microwavable container and cover with water ( Never heat in microwave without the water, dry heat may damage the pack and overheat the gel). They also appreciate the fact that it stays a bit cooler for linger and that it worked for cooling beds in the middle of the summer. Remove the blue gel pack from the pocket of the wrap, place in a bowl of water and place in a microwave.

If you do not have access to a freezer, the gel pack can be cooled in a fridge, although the cooling therapy will not be as effective as placing the pack in a freezer.It is an essential piece of kit to keep in the freezer to apply immediately after acute sprains, strains and contusions. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If a longer period of cool therapy is required we would suggest also purchasing a spare reusable gel pack. This has a soft touch fastening strap so you can secure the gel pack to the affected area for relief.

Cool your reusable gel pack in the freezer or heat in the microwave to provide effective treatment for sprains, strains and delayed-onset muscle soreness. After heating or chilling, wrap the pack in a towel (or put it in a cold pack cover) and apply it to the area of the body you wish to treat. To Chill: Place the hot and cold pack in the fridge or freezer until it reaches the desired temperature.They mention that it provides amazing pain relief, aids the healing process, and is perfect for swollen joints and backs. We can usually despatch these items within the UK with no problems but any transport by air will pick up on the restricted items, this usually includes Northern Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey (although classed as UK) and Ireland. Pop the pack in the freezer for cold therapy, and pop it in the microwave for heat therapy – simple! Never apply the gel pack directly to skin without protection, such as a towel, as it may cause burns or frostbite. Short periods of cold applied immediately after injury restrict local blood supply and this limits bleeding and thus subsequent swelling or oedema.

Reusable to treat delayed muscle soreness for days after the injury has occurred to soothe the wounded area.Place a towel or hot/cold pack sleeve between the pack and your skin and then apply to the required area. Simple to use and provides long-lasting hot or cold therapy, longer than a standard instant hot or cold pack. Heat therapy increases blood flow to the affected area, increasing the availability of oxygen and nutrients.
