Cold & Hot Reusable Compress (Box of 12)

This reusable hot cold pack is a compress designed for relief of aches and pains, reduction of swelling and alleviation of muscle cramps. It is suitable for application of both hot and cold therapies.

If kept in the freezer, it will function as a reusable cold pack that delivers cold therapy to reduce blood flow to injured areas and help ease pain and swelling. Many health care providers recommend using ice packs for injuries that cause bleeding. The cold temperature causes blood vessels to contract and therefore reduces the bleeding. Cold therapy is also appropriate in the first couple of days after suffering an acute injury.

The Instant Cold Compress delivers similar cold therapy benefits.

This gel pack may also be used as a cooling pad by those required to work or play in hot and/or humid conditions, such as may be encountered in summer.

If warmed in a microwave oven , the reusable hot cold pack will provide heat therapy that will promote blood flow through injured soft tissues and therefore help to accelerate healing. Heat therapy is appropriate for treatment of chronic injuries. They are also a good choice for home treatment after the pain and swelling experienced in the immediate aftermath of an acute injury have started to subside.

Users should be careful to always wrap this reusable hot cold gel pack in a towel or other insulating material before holding it against the bare skin. Failing to do so can result in skin damage.

Please follow the guidance given below to ensure you use this product safely.
