Hot & Cold Packs


Hot and Cold gel packs are safe and made of non-toxic materials, it will not liquefy or spill easily to cause contamination. The non-toxic refrigerant gel is used by professionals in the industry:


 

  • surgeons

  • physiotherapists

  • chiropractors

  • massage therapists

  • chemists

  • Workplace Health and Safety

  • medical centers

  • pharmacies

 

Industry advantage:

  1. Cold packs enable the shipping of heat sensitive products

    (pharmaceuticals, vaccines, medicines, meats and other perishable products), arrive at their recommended temperature. For example, probiotics need to be protected from both extremes of heat and cold during shipping.

  2. .The gel pack gives the shipment extra thermal mass and protects it. This includes hot meal delivery.

  3.  Hot and Cold packs are frequently used by cosmetic and plastic surgery patients to reduce swelling and bruising.


Hot and Cold Therapy


For people who experience:


  • minor burns

  • menstrual tension(dysmenorrhea)

  • degenerative joint disease

  • headache pain

  • congested sinus passages

  • rehabilitation

  • sports injury/recovery

  • toothache

Sports Injury – Reduces the severity of an injury and enables a shorter recuperation period


Sports Recovery – Heat therapy allows the body to repair itself at a faster rate


Degenerative Arthritis – Heat therapy makes movements less painful and soothes sore aching muscles, cold will reduce inflammation, swelling and discomfort

Minor Burns – Cold therapy rapidly removes heat residue, and prevents the injury from

painfully escalating


Headaches – Cold therapy's numbing effect, relaxes muscle spasms and removes painful waste products


Stroke Survivors – It is common to use thermal stimulation to treat muscle spasticity, or pain in patients who have suffered a stroke. Alternating

hot and cold packs helps rehabilitate

paralysed hands and arms of people who

have survived stroke


Inflammation – Includes allergies, acne & pimples, sinus, insect bites and over-exertion


Lacerations – Cold therapy reduces the loss of blood and controls the feeling of pain in that area


Muscle Warm-up – Heat works on past injury or weak areas of the body prior to physical exertion, to prepare muscles for heavy action


Pelvic disease- Apply heat to the lower back or abdomen


Menstrual Cramps – The cold from the gel pack will actually draw blood out of the pelvis(which usually will have a build-up of blood that creates the cramps), and draw it towards other extremities

*heat can be placed on stomach or back


Sciatica – Cold therapy is used in the painful stages to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the leg. Heat therapy is used after the intense pain to dilute blood vessels, people who suffer from sciatica find that alternating between hot and cold therapy is very effective.
