Place packs without compress wrap in freezer for 1-2 hours before initial application.  For sensitive skin use cold with thin sock or paper towel barrier between gel-packs and treatment area. Packs may be used in rotation every 15 minutes as recommended by your health care professional. Crushed ice may be substituted for gel packs inside pouches if desired.

HEAT

Remove packs from protective pouches and place in microwave on high power for 30 sec intervals up to 1 minute maximum. Packs may also be warmed in boiling water with maximum boiling time reached at 3 minutes. Always check temperature prior to application. Insert packs back into sleeves and position inside wrap.  

Precautions:

Use packs only as directed. Overheating packs may cause expansion. Hot packs can cause burns if handled improperly. After heating pack, always check temperature before applying to body. As with many forms of cold treatment, ski irritation may occur as a result of improper usage. Cold therapy should not be used on patients who are cold hypersensitive, experience compromised local circulation or vasopastic diseases such as Raynauds. If abnormal pain, swelling or unusual reactions are experienced while using this product, remove and discontinue use until further advised by a medical professional. 

Directions:

Position adjustable pack(s) throughout the wrap for specific injury. For foot: Place heel in hole and secure straps to provide compression for swelling control as needed. Elevate foot as directed. For elbow: place elbow in hole with thin strap above the joint for improved fit.  For continuous cold applications or contrast treatments rotate packs in and out of wrap as needed using a typical 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off program. Always consult your certified health care provider for your prescribed plan of wellness.
