INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

COLD USE

  • Remove gel pack and insert into a freezer for at least 2 ½ hours prior to use.
  • Ideally we suggest to keep a gel pack in the freezer until you need it.
  • Altenatively you may place the gel pack in a mixture of heavily iced water until suitably cold.
  • Remove from the freezer or iced water.
  • Dry, wrap in a towel or use a cover if provided and apply over the area using RICE guidelines of Rest/Ice/Compression/Elevation after trauma.
  • Gel packs are usually applied to an injured or sore area at least 3 times a day for as long as you have pain, swelling, and inflammation.
  • In the first 72 hours, it is recommended to ice for 10 minutes, once an hour.

HOT USE

MICROWAVE METHOD

  • Heating times are based on an 800W microwave.
  • Adjust heating times accordingly to suit the power of your microwave. It may take a few goes to get it right.
  • Always heat pack from room temperature - never from frozen.
  • Microwave the gel pack ONLY - never the fabric, cover or strap.
  • Monitor whilst heating - If the pack swells, turn off the microwave immediately and wait for swelling to subside.
  • Place the gel pack flat on the microwave turntable, close the door and heat for 20 seconds on HIGH.
  • Remove the gel pack USING AN OVEN GLOVE OR TOWEL and test the temperature.
  • If the edges are warm and the middle cold, move the gel around inside the pack to distribute the heat.
  • Re-Flatten and return to the microwave for another 10-20 seconds.
  • Always keep an eye on it at all times.
  • Repeat above steps until desired heat is achieved.
  • Once the pack is sufficiently warm, wrap it in a towel or place it in a cover (if available) and lay it over the part of your body that needs the heat.

Please pay close attention to these points.

  • Don't make the pack too hot so as to risk burning yourself.
  • Medically, there is no advantage to anything more than gentle warmth.
  • Don’t heat the pack for more than 10-20 seconds at a time.
  • The plastic may melt at the edges if heated too aggressively.
  • Short bursts are best.
  • In the unlikely event that you damage the pack, allow the gel to cool completely before attempting to clean it up.
  • Don’t panic – the gel is 100% non-toxic.
  • Always handle a HOT pack through a towel, glove or cover and do not apply a HOT pack directly to the skin without protection.
  • When using do not put weight on the pack by sitting on the gel pack.
  • Breakage/leakage may occur.
