The Reusable Hot/Cold Pack is designed to soothe pain and reduce swelling in a variety of situations. Simple to use and very durable, the Hot and Cold Pack is effective in both improving warm circulation as well as cooling and reducing swelling.
Application: Hot
Microwave: put the Hot/Cold Pack into the microwave for approx. 30 seconds (600W). Check the correct temperature has been reached by feeling the pack. If not, further heating should be in 15-second intervals.
Caution: DO NOT OVERHEAT. Times are based on 600W microwave. Adjust heating times accordingly to suit the power of your microwave.
On the hob: Bring some water to boil in a pan large in enough to put the Hot/Cold Pack in. Remove the pan from the heat and immerse the gel pack in the pan for approximately 4-10 minutes. After 4 minutes, check the temperature of the pack by feeling it. Check every 1 minute to see if the correct temperature has been reached.
Application: Cold
Store the Hot/Cold Pack in the freezer to be ready for use in the event of an emergency. The gel takes approximately 1 hour to freeze.
If you’re looking to keep your Hot/Cold pack unfrozen and ready for either hot or cold treatment, we suggest you add an Instant Ice Pack to your first aid kit.
