Have you suffered an injury, inflammation or swelling due to exercise? Then it is very important to cool it immediately. This can be done using an instant cold pack. This is a soft cooling element that fully adapts to the shape of your body. It has the same cooling and pain-relieving effect as ice, but it is much more convenient to use. The great thing about this medical device is that it does not need to be stored in the freezer. You can therefore take the cold pack with you everywhere, to the gym, when traveling and so on. This way you always have a cooling element at hand in the event of an accident. Super handy! Order your instant cold pack before 3 p.m. and you will have it delivered tomorrow.
Application of the instant cold pack
You can use the instant cold pack to cool a body part in the case of:
- Sprains
- Muscle injuries
- Overheating
- Bruising
- Headache
- Burns
- Bruises
- Swelling
- Cramps
- Strains
- Toothache
In the above situations, an instant cold pack is often an effective first treatment. It is advisable to cool immediately, especially in the case of acute injuries, swelling and inflammation.
How does the instant cold pack work?
The instant cold pack consists of a sturdy but soft bag with a cooling compartment on the inside. When you squeeze the bag, a chemical reaction occurs that initiates a cooling process. This makes the cooling bag immediately ice cold. This cold lasts for about 30 minutes. This gives you plenty of time to cool the desired body part.
How do I use the cold pack instant?
Follow the following steps when using the cold pack instant:
-
Squeeze
Locate the inner pocket of the cooling pack and squeeze it firmly with both hands to activate the cooling process.
-
Shake
Then shake the bag to ensure that the cooling liquid spreads over the entire package.
-
Wrap in a cloth
Wrap the cooling bag in a tea towel, washcloth or towel before applying it to the skin. If the ice comes into direct contact with bare skin, you run the risk of frostbite wounds. The cloth forms, as it were, a protective layer.
-
Cooling
You can now use the instant cold pack to cool the desired body part. Press the pack gently against the inflamed or swollen body part. The bag will remain ice cold for about thirty minutes. After cooling, you can throw away the instant cold pack. This can only be used once.
How long to cool in case of inflammation?
If you have suffered an inflammation or swelling, it is smart to cool down immediately. This will prevent the worst swelling and pain. However, do not refrigerate for more than 15-20 minutes at a time. The cold constricts the blood vessels, slowing down blood flow. You may repeat cooling regularly, for example every two hours.
Other tips for inflammation
What else can you do to ease the pain and swelling associated with inflammation? In addition to cooling the inflamed muscles with the cold pack, we recommend that you also use an ice cold cooling muscle gel . The RÉVVI muscle gel activates a long-lasting and deeply penetrating analgesic effect around the inflamed muscle. Do not use heat gels or other products with heat in the immediate period after the inflammation, as heat can actually worsen the problem and the pain. You only apply heat after the acute phase, when the recovery phase begins.
Order your instant cold pack
As you have read, an instant cold pack is a useful and effective way to get rid of pain and swelling due to inflammation and injuries. And this cold pack is also super affordable at RÉVVI! We therefore recommend that you immediately purchase several of these packs, so that you always have one at hand when you need one.
