Application of the instant cold pack
You can use the instant cold pack to cool a body part in case of:
- Sprains
- Muscle injuries
- Overheating
- Bruises
- Headache
- Burns
- Bruises
- swellings
- cramps
- Strains
- Toothache
In the above situations, a cold pack instant is often an effective first treatment. Especially in acute injuries, swellings and inflammations, it is advisable to cool immediately.
How does the instant cold pack work?
The instant cold pack consists of a firm but soft bag with a cooling compartment on the inside. When you squeeze the bag, a chemical reaction occurs that starts a cooling process. This makes the cooling bag ice cold immediately. 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?
When using the cold pack instant, follow these steps:
- pinch
Find the inner pocket of the cool pack and squeeze it firmly with both hands to activate the cooling process.
- Shake
Then shake the bag to ensure the cooling liquid spreads throughout 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. The cloth forms a protective layer, so to speak.
- Cooling
You can now use the instant cold pack to cool the desired body part. Gently press the pack against the inflamed or swollen body part. The bag will remain ice cold for approximately thirty minutes. After cooling, you can throw away the instant cold pack. It can only be used once.
How long to cool in case of inflammation?
If you have an inflammation or swelling, it is wise to cool immediately. This will prevent the worst swelling and pain. However, do not cool for longer than 15-20 minutes at a time. The cold constricts the blood vessels, which slows down the blood flow. You may repeat the cooling regularly, for example every two hours.
Other tips in case of inflammation
What else can you do to relieve the pain and swelling of an inflammation? In addition to cooling the inflamed muscles with the cold pack we recommend that you also ice cold cooling muscle gel to use. The RÉVVI muscle gel activates a long-lasting and deeply penetrating pain-relieving effect around the inflamed muscle.Do not use heat gels or other heat products in the immediate period after the inflammation, as heat can actually worsen the problem and the pain. Heat should only be applied after the acute phase, at the moment that the recovery phase begins.
