How to use an instant ice pack safely

Squeeze the inner pouch to activate, shake to mix, then wrap the pack in a cloth or towel before it touches skin - never apply a cold pack directly, because an ice burn on already damaged tissue is a real risk. Apply for around 15 to 20 minutes, then leave it off for at least as long before repeating. Stop earlier if the skin becomes numb, white or mottled. If the pack splits, discard it and wash any contents off the skin. Use extra care on children, on people with reduced sensation or circulation, and on anyone who cannot tell you the pack is hurting.

Common uses

Sprains, strains, bruising and minor knocks; sideline and sports first aid; workplace and vehicle kits; and school and childcare sick bays. If you would rather refreeze than replace, Techni Ice is the reusable alternative. Stock them with hot and cold packs, or as part of a wider first aid supplies order at MediBC.
