Using an instant cold pack safely

Activate it, then wrap it in a cloth or towel before it touches skin - never apply a cold pack directly, because an ice burn over already injured tissue is a real risk and happens faster than people expect. Around 15 to 20 minutes on, then off for at least as long before repeating, is the usual guidance. Stop sooner if the skin becomes numb, white or mottled. Take extra care with children, with anyone who has reduced sensation or circulation, and with anyone who cannot tell you it is hurting. If the pack splits, discard it and rinse any contents off the skin.

Common uses

Sprains, strains, bruising, minor burns and insect bites; sideline and sports first aid; vehicle, site and workplace kits; and school sick bays. If you would rather refreeze than replace, see the reusable Techni Ice sheet, or browse more hot and cold packs at MediBC.
