How Techni Ice works and how to hydrate it

It arrives dry and flat, which is the point - it stores and ships in almost no space. Soaking the sheet in water lets the cells absorb and swell into gel, and from then on it behaves as a conventional gel pack: freeze it for cold, or warm it for heat. Because it is hydrated rather than pre-filled, one sheet can be cut into the shapes you actually need before soaking. Use it with a cloth between the pack and the skin in both directions - never apply it straight from the freezer to bare skin, and check the temperature before applying heat, particularly on anyone with reduced sensation, reduced circulation, or who cannot tell you it is too hot. Around 15 to 20 minutes on, then off for at least as long, is the usual guidance for both.

Common uses

Sports and workplace first aid, clinic and physiotherapy treatment rooms, transporting temperature-sensitive items, and camping and esky use.
