Be prepared for any injury with our versatile, classic ice pack

Our Reusable Ice Pack is an essential for active individuals and a staple in any first aid kit. Small enough to be stowed in your gym bag, this ice pack is your first line of defence against the discomfort of injuries. The Reusable Ice Pack isn't just for acute injuries, it is also useful for managing chronic pain, making it versatile in both emergency responses and routine care.

This ice pack functions by being filled with ice cubes, crushed ice, or ice water and can be applied directly to the affected area. Its flexible fabric construction allows it to mould seamlessly to various parts of the body, such as the shoulders, back, knees, and more, providing targeted pain relief and swelling reduction exactly where it's needed.

Using the principles of cryotherapy, or cold therapy, the Reusable Ice Pack is a recommended component of the RICE protocol—Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation—a trusted method advised by physiotherapists and health professionals to alleviate muscle trauma and accelerate recovery. It's an essential tool for everyone, from sports enthusiasts to those needing quick pain relief post-injury. Whether you're dealing with sports injuries, such as sprains and strains, or require a reliable solution for managing swelling in high-intensity environments like boxing, this ice pack ensures effective cold therapy conveniently at your disposal.

How to Use Reusable Ice Packs

  1. Open the Ice Pack: Turn the lid anticlockwise to loosen and remove it.
  2. Fill the Bag: Insert crushed ice or ice cubes into the bag until it’s about two-thirds full. To increase the cooling effect, you can add a little cold water to fill the bag further. Avoid crushing the ice in the bag itself to prevent damage.
  3. Secure the Lid: After filling, replace the lid by twisting it clockwise. Ensure it is tightly secured to prevent any leaks.
  4. Apply the Ice Pack: Place the ice pack directly on the affected area. Hold it firmly against the area to maximise contact with the skin and ensure effective cooling.

When to Seek Medical Assistance

  • Persistent Pain: If pain persists despite regular use of the ice pack, especially if it worsens over time.
  • Severe Swelling: While some swelling is common after injury, excessive or increasing swelling needs medical evaluation.
  • Changes in Skin Colour: Any discolouration, such as blue or very pale skin, which could indicate poor circulation or a more serious condition.
  • Numbness or Tingling: If you experience a loss of sensation or a 'pins and needles' feeling that does not improve.
  • Signs of Infection: Increased warmth, redness, or pus around the affected area are signs of infection.
  • No Improvement: If the injury does not improve after a few days of self-care including ice pack application.
  • Unbearable Pain: Sudden, acute pain that is unmanageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
