Quick and Convenient Cooling:
Instant cold packs are a quick and convenient way to provide the benefits of cold therapy to treat an injury. Instant cold pack ingredients include water and urea, which, when combined, trigger an endothermic chemical reaction. This reaction absorbs heat, reducing the temperature of the pack rapidly and safely. Larger ice packs cater to bigger areas or more substantial injuries.

• If the injury results in restricted movement or the inability to bear weight.
• Look out for redness, warmth, pus, or if the injured area becomes increasingly tender.
• If the skin becomes overly irritated or you notice any adverse reaction after applying the cold pack.
