Blue Healer provide hot or cold ice packs that can help users to recover from various types of injuries quickly. Some of the common applications of ice packs are sports injury, degenerative arthritis, minor burns, headaches, muscular and ligament warm up and inflammation reduction. The packs consist of non-toxic thermal gel laminated in food grade nylon bags. The packs are offered in regular and super size that can be used in any part of the body.
Strains and sprains to muscles and ligaments caused during sports activities are generally due to the extension of the fibres or insufficient warm up procedures before the activities. Applying ice packs will immediately stop the blood flow to the injured spot, thus reducing the severity of the injury. Later, heat packs are applied to increase the flow of blood and help the body to recover quickly.
These first aid packs can be used to provide both cold therapy and heat therapy to patients. The packs are generally stored in a reusable container and are placed in the freezer. This helps to provide immediate cold therapy for the patients in need. The glycol content in the pack ensures that the gel does not get frozen due to long storage hours. For hot therapy, the pack can be placed in a bowl of hot water or in a microwave oven for a short period of time or until the desired temperature is achieved.
