Sterofreeze instant ice packs provide immediate cold therapy without a freezer. Squeeze the pack to activate the endothermic chemical reaction, producing instant cold for treating sprains, strains, bumps, and soft tissue injuries. The multi-pack format provides bulk supply for workplaces, sports clubs, and first aid stations where instant cold packs are consumed regularly.
Compliance Summary: Instant ice packs are medical devices providing single-use cold therapy. The chemical activation mechanism eliminates the need for freezer storage, enabling deployment at any location. Always wrap the pack in a cloth before applying to skin to prevent cold burns.
How long does an instant ice pack stay cold?
Sterofreeze instant ice packs provide cold therapy for approximately 15 to 20 minutes after activation. This is sufficient for initial cold application on acute soft tissue injuries. For extended cold therapy, replace with a fresh pack or transition to a reusable ice pack from a freezer.
Should I apply the pack directly to skin?
No. Always wrap the instant ice pack in a thin cloth, towel, or bandage before applying to skin. Direct contact with an activated ice pack can cause cold burns, particularly on sensitive skin. Apply through a barrier for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove and allow the skin to return to normal temperature before reapplying.
