Safety First Aid HypaGel Reusable Hot/Cold Pack (Q2291)

Description

Genuine Safety First Aid · Part no. Q2291

The HypaGel Q2291 from Safety First Aid is a reusable gel pack for hot or cold therapy. Chill it in the freezer to calm a fresh sprain, bump or swelling, or warm it in a microwave to ease a stiff back or aching muscles later on. The casing is made to resist bursting and punctures, so it can be used again and again.

Good to know

• Hot or cold, which should I use? Cold for a fresh knock, sprain or swelling; warmth for stiffness and aches once the swelling has gone down, never on a new injury.
• Can it go straight on the skin? No, wrap it in a cloth or put it in a compression cuff first, as a frozen or hot pack against bare skin can damage it.
• How do I warm it safely? Heat it in short bursts in the microwave, check the temperature by hand before use, and follow the heating instructions on the pack.

Which one?

To hold the pack on a knee, ankle or elbow hands-free, add the Compression Cuff (Q4226); for burns use the HypaSoothe Burn Dressing 10x10cm (D8160), not a cold pack.
