A practical alternative to leaky ice packs, messy frozen peas, and hot gauze pads or towels, the reusable, doctor-recommended Body Wrap Hot & Cold Pack Compress can be used on the body for hot or cold therapy to help in reducing swelling, bruising, pain, and discomfort and to speed your healing. Featuring a multi-sectional design for complete arms & legs coverage along with an elastic velcro strap to secure the compress in place around your arms & legs, the Body Wrap Hot & Cold Compress stays hot or cold longer than comparable products (up to 1 hour) and its unique soft outer membrane feels good to the skin and enhances patient comfort for extended use. The flexible compress conforms gently to the area where the application of cold therapy is needed. The compress's unique non-freezable, microwavable, non-toxic gel remains pliable and not hard even at low freezing temperatures. The design of the compress allows the gel to be distributed evenly over the treatment area for better cold therapy treatment. The gel and the material used for the compress are safe and non-toxic, making the compress safe for all applications. The immediate application of cold therapy is beneficial for reducing swelling by constricting the capillary vessels and slowing down the flow of blood and other fluids to the injured area. Patients also benefit from cold therapy's anesthetic effect on the nerves, which helps reduce the sensation of pain and provides a soothing, refreshing, and relaxing feeling to the injured area. Further, cold therapy reduces the risk of hematoma formation. Because cold therapy helps to restore strength, mobility and range of motion more quickly, patients may reduce their hospital stay, heal faster and feel better sooner.
