Frequently asked questions
How long does the ColPac provide cold therapy?
The Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPac provides up to 30 minutes of consistent cold therapy. This makes it ideal for clinical use, especially in high-volume rehabilitation or physical therapy settings.
Does the ColPac freeze solid?
No, the Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPac is specifically engineered to resist freezing solid.
It is filled with a non-toxic silica gel compound (or bentonite/glycol blend) that ensures the pack remains chilled and pliable for the duration of the treatment (up to 30 minutes). This constant flexibility allows the pack to conform closely to the body contours for maximum therapeutic contact.
Which specialized sizes target specific areas?
The Chattanooga ColPac is available in four distinct, specialized sizes designed for effective coverage and contouring across various anatomical areas. Because the pack is filled with a non-toxic gel blend, it remains pliable when chilled, enhancing its ability to wrap around the body effectively for superior patient comfort.
The four available configurations include:
- Standard Size: Ideal for general medium coverage.
- Neck Contour: Specifically shaped for targeted relief around the cervical spine, neck, and upper shoulders.
- Oversize: Designed to cover large surface areas, such as the knee or shoulder joint bilaterally.
- Half Size: Suitable for targeted relief on smaller, focused spots.
Is the Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPac latex-free?
Yes, the Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPac is latex-free, making it suitable for individuals with latex sensitivities or allergies.
Is a high-quality, non-toxic gel used?
Yes, the Chattanooga ColPac utilizes a non-toxic, high-quality filling specifically engineered for clinical performance and flexibility.
Key features of the design and materials include:
- Non-Toxic Filling: The packs contain a non-toxic blend, described as silica gel (or bentonite/glycol blend), ensuring safety and consistent cold delivery.
- Superior Pliability: Crucially, the filling resists freezing solid. This allows the ColPac to remain highly pliable throughout the treatment, ensuring it molds perfectly to body contours for effective therapeutic contact.
- Durable Construction: The outer shell is made of robust, black polyurethane and the entire product is latex-free, making it durable for heavy clinical or home use.
- Therapy Duration: The pack is designed to provide up to 30 minutes of consistent, targeted cold treatment per application.
Is the ColPac effective for reducing pain and swelling?
Yes, the Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPac is specifically designed for effective cold therapy management of pain, swelling, and fever, making it ideal for clinical and personal use.
Key features that ensure effective relief include:
- Consistent Therapy: Provides up to 30 minutes of sustained cold treatment per application, perfect for acute injury management.
- Pliable Conformance: The pack is filled with a non-toxic silica gel (bentonite/glycol blend) that remains flexible even when fully chilled. This allows it to conform comfortably and effectively to all body contours.
- Durable Design: Constructed with a heavy-duty polyurethane outer shell and is fully latex-free.
- Versatile Sizing: Available in four sizes (Standard, Neck Contour, Oversize, Half Size) to ensure optimal coverage for targeted areas.
Is the durable ColPac suitable for personal home use?
Yes, the Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPac is fully suitable for effective personal home use, delivering clinical-grade cold therapy reliability for managing pain, swelling, and fever.
Key features that make it ideal for home application:
- Pliable Conformance: The pack is filled with a non-toxic blend (silica gel, bentonite, and glycol) that remains soft and flexible even when thoroughly chilled. This allows the pack to conform perfectly to the body’s contours for superior therapeutic contact.
- Extended Cold Duration: It provides up to 30 minutes of consistent, therapeutic cold treatment per application.
- Ease of Use: While optimized for professional chilling units, it can be easily chilled in a standard home freezer (it requires freezing to 12°F / -11°C).
- Versatile Sizing: It is available in four shapes—Standard Size, Neck Contour, Oversize, and Half Size—to ensure you can target any specific area of the body.
- Durable and Safe: Built with a robust polyurethane exterior for long-term reusability and certified latex-free.
Is this ColPac compatible with clinical chilling units?
Yes, the Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPac is engineered specifically for heavy clinical use and is fully compatible with professional chilling systems for high-volume settings.
Compatibility and Performance
- Rapid Chilling: The packs can be quickly prepared when used in conjunction with units like the Chattanooga C-5 Chilling Unit or the Chattanooga ColPac Freezer, though standard freezers also work.
- Sustained Cold: Provides up to 30 minutes of consistent, effective cold therapy per application.
- Remains Pliable: The non-toxic silica gel filling (a bentonite/glycol blend) ensures the ColPac stays flexible, even when chilled to 12° F (-11° C). This pliability allows the pack to comfortably contour to the body for maximum therapeutic coverage.
Is the ColPac material durable and safe?

- Latex-Free: The entire product is latex-free, ensuring safety for users with sensitivities.
- Consistent Therapy: The pack delivers effective cold therapy for up to 30 minutes per application.
Is the ColPac durable for clinical use?
Yes, the Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPac is specifically engineered for heavy clinical use in high-volume environments like physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics. Its design focuses on endurance and consistent performance:
- Durable Construction: The exterior shell is made from tough, latex-free polyurethane built to withstand frequent chilling and rigorous daily handling.
- Sustained Cold Therapy: Each pack delivers up to 30 minutes of consistent, therapeutic cold treatment.
- Conforming Pliability: The non-toxic silica gel filling (a bentonite/glycol blend) prevents the pack from freezing solid, ensuring it remains highly pliable and conforms easily to various body contours during treatment.
- Optimized for Clinics: These packs are designed for rapid chilling, particularly when used with compatible Chattanooga chilling units, supporting quick patient turnaround.
