Frequently asked questions
Does this pack provide instant cooling?
Yes, these packs are specifically designed for instant activation. By simply folding the pack, the internal seal breaks and the cooling process begins immediately, making them highly effective for time-sensitive first aid.
Is this cold pack safe for sensitive skin?
The Medline Cold Pack is latex-free, which helps reduce the risk of allergic reactions. However, it is essential to never apply the pack directly to the skin. Always use a cloth barrier or the Medline Compress Holder (MDS138085) to ensure safe and comfortable application.
What is the target temperature during use?
These packs are engineered to reach a target temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit, providing an optimal, controlled cold therapy experience for minor injuries.
Are these packs suitable for multiple uses?
No, these are strictly single-use, disposable items. Once the chemical reaction has been activated, the pack is intended to be used once and then properly discarded.
What is the best way to activate the pack?
Activation is quick and easy:
- Fold the pack to break the internal seal.
- Shake the pack thoroughly to mix the contents (calcium ammonium nitrate and water).
- Wrap in a cloth or holder.
- Apply to the affected area.
Can I use this for infants?
No, this product is not intended for use on infants. Please consult a medical professional for pediatric first aid solutions.
How many packs come in a case?
Each case contains 24 individual instant cold packs, providing a reliable supply for athletic training rooms, school infirmaries, or home emergency kits.
Is the material durable during use?
The packs are constructed from a durable plastic exterior designed to hold the internal cooling agents securely while remaining flexible enough to contour to the area of the body being treated.
Do I need any special tools for this?
No special tools are required for operation. However, for the best comfort and protection, it is recommended to use the Medline Compress Holder (MDS138085), which is specifically designed to work with these packs.
Are instructions included on the pack?
Yes, the packaging is designed for high-visibility and includes trilingual instructions (English, French, and Spanish). The instructions feature clear, numbered diagrams so they are easy to follow even in stressful emergency situations.
