Frequently asked questions
Does this pack provide instant cooling?
Yes, these packs are specifically engineered for immediate use. By simply folding the pack in half, the internal pouch breaks to trigger a chemical reaction that provides instant, effective cold therapy.
What temperature does the pack reach?
These instant cold packs are designed to reach a target temperature of 32 degrees F, ensuring effective, localized cooling for managing minor injuries.
Can I reuse these cold packs?
No, these are single-use, disposable compresses. They are designed for one-time use during first aid emergencies and should be discarded after the cooling reaction has finished.
Is there a safe way to apply these to skin?
To ensure safety and comfort, you must never place the pack directly on the skin. Always use a protective cloth barrier or the compatible Medline Compress Holder (MDS138085) between the pack and the skin to prevent potential irritation.
What is inside these cold packs?
Each pack is constructed with a durable, flexible plastic exterior containing two components: water and calcium ammonium nitrate. When folded, these elements combine to produce an instant cooling effect.
Are these suitable for a small first aid kit?
Absolutely. Their compact 5 x 6-inch size makes them highly portable and a practical addition to workplace, school, or home first aid kits for quick emergency response.
How many packs come in a single case?
Each purchase provides a case containing 50 individual instant cold packs, ensuring you have an ample supply for emergency situations or high-traffic environments.
Is the activation process simple for emergencies?
Yes, the packs feature clear, step-by-step pictorial instructions printed directly on the exterior. This design allows for quick comprehension and easy activation during high-stress situations.
Does this require any special storage preparation?
No special preparation or refrigeration is required. These packs are designed for on-the-spot activation, meaning they can be stored at room temperature and are ready for use immediately when needed.
Are these cold packs professional-grade?
