The Pharmacare Reusable Hot-Cold Pack is a versatile, non-toxic pack that is ideal for applying cold therapy or heat therapy and is recommended for the treatment of minor scrapes and bruises, muscle aches and sprains, headaches, toothaches, minor burns and insect bites. The pack remains flexible to conform to your body during use, and the economical, reusable pack provides long lasting heat or cold.
The soft gel inside the pack refrigerates for cold therapy, and microwaves or boils for heat therapy. There is no need to purchase a separate ice pack and heat pack when treating pain, sore muscles, and inflammation, as the Pharmacare Reusable Hot-Cold Pack does it all. The pack can be used for any part of the body, and provides the user with maximal comfort and mobility.
The Pharmacare Reusable Hot-Cold Pack has several uses in both the home or clinical use. The cold pack provides cold therapy and temporary relieves minor pain and swelling. The hot pack can provide heat therapy and temporarily relieves minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness and muscle spasm.
