Ice Packs

Personal ice packs can be an effective way to control the pain and swelling of traumatic injuries until a paramedic arrives. Highly recommended for use in industrial and commercial settings, particularly in industries that carry a significant risk of workplace injury, ice packs provide therapeutic cold to surface wounds and are available in both reusable and disposable formats.

Instant Ice Packs Provide Quick First Aid for Injury Care

Some ice packs don't require pre-freezing to be used. These personal trauma control products need only to be squeezed and shaken, and then applied to the injured body part. With the ability to stay cold for up to half an hour, these ice packs make an inexpensive, versatile and vital addition to any industrial first aid kit or emergency care station.

As a complement to ice packs, instant heating compresses make an excellent addition. These products are also squeeze activated and ready for use within seconds. Paramedics stress the importance of alternating heat and cold in the treatment of some traumas, and both hot and cold compresses should be included in any complete kit of first-aid supplies.

Industrial and institutional clients can purchase these products in mass supply, with disposable units usually sold in cases of 24. Individual products made by manufacturers like Kwik Kold are also available for both single and mass purchase.
