Product Details

The HypaGel Hot/Cold Packs for Children are reusable gel packs designed for both hot and cold therapy. Featuring bright, cheerful designs, they help comfort children who are in pain or distress. These packs are ideal for soothing acute muscle pain, inflammation, toothaches, and minor sprains or strains.

The packs can be warmed in a microwave for heat therapy or chilled in the freezer for cold therapy. When cold, they remain flexible, allowing maximum contact with the affected area. Compact and convenient, they’re perfect for use at home, in nurseries, or in primary schools.

Safety Note: Gel packs should always be applied by an adult and never placed directly on the skin.

How Hot/Cold Packs Work
Cold Therapy: Chilling the pack in the fridge or freezer creates a cold compress that helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and acute pain. Unlike ice, the gel retains cold for longer, maintaining effective therapy.
Heat Therapy: Heating the pack in a microwave turns it into a warm compress that relaxes tight muscles, eases chronic discomfort, and improves circulation.

Always use a barrier (e.g., sleeve or cloth) between the pack and the skin.

Hot vs Cold Therapy
Hot Therapy: Increases blood flow, relaxes muscles, eases chronic pain, and promotes comfort.
Cold Therapy: Constricts blood vessels, slows circulation, and reduces inflammation, swelling, and acute pain.

How to Use
For Heat: Microwave the pack for ~50 seconds.
For Cold: Chill in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Place the pack in a protective sleeve or barrier.
Apply to the affected area.
