Points-Of-Cold

CryoMAX® “Points-of-Cold” Technology is the most advanced cold therapy on store shelves today – a patented, science-based system that utilizes non-toxic, latex-free materials and works for up to 8 hours at doctor-recommended therapeutic temperatures.

CryoMAX® “Points of Cold” Technology is uniquely configured not as a solid block of frozen liquid, but as small, rounded, frozen water-filled capsules arranged in rows and separated by space in which a non-toxic, non-freezing formula allows for body-conforming applications.

Unlike conventional cold packs that temporarily mask pain and inhibit healing by freezing underlying tissue and blood vessels, CryoMAX® “Points of Cold” Technology absorbs heat and pain without interfering with the body’s natural healing processes.

Simply put, CryoMAX® “Points of Cold” is the most advanced cold therapy technology on store shelves today.

Traditional ice packs trap heat inside the injury…

Traditional cold packs – folk remedies like bags of ice cubes and boxes of frozen peas – freeze large areas, masking pain for brief periods while trapping heat, neutralizing the body’s natural healing processes, and prolonging injury time.

CryoMAX® “Points of Cold” Technology draws heat out of injury to promote quick, natural healing.

CryoMAX® patented “Points-of-Cold” Technology distributes cooling evenly in rows of frozen liquid separated by non-freezing channels; heat is drawn out and away from the injury as blood flows freely through affected tissue, the body heals itself, and recovery time is shortened

Longest Lasting Cold Packs

Thanks to its patented “Points of Cold” Technology, CryoMAX® provides up to 8 hours of pain relief at doctor-recommended therapeutic temperatures of 36°-40° F.

On average, the 10 leading brands of cold therapy products exceed 40° F in less than 2 hours – at which point it’s back to the refrigerator for another low-tech block of ice or package of frozen peas.

Place your body-conforming CryoMAX® into its Support Wrap, secure it to the affected area, and go about your day... at work, and at play. The heat and pain is drawn out as the body heals itself and you enjoy up to 8 hours of physical comfort, peace of mind, and uninhibited healing.

Types of ice and cold packs

• Ice towel. Wet a towel with cold water and squeeze it until it is just damp. Fold the towel, place it in a plastic bag, and freeze it for 15 minutes. Remove the towel from the bag and place it on the injured or sore area.
• Ice pack. Put about0.5 kg (1 lb) of ice in a plastic bag or ice pack you buy at the store. Add enough water to barely cover the ice. Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal it. Wrap the bag in a wet towel and apply to the affected area.
• Cold packs.
  • Bags of frozen peas or corn are inexpensive, last 10 to 20 minutes, and mould well to your body.
  • Mix 720 mL (3 cups) water and 240 mL (1 cup) rubbing alcohol in a freezer bag. Seal the bag and place it in the freezer until slush forms. Refreeze the bag when the slush melts.
  • You can also buy cold packs that can be reused. Store them in your freezer. Some of them are designed to wrap around an injured area, such as an arm or knee.

Using an ice or cold pack

Apply an ice or cold pack to the injured or sore area at least 3 times a day for as long as you have pain, swelling, and inflammation. For the first 72 hours, ice for 10 minutes, once an hour. After that, use ice for 15 to 20 minutes, 3 times a day: in the morning, in the late afternoon after work or school, and about one-half hour before bedtime. Also, ice after any prolonged activity or vigorous exercise.

Always keep a cloth between your skin and the ice pack, and press firmly against all the curves of the affected area. Do not apply ice for longer than 15 to 20 minutes at a time, and do not fall asleep with the ice on your skin.

Commercial cold packs are too heavy and bulky for use on or around the eye. Be careful around the eye to prevent a chemical burn to the eye if a pack leaks.

Ice and Heat Packs

By Sarah Henry

When you are injured or experience soreness or chronic pain, you may receive conflicting advice about what to do. Apply heat? Apply cold? Here's an overview of how to use temperature in the healing process.

What is a cold pack?

Popular and effective in treatments to ease pain and swelling from minor injuries, cold packs come in many different varieties. Some are sacks of gel that turn into ice packs in your freezer; others are packets designed to turn cold instantly with a simple squeeze, no refrigeration or freezing required. You can also make your own cold pack by wrapping some ice or a bag of frozen vegetables in a towel.

When should you use a cold pack?

Anyone who has ever sprained or twisted an ankle or pulled a muscle knows that cold is your friend. Bruises, insect bites, and repetitive strain injuries such as tendinitis, also respond well to treatment with cold packs. Cold therapy can help people with muscle spasms, whiplash, and various forms of arthritis as well.

How does a cold pack work?

Cold packs are very effective at reducing swelling and numbing pain. An injury swells because fluid leaks from blood vessels; cold causes vessels to constrict, reducing their tendency to ooze. The less fluid that leaks from blood vessels, the less swelling results. Cold also eases inflammation and muscle spasms, two common sources of pain.

The sooner you apply an ice pack to a sprain or strain, the sooner it can do its job reducing pain and swelling. For chronic problems such as low back pain or muscle spasms, ice whenever the symptoms start up.

How long should you use a cold pack?

A general rule of thumb is to ice an injury over a period of 24 to 72 hours. Apply cold packs for periods of up to 20 minutes every two to four hours. When your skin starts to feel numb, it's time to give your body a break from a cold pack.

What precautions should you take when using cold packs?

Prolonged, direct contact with cold can damage skin and nerves so always be sure to wrap your cold pack in a towel. If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or blood vessel disorders such as vasculitis or Raynauds disease, talk with a health professional before using a cold pack.

When should you use a hot pack?

Heat can increase blood flow and help restore movement to injured tissue. Warmth can also reduce joint stiffness, pain, and muscle spasms. As with cold packs, heat packs have a role in easing pain from both acute and chronic injuries, such as sprains, strains, muscle spasms, whiplash, and arthritis. Doctors often suggest using cold packs for the first day or two, and then switching to heat if the symptoms persist or become more chronic.In fact, for some folks, nothing soothes a sore back like a hot pack. In a study published in the journal Spine, investigators at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey found that the continuous application of low-level heat eased low back pain better than two common over-the-counter painkillers.

How long should you use a hot pack?Apply a hot pack wrapped in a towel for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Some physical therapists recommend alternating between heat and cold for people with painful muscle spasms or chronic problems such as arthritis.

When shouldn't you use a hot pack?Although you may feel tempted to apply the soothing warmth of a heat pack immediately following an injury, resist the urge. You should treat any new injury with cold for a couple of days before switching to heat. Heat actually may do more damage than good until most of the swelling is gone.

How do you make your own hot or cold pack?Fabric hot packs, filled with rice, can be whipped up on a sewing machine. These packs can be heated in a microwave for about three to five minutes, until comfortably hot, and used as you would use a hot water bottle. Use regular white rice, not instant. And make sure you use an all-cotton fabric, as synthetics are not suitable for heating in a microwave. These handmade hot packs can also be stored in the freezer and used as cold packs too.
