Heltiq Cold-warm compress large
HeltiQ Cold/Warm Compress supports natural pain relief and can be applied to your injuries or complaints based on cold or heat therapy.
To apply the compress cold, place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours. From the freezer, place it in the included sleeve and apply it directly to your injury. The HeltiQ Cold/Hot Compress prevents swelling and relieves pain without the need for painkillers.
You can use cold therapy for injuries such as strains, bruises, sprains, contusions, fever, pain from inflammation, headaches, migraines, toothaches, insect bites and stings, itching, cracked nipples, engorgement, swelling and sunburn.
In the case of a serious injury that still requires regular cooling to reduce swelling and pain, you can also apply a cold compress while applying a support or compression bandage. Do you need immediate cooling with a compress (for example, for sports injuries) and don't have a compress in the freezer? Then the HeltiQ Instant Cold Compress is a good alternative.
By warming the HeltiQ Cold/Hot Compress in the microwave or a pan of water, you can also use it for heat therapy. Heat therapy can be used for joint pain, neck pain (e.g., stiff neck), abdominal cramps, menstrual pain, back pain, lumbago, and muscle pain.
Would you prefer two separate compresses for cold and hot? Then make sure you always have two at home. One should be kept in the freezer for cold applications and the other for heat therapy. The HeltiQ Cold and Hot Compress Combination is a good alternative.
- HeltiQ Cold/Warm Compresses locally relieve pain without the use of painkillers.
