The best way to treat the pain and swelling experienced following an injury is to apply cold to the injured area. Often patients will use painkillers to deal with discomfort relating to their injury, but using this method is dangerous. Painkillers do nothing to treat the pain or inflammation associated with an injury, merely covering up the damage or even making the injury worse. Instead of painkillers, use cold to relieve this pain safely and effectively.
Many wraps will not stay cold for very long and will quickly lose their ability to reduce pain and swelling. ColdCure ® wraps, however, use Perpachill ® technology to keep the gel packs cold. Perpachill ® gives the RigiGel ® gel in every ColdCure ® wrap the power to hold the cold longer than any other wrap . This means you can continue treating your injury for much more time than most gels.
The problem with many ice gels is that they do not properly distribute cold evenly over the whole injury, and do not stay cold for long. The way to fix this problem is to use a ColdCure ® cold compression wrap. ColdCure ® wraps use thicker, bigger wraps that hold their shape to keep the cold on the injury.
