The Medvice 3-piece set offers a versatile approach to home recovery, including multiple sizes that can be used for both hot and cold therapy. The packs are constructed with a reinforced nylon weave over a polyethylene liner, striking a balance between a soft feel and the durability needed for household use. The internal gel is formulated to remain non-toxic and stays pliable at standard freezer settings of -18°C.
While the packs are rated for microwave use, the build quality is best preserved by using hot water immersion for heating. This method provides a more uniform temperature and reduces the risk of localized hot spots that can affect the inner liner over time. For cold application, the high-density gel prevents the pack from "bottoming out" when you lean against it, ensuring a consistent thermal barrier.
Helpful Features:
- Three different sizes included for targeted use on the back, knees, or shoulders.
- Nylon exterior provides a more comfortable touch than basic PVC.
- Pliable gel allows for effective contouring around small or large joints.
To keep the nylon exterior fresh, it is recommended to store these packs in a secondary container or bag within the freezer. This prevents the porous material from picking up food odors and keeps the packs clean for immediate skin contact when needed.
For parents specifically looking for pediatric-sized options with a softer aesthetic, the Colt & Kase Unicorn Packs are a great choice.
