R.I.C.E (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a common first aid treatment for muscle sprains and strains and may aid in quickening the recovery process. Traditionally applying ice in the first 48 hours of an injury helps to minimise pain, swelling and inflammation by reducing the amount of blood flow and heat rushing to the injured area. (Ice should not be applied for more than 20 minutes at a time or tissue damage may occur). Following ice, compressing the injured area using an elastic bandage will also help to control swelling.
CoolXChange® is an innovative gel bandage which advances R.I.C.E methodology by combining the cooling and compression stages, providing a convenient and effective, two-in-one solution for pain relief.
The CoolXChange® can be used anywhere and anytime – no refrigeration is required. It works immediately and can be worn continuously and comfortably for extended periods, with no ice burns. Self adhesive and with no mess and no smell, it can be resealed and reused.
