Ice vs. gel and chemical packs
Real Ice Relieves Best! Ice maintains the perfect temperature recommended for treating acute chronic injuries.
The process of ice melting into water releases cold with a gradual drop in temperature, reducing the chance of skin damage.
Gel packs may reach temperatures below freezing, carrying a greater risk of frostbite and limiting the duration of allowable icing time.
Leaking chemicals may be harmful.
Chemical packs and gel packs do not undergo phase change and have a shorter duration of cold.
Ice Packs are able to draw four times the amount of heat out of tissue.
For superior and economical cold therapy, choose EME Ice Packs!
