Hot and Cold Reusable Gel Pack - Liberty (1)

The Liberty reusable gel pack works as both a heat pack and an ice pack, so one pack covers warm and cold use at home, at work or in your first aid kit. Use it warm or frozen, then use it again.

Heat the pack only as the directions printed on the back of the pack say. For cold use, keep it in the freezer for at least 1 hour beforehand. It is also known as a heat pack or ice pack.

Before you use it

• A warmed pack can get very hot. Check the temperature before it goes near skin, and wrap it in a cloth or towel before applying.
• If it becomes uncomfortable, take it off for a few minutes before applying it again.
• Throw the pack out if it leaks gel.
• Do not use it on anyone with reduced feeling in the area. People with circulation problems should use hot or cold packs only under a doctor's supervision.
• Children should use it only with an adult supervising.

Cold packs are often used for minor soft-tissue knocks. Our guide to first aid for sprains and fractures covers current advice on how and how long to apply cold, and you can compare the wider options in our hot and cold therapy range.
