A reusable hot & cold gel pack is a pouch of gel that stays soft when frozen and holds warmth when heated — one pack for both uses. Every first-aid box and sports bag should have one.
For cold
- Freeze for the time printed on the pack (usually a couple of hours).
- Wrap in a thin cloth.
- Apply for 10–15 minutes.
For heat
- Warm in the microwave in short bursts, or in hot (not boiling) water, exactly as the pack says.
- Feel it with your hand first; wrap in cloth.
- Apply for 15–20 minutes.
Safety
- Never put it directly on bare skin.
- Do not overheat — a hot spot can burn.
- Throw it away if the pouch leaks.
