Tynor Hot & Cold Pack can be used to provide hot fomentation or cold compress, depending on your needs. Hot fomentation can help reduce pain perception and has a relaxing effect, while cold compress can help reduce inflammation.
Prepare for use: To use the pack for cold therapy, place it in the freezer for at least two hours. To use it for hot therapy, follow the heating instructions provided below.
Cold Therapy
Application: Cold therapy is suitable for reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and managing swelling caused by injuries or overexertion. Apply the frozen Tynor Hot and Cold Pack directly on the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time.
Reapplication: Allow the skin to return to its normal temperature before reapplying the pack. You can use the pack multiple times a day, but be sure to maintain a 1-2 hour interval between applications.
Hot Therapy
Heating options: You can heat the Tynor Hot and Cold Pack using either a microwave or hot water.
- Microwave: Place the pack in a microwave-safe container and heat it at full power for 30 seconds. Carefully remove the pack, knead it gently to distribute the heat evenly, and test the temperature. If necessary, reheat the pack in 10-second increments until the desired temperature is achieved.
- Hot water: Submerge the pack in boiling water for 4-10 minutes, depending on the desired temperature. Use tongs to remove the pack from the water and allow it to cool slightly before use.
Application: Hot therapy is beneficial for relaxing muscles, increasing blood flow, and relieving pain caused by chronic conditions, muscle tension, or stiffness. Wrap the heated Tynor Hot and Cold Pack in a towel or cloth to avoid burns and apply it to the affected area for 15-20 minutes.
Reheating: Allow the pack to cool completely before reheating it for subsequent applications.
Precautions
Never apply the Tynor Hot and Cold Pack directly to the skin without a barrier such as a towel or cloth to prevent burns or frostbite.
Do not use the pack on open wounds, inflamed skin, or areas with compromised skin integrity.
Consult a healthcare professional before using the pack on individuals with circulatory problems, diabetes, or other conditions that may affect their sensitivity to heat or cold.
Discontinue use if you experience any discomfort, pain, or a worsening of symptoms, and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
