Sportsstar Pink Eye Black with Crayon

The Elasto-Gel packs were originally designed for the professional clinical setting when hot water baths were the only source of warming the product. These packs vary slightly from the family of products as the gel is enclosed in a urethane material. Before submerging the product into water, the outside cover must be removed. Due to the urethane cover, a damp cloth must be placed between the patient and the product to provide moist heat.

It has been reported that some users, especially in the home setting, prefer to use a microwave for heating. This can be accomplished by carefully removing the urethane material. If this method is preferred, do not submerge the product into water or use a damp cloth between user and product. The gel will produce moist heat or soothing cold without having the urethane cover. See additional product insert for directions for use.

The Elasto-Gel packs are designed to be a single product for both hot and cold therapy. They are durable and comfortable, and will not leak even if punctured. The packs are capable of retaining heat or cold for 20 to 40 minutes, making them a versatile and convenient option for pain relief and temperature therapy.

The urethane material that encloses the gel in the Elasto-Gel packs serves a specific purpose. In the clinical setting, the urethane cover was necessary when hot water baths were the only available warming method. This cover helps to maintain the moist heat when used in conjunction with a damp cloth placed between the patient and the product.

However, for users who prefer to heat the packs using a microwave, the urethane cover can be removed. This allows the gel to produce moist heat or soothing cold without the additional layer of material. Removing the urethane cover also eliminates the need for a damp cloth, making the packs more convenient for use in a home setting.

It is important to follow the instructions provided in the product insert when using the Elasto-Gel packs, whether heating them in hot water or in a microwave. The insert will provide guidance on the proper use and care of the packs, ensuring that users can safely and effectively benefit from the moist heat or cold therapy.

In summary, the Elasto-Gel packs offer a versatile and durable solution for hot and cold therapy. Their unique design, with the gel enclosed in a urethane material, allows for both clinical and home use, with the option to remove the cover for microwave heating. These packs are a reliable and comfortable choice for pain relief and temperature management.
