What is an Instant Ice Pack used for?
First aiders and sports medical professionals commonly use instant ice packs for sports injuries, but there are many other ways to use instant ice packs outside the sports world.
Instant cold ice packs rapidly cool on-demand and quickly offer pain relief when applied to an injured area. The instant ice pack’s immediate coldness reduces blood flow in the targeted area managing pain symptoms and discomfort, and preventing swelling and bruising.
Professionals choose instant ice packs for:
Injuries that require swelling and bruise reduction.
First aid treatment of injured soft tissues and joints, including sprains and strains. 
Physiotherapy treatments.
Long-term management of sports injuries.
Reducing tendonitis symptoms.
Soothing sunburn.
Reducing discomfort caused by insect bites or injections.
