What is it and what is it for?

The Medilast Cold or Heat therapy gel bag in the shape of a balloon is a version created for children to have a therapy at hand that can be applied locally and help to relieve different types of discomfort, as cold is effective in traumatisms. This is the case for bruises, tendinitis and contusions, during which it works as a natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic.

For heat therapy it is necessary that the ball is at a higher temperature than the body temperature. Its function is to relax and deflate. In this way, it helps to control pain caused by colic and rheumatism.

Muscles can also improve with the use of this therapy, only that its use is indicated 48 hours after the injury has occurred. It also helps to relax the muscle and reduce fatigue, as these therapies soothe pain by stimulating the production of endorphins. Hence, they provide a general feeling of well-being.

In this way, this ball-shaped bag can help to improve the condition of the muscles and soothe different pains such as joint pain. In addition, it is an easy-to-use therapy that children, especially athletes, often need.

Who is it suitable for?

Farmaciasdirect recommends the use of this gel pack for children and also for adults suffering from pain, bruises or haematomas.

Those who suffer from stress-related muscle contractions, as well as inflammation caused by surgery, varicose veins or swollen eyes, can achieve relief from discomfort with this pouch.

Instructions for use

For cold therapy it is necessary to put this bag in the freezer for two hours. To place it on the affected area, wrap it in a towel or soft cloth. The application time should not exceed 15 minutes.

For heat therapy, you can place the ball in a bain-marie. You can also microwave it in a plastic container that allows you to cover the ball with water. Heat it for five seconds, remove it and test the amount of heat achieved. Continue testing every five seconds until the temperature is reached.

This therapy can last between 10 and 30 minutes; it is not recommended to exceed this time.

Contraindications
