Description

The Instant Ice Pack Mini is a Relief branded, single-use disposable cold pack manufactured by Reliance Medical and supplied in the UK by Medisave. This compact 100 g pack provides convenient on-the-spot cold therapy for the first aid treatment of sprains, strains, bruises and abrasions, especially in sports and workplace settings. Activation is achieved by twisting or firmly squeezing the pack to rupture the inner water sachet, which mixes with urea crystals to produce an immediate cooling reaction. The pack is free from ammonium nitrate, offers approximately 20–25 minutes of cold therapy, and its compact size makes it ideal for inclusion in first aid kits and pitch-side or travel medical bags.

  • Wrap the pack in a thin cloth, towel or dressing before applying to the skin to avoid cold-burns or frostbite-like injury.
  • Apply to the affected area for up to 15–20 minutes at a time, monitoring the skin regularly, especially in children, the elderly or those with reduced sensation.
  • If needed, allow the skin to return to normal temperature before reapplying another cold pack, in line with local clinical guidance (e.g. R.I.C.E. protocol).
  • Do not puncture or ingest the contents; if the pack leaks, avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes and wash skin with water.
  • After use, dispose of the pack as general waste in accordance with local regulations; it is not reusable.
  • Keep out of reach of children unless under adult supervision.
  • Always seek medical advice for serious, persistent or uncertain injuries.

Contraindications

  • Do not apply directly to broken skin, open wounds or mucous membranes.
  • Avoid use in individuals with known cold hypersensitivity, cold urticaria, cryoglobulinaemia or Raynaud’s phenomenon without medical advice.
  • Use cautiously, or avoid, in patients with impaired circulation, diabetes or reduced skin sensation unless directed by a healthcare professional.
  • Do not use for prolonged continuous periods; excessive cold exposure may cause skin damage or frostbite-like injury.
  • Not for ingestion; keep away from mouth and eyes. If contents are ingested or come into contact with eyes, seek medical advice immediately.
  • Discontinue use if excessive pain, numbness, discolouration or irritation of the skin occurs.

Adverse Effects

  • Transient redness or mild discomfort at the application site due to cold exposure.
  • Risk of cold-induced skin damage or frostbite-like injury if applied directly to skin without a barrier or used for excessive durations.

  • Very rare allergic or sensitivity reactions to pack materials or contents in susceptible individuals.

Storage Conditions

  • Store at room temperature in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Do not expose to temperatures above those stated on the packaging (typically avoid high heat that may weaken the outer pouch).
  • Do not freeze or refrigerate prior to use; the pack is designed to activate from ambient temperature.
  • Keep in original packaging or in a dry section of a first aid kit to protect from puncture or damage.
  • Keep out of reach of young children when not in supervised use.
