Disposable instant ice pack for first aid, sports and physio use
Description
Relief Plus Instant Ice Pack 150g is a larger, single-use cold therapy pack designed to deliver immediate ice treatment for sprains, abrasions and soft-tissue injuries. Free from ammonium nitrate and containing 50% more cooling ingredient than standard instant ice packs, it stays cold for longer and is very economical in use. The pack is activated on demand by twisting or squeezing to rupture the inner sachet, providing on-the-spot cold therapy for bruising, sports sprains, muscle injuries and post-exertion soreness. Its extended cooling duration and higher fill weight make it particularly suitable as an ideal sports and physio product, as well as a valuable addition to workplace and club first aid kits.

- Shake the pack thoroughly to ensure complete mixing and to maximise the cooling reaction.
- Always place a thin cloth, towel or other protective barrier between the pack and the skin to prevent cold burns or frostbite.
- Apply to the affected area (e.g. bruising, sprain, strain or muscle injury) for around 10–20 minutes, or as directed by a first aider, physio or healthcare professional.
- Check the skin regularly during use; discontinue if excessive redness, numbness, pain or discomfort occurs.
- Do not apply directly to broken or infected skin, or to areas with impaired circulation, unless specifically authorised by a clinician.
- Use only once; after use, dispose of the pack as general or clinical waste in accordance with local policies.
- Keep out of reach of children and supervise use in paediatric patients.
- If the pack leaks and contents contact skin, eyes or mucous membranes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity or intolerance to cold (e.g. cold urticaria, cold-induced wheals).
- Use in patients with severe circulatory problems or peripheral vascular disease without medical supervision.
- Application to areas of significantly reduced or absent sensation, where patients cannot adequately perceive cold.
- Use on broken, infected, extensively damaged or diseased skin without prior clinical advice.
- Patients with cryoglobulinaemia, Raynaud’s phenomenon or other cold-sensitivity disorders should only use under medical direction.
- Prolonged or continuous application without breaks or skin monitoring, increasing the risk of cold injury.
Adverse Effects
- Transient skin redness, numbness or discomfort at the application site.
- Cold burns or frostbite if used without a protective barrier or applied for excessive durations.
- Local skin irritation or mild contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals, particularly if contents leak.
- Rare hypersensitivity-type reactions to pack materials or leaked contents.
- Eye or mucosal irritation if leaked contents enter the eyes, mouth or nose, requiring thorough rinsing and possible medical review.
Storage Conditions

- Do not refrigerate or freeze; the pack is designed for chemical activation at ambient temperature.
- Keep in original packaging or designated first aid compartments to prevent accidental activation or puncture.
- Do not puncture, crush or tamper with the pack before intended use.
