Simple, streamlined and straight-to-the-point pain management. This hot/cold pack can either be used a stripped-down option when you don't want to mess with straps, wraps, buckles and belts or can be purchased as a spare for one of your Polar Products' wraps. By itself or in a wrap, this pack is loaded with great features. Unlike other hot/cold packs that can be stiff and unmanageable, this pack delivers comfortable, deep-penetrating cold or hot therapy that stays highly flexible right out of the freezer and transfers heat out of the injured area faster than many standard packs. When heated, the gel inside keeps its consistency and does not become a liquid.
Pliable whether hot or cold, this Polar Products' Soft Ice pack is a refreshing change of pace, since it molds comfortably to the body to deliver hot or cold therapy right where you need it. No matter where you place it on the body, from the curve of the kneecap to the slopes of the shoulder, the pack is sure to keep up. Cold therapy is commonly used to reduce swelling and pain from injuries such as sprains, strains and tendonitis. Heat therapy works to relax tissues and helps to prevent spasms by stimulating blood circulation and may help to soothe pain.
The price listed is for one (1) cold pack. Prices may vary depending on the size of the pack.

Universal hot or cold pack-soft ice, June 29, 2009
By swimming in vegas(Las Vegas, NV)
I love this ice pack. I have the large one for the back and the size is perfect. I really like that it is soft as well. I have lower back issues and a hip replacement. I am able to use just this ice back on my lower back and mold it around to include my hip. The flexibility of the ice pack and the size makes it the perfect ice pack. I used to use several around my body and it was so uncomfortable.
