Compresas Frías - SKÁL Fisioterapia Integral

Cold Pack

When you suffer a bruise, a sprain, or are recovering from surgery, cold is your best ally. But not just any cold will do.

At SKÁL, we know a rigid ice pack doesn’t make good contact with the skin. That’s why our cryotherapy packs use a high-viscosity, medical-grade gel that stays flexible even when frozen. This allows the pack to ‘hug’ the injured joint, maximizing its anti-inflammatory effect.

Instructions for Use and Care

Instrucciones de Uso y Cuidado de Compresas Frías

Cryotherapy is simple, but must be applied correctly to avoid cold burns on the skin.

How to prepare it?

  • Keep your pack flat in the freezer for at least 2 hours before using it to reach the optimal temperature.
  • Thanks to its special gel, you'll notice it's very cold when removed but still flexible.

How to apply it?

SKÁL Safety Warning!

NEVER apply a frozen pack directly to the skin. Extreme cold can burn the tissue.

  • Always wrap the pack in a thin damp towel, a damp kitchen cloth, or use a damp fabric cover.
  • Place it over the affected area.
  • Apply for 5 to 10 minutes maximum. (Longer is not better — it can actually be counterproductive.)
  • Repeat the process every 3 to 4 hours if swelling persists.

Care: After use, you can clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap before returning it to the freezer.
