gel pack
Reusable cold compress
A gel pack is a sealed plastic pouch containing a thick substance that can be frozen or heated for therapeutic use.
Cold gel packs reduce swelling and numb pain; warm ones soothe sore muscles.
The gel—typically water mixed with a thickening agent—stays flexible even when frozen: Keep a gel pack in the freezer for emergencies.
Gel packs also appear in insulated shipping containers to keep contents cold.
