gel packs

Reusable cold compresses

Gel packs are sealed pouches containing a gel substance that can be frozen or heated for therapeutic use.

Cold gel packs reduce swelling and numb pain; heated ones soothe sore muscles.

They're also used to keep food and medications at stable temperatures during transport: Pack the insulin with gel packs for the flight.
