ice pack

Swelling treatment pouch

An ice pack is a sealed pouch of gel or liquid designed to be frozen and applied to injuries to reduce swelling and pain: Put an ice pack on that bruise.

Reusable ice packs stay cold longer than loose ice.

The term also refers to a large expanse of floating sea ice, especially in polar regions.
