How to use the Relief Pak® Cold n’ Hot® Donut®

Here’s the scenario: you’re running along on your favorite route when your ankle starts to hurt. At first, it’s a little nagging pain, but it gets worse with every step. You’ve experienced this before and know that with a little rest and cold therapy it will feel better.

Cold packs are perfect for treating sore muscles and joints. With dozens of options out there, it can be hard to figure out which one is best for you. We have a number that you can choose from, but one of our favorites is the Relief Pak® Cold n’ Hot® Donut® compression sleeve.

The Donut® compression sleeve is one of our favorites for a number of reasons:

• It offers both hot and cold therapy as well as provides compression
• The pack rolls on and stays in place without straps
• It is available in five sizes for different areas of the body

Here’s how you use the Relief Pak® Cold n’ Hot® Donut® compression sleeve:

Step 1

Talk to your primary healthcare provider. Individuals with circulatory problems should not use the Donut sleeve unless under the direction of a physician.

Step 2

Slip the insulating gauze liner or equivalent cloth on the limb in need of treatment. Never place the warmed or frozen pack directly on the skin. Always use the liner to prevent frostbite or burns.

Step 3

Insert the limb into the sleeve and gently roll it into place.

Step 4

Relax, and leave the pack in place for 20 minutes. Do not exceed 20 minutes for cold applications.

Step 5

When finished, store the sleeve in the original foil bag or in a zip-lock bag. Keep in the refrigerator or freezer when not in use.
