APPLICATION STUDY

Thermosenzitive packs are versatile, practical, therapeutic reusable, economical, safe, effective and fun products, constructed of a re-freezable hydrogel that remains conveniently flexible after freezing, sealed and protected in a compact fabric envelope of poly(ethylene) based material that allows maximum conformity, cold transfer and comfort, assuring product durability and effective therapy management. Because of the crosslinked structure of the hydrogels, they will not leak even if punctured. (Product File more…)

The inner material – the polymeric hydrogel based on crosslinked poly(acrylamide) – refers to a class of substances that absorb and retain a large amount of water. As a cooling aid they work by exposing the absorbed water to a large surface area. Since the heat of vaporization of water is about 0.6 kcal/g, and the water phase is 94% of the total weight, cooling effect occurs. It is represented below the rate of heating / cooling for the hydrogels, comparatively with water.

Thermosenzitive packs are designed to be used in medicine cold therapy for different kinds of pain, capable of forming to the contour of the body and assuring complete contact (post-surgery, dentistry, sports injuries). They can reduce swelling, aches, hemorrhaging, muscle spasms, joint pain, headache and teeth pain. Furthermore, it promotes faster healing. Gel pads are stored in the freezer and used for intermittent cold therapy applications more…
