Maintenance Protocol

As a single-use product, no maintenance is required after use. To maximize longevity and maintain product effectiveness before activation:

• Store bags in a cool, dry place, away from sharp objects that could puncture the casing.

• Avoid storing compresses under heavy objects to prevent accidental activation.

• Periodically check the integrity of the packaging to ensure no leaks of crystals or liquid are present.

Professional Environment Use Tips

Sylprotec's OHS expert recommends always inserting the compress into a sleeve or wrapping it in a thin cloth before application to protect the skin against frostbite. Apply cold in cycles of 10 to 15 minutes according to current first aid protocols. For optimal operational management, be sure to immediately replace any used compress in your first aid kits to maintain your state of readiness.
