Installation Guide and Compliance

For cold therapy, place the compress in the freezer for at least two hours. For heat therapy, warm it in the microwave in 20 to 30-second intervals while monitoring the temperature, until the desired heat level is obtained. This product complies with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards for first aid equipment. It is imperative to use a protective cover or a light cloth between the skin and the compress to prevent thermal burns or frostbite.

Maintenance Protocol

This compress is designed for intensive reuse. Simply clean the surface with mild soap or a disinfectant solution after each use. Store it flat in a clean, dry place when not in use. Regularly inspect the integrity of the casing for cracks or signs of wear before heating or cooling it.

Professional Environment Use Tips

Sylprotec's OHS expert recommends having a rotation of at least two units: one in reserve in the freezer and another available for rapid heating. For interventions in industrial settings, prioritize applications in 15 to 20-minute sessions maximum on the painful area. Ensure the compress is easily accessible in your infirmary or main first aid kit for rapid management of acute or chronic pain.
