The science of ice compression therapy.

Cold One® Ice Packs with Compression

Proof that ice and compression stops pain and swelling

When you have a soft tissue injury doctors recommend icing for 15-20 minutes and compression (in addition to rest and elevation) for sprains, strains, arthritis, pre-surgery, and post-surgery healing.

When your doctor orders ice and compression, applying them at the same time and at the correct temperature produces the best results, and that is the genius behind the design of Cold One®.  Our ice wraps maintain a constant Ice temperature for 15-20 minutes as recommended by Orthopedic MDs for safe icing.   (Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic)

Safety and convenience are built into each Cold One® Ice Wrap.  Segmented ice cells which maintain the constant temperature of Ice for 15 to 20 minutes are sewn into each ice wrap.  Cold One® Ice Wraps are safe from over-icing, providing medically advised icing and without any melting mess.

All medical professionals agree that icing and compression help your injured joints and muscles work better and reduce pain and swelling. Why endure more days of suffering while wasting time and money trying things that don't work?  Check the science behind the claims  and you'll see that icing at a constant ice temperature for 15-20 minutes and applying compression is the standard protocol.

When buying any medical device always look for the repeatable double blind scientifically published studies to discover if there is any proof of the beneficial result marketers claim. Fortunately, there is plenty of proof of the value of ice and compression to stop pain and swelling.  That is why doctors recommend it as the primary first aid for soft tissue injuries.

Here are some of many interesting double-blind studies proving the effectiveness of ice and compression as an aid in promoting healing while relieving pain, inflammation and swelling:
