Elasto-Gel Shoulder Wrap from HealthyKin.com is perfect for the hard to treat contoured areas of the shoulder, upper and lower arm, upper chest and upper back areas. The product is universal for left or right injuries. The user may perform a series of arm movements or exercises while wearing the shoulder product as it is totally flexible and held comfortably in place.
The Elasto-Gel™ Shoulder Wrap is designed to provide moist heat therapy or soothing cold therapy for relief of minor muscular and joint aches and pains. The hot or cold therapy will last 20 to 40 minutes per application. The product is held in place with hook and loop type closures, which allow the user to move about during therapy. The product is microwavable so it can provide nearly continuous heat therapy. When used cold, the product conforms to contours, even at -20°F (-30°C), allowing comfortable soothing cold applications.
The Shoulder Wrap is made with Elasto-Gel™, a patented gel with exceptional properties for transferring heat or soothing cold. If punctured, it will not leak and will remain usable. The unique combination of specially selected fabric and tough flexible gel provides an exceptional durable product for use in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, athletic facilities and the home.
Cold Therapy Directions: Store the wrap in the freezer for a minimum of two (2) hours. It may be left in the freezer indefinitely until ready to use. It will remain flexible even at -20°F. Remove the wrap prior to defrosting the freezer. Note: Always store products in a plastic bag while in freezer.
Hot Therapy Directions: The most convenient method of heating the wrap is in a microwave oven. Suggested heating times: 600-700 watt microwave: 60-90 Seconds per side. Then refold the wrap (inside to out) and heat for 45 Seconds. 1100 watt: 50 Seconds per side. Note: all microwaves vary in heating and may have "hot spots". Be cautious when heating.
Wait one minute (60 seconds) before using. The wrap should feel WARM to the touch, NOT HOT. Hold the wrap firmly against the skin for 30 seconds before re-heating. If the wrap is not warm enough, heat in 20 second increments and rotate the product each time.
The wrap can also be heated in a conventional oven at 250°F for 15-20 minutes. Place wrap on a cookie sheet or baking dish in the center of the oven. Do not allow the straps or buckles to touch the heating element. Rotate the wrap after 6 minutes, top to bottom and if folded, inside to out.
