As any sports person knows, sprains, strains bumps and bruises go with the territory. The standard practice for treating soft tissue injuries is the R.I.C.E method.
R is for Rest - This slows down any internal bleeding and reduces the risk of further damage.
I is for Ice – This will numb the pain, reduce swelling at the area, reduce bleeding immediately after injury and encourage blood flow in later stages of treatment.
C is for Compression - This reduces swelling and helps to reduce bleeding.
E is for Elevation – The use of gravity to reduce bleeding and a reduction in swelling by allowing fluids to flow away from the injured area.
Physicool is one product which can take care of both the Ice and Compression part of the treatment, making it a must for sports people and people involved in the treatment of sports injuries.
The Physicool cooling bandage combines compression, with the cooling effect of the Physicool cooling, making it the perfect product for the treatment of soft tissue injuries.
Made from the finest undyed cotton, the Physicool bandage comes complete with an easy to apply self grip strap, which makes the Physicool bandage easy to apply to any part of the body.
Measuring 10x200cm the Physicool bandage is ideally sized to provide adequate coverage and support for any area of the body.
The Physicool coolant, which comes already applied to the bandage is a liquid, which when exposed the air evaporates rapidly, drawing heat away from the skin, similar to the cooling effect of a refrigerator. Where as Ice packs will drive cold in the injured area, Physicool removes the heat leading to a drop in temperature of 10-15°c for a duration of 2-3 hours.
Physicool requires no refrigeration, is easy to use, needs no mixing, has no unpleasant smells and is totally reusable.
