Our patented formula changes state to form icy snow-like crystals that last 5x longer than gel therapy and can be reused for up to 50 freeze-thaw cycles. The snow-like state allows the packs to stay soft and malleable while contouring to the affected area, providing targeted pain relief. All while being pump-and-hose-free, making traditional coolers obsolete and costly by comparison. To enhance the versatility of First Ice® and provide truly integrated cold therapy, we developed the Direct-Stick™ application of our packs using hook-and-loop. This innovation allows for placing our packs anywhere on our products – eliminating the need for bacteria-prone pockets. Our Direct-Stick™ packs include a soft thermal barrier for comfortable direct skin contact. As a result, our packs are simple to apply, reapply, and rotate between the user and the freezer without any special considerations.
