HaseMed Reusable Hot/Cold Compress Blue 13 x 14 cm

HaseMed Reusable Hot/Cold Compress 13 x 14 cm - Compact Gel Pack for Small Joints

The HaseMed Reusable Hot/Cold Compress in a compact 13 x 14 cm format is a dual-purpose gel pack engineered for targeted thermotherapy on small and mid-sized body areas. Its handy footprint conforms closely to the ankle, wrist, elbow, knee cap, jaw line, forehead and cervical spine, delivering precise cold or heat exactly where patients, athletes and clinicians need it. Freeze it for acute swelling, warm it for muscular tension - one pack, two therapeutic modes, unlimited reusability.

Key Benefits at a Glance

• True 2-in-1 thermotherapy: Cryotherapy down to -18 degrees C and heat therapy up to 80 degrees C in a single gel pack.
• Compact 13 x 14 cm format: The smallest size in the HaseMed range - ideal for pinpoint application on joints, pediatric patients and facial areas where larger packs overshoot the treatment zone.
• Flexible when cold: High-grade gel filling stays pliable in the freezer so the pack wraps around curved anatomy rather than sitting rigidly on top.
• Fast ready-to-use times: Two hours in the freezer for cold therapy, ten seconds per burst in a 700 W microwave or four minutes in a water bath for heat.
• Durable, leak-resistant cover: Reinforced welded seams tolerate repeated freeze-heat cycles in busy practice environments.
• Hygienic signal blue: Easy to identify on a crash cart, in a physiotherapy drawer or in a family first-aid kit.
• Reusable and cost-efficient: Replaces disposable instant cold packs for routine use in clinics, sports clubs and at home.

Why the 13 x 14 cm Size Matters

Physiotherapists, sports physicians and first-aiders often reach for a compress that is too large, wasting therapeutic surface on healthy tissue and chilling or warming areas that do not need it. The compact 13 x 14 cm HaseMed pack is purpose-built for focal treatment: it covers a single joint line without extending onto adjacent structures, which improves patient comfort, shortens application times and reduces the risk of collateral cold-induced vasoconstriction. The format is also well suited to smaller limbs, children and slim adults, where standard 20 x 30 cm packs are simply oversized.

Clinical and Everyday Use Cases

• Orthopedics and physiotherapy: Post-treatment cooling after manual therapy on the ankle, wrist, elbow or knee; warm pre-treatment on the cervical spine to prepare tissue for mobilisation.
• Sports medicine and team care: On-field cold application for sprains, contusions and jammed fingers; warm-up for tight forearms, calves and Achilles tendons.
• Pediatric and family first aid: Gentle cooling for bumps, bruises, insect bites and teething discomfort; warmth for earache or abdominal cramps under parental supervision.
• Dental and maxillofacial care: Targeted cold therapy on the cheek or jaw after tooth extraction, implant surgery or orthodontic adjustments.
• Dermatology and aesthetic clinics: Post-procedure cooling after injections, laser treatments or minor excisions on small treatment fields.
• Occupational and office settings: Relief for tension headaches, eye strain, RSI-related wrist pain and stiff necks during long screen sessions.
• Rehabilitation and home care: Regular heat or cold intervals for chronic joint complaints, arthrosis flare-ups and postoperative recovery protocols.

How to Use

Cold Application

Place the compress flat in the freezer at or below -18 degrees C for at least two hours. Wrap it in a thin cotton cloth before placing it on the skin and apply for 10 to 20 minutes. Allow the tissue to return to normal temperature before repeating.

Heat Application

For microwave heating, warm the pack at 700 W in short 10-second intervals, kneading gently between bursts until the desired temperature is reached - never exceed 80 degrees C. Alternatively, submerge the sealed pack in a warm water bath for approximately four minutes. Always test the surface temperature on the inside of your wrist and use a cloth layer before applying to skin for 10 to 20 minutes.

After Use

Wipe the compress with a mild disinfectant or soapy water, rinse, dry thoroughly and store flat. The gel filling returns to room temperature within minutes and is immediately ready for the next freeze or heat cycle.

Pack Sizes for Every Setting

The 13 x 14 cm HaseMed Hot/Cold Compress is available in single packs for private households and in multipacks of 2, 5, 10 and 50 units for group practices, physiotherapy clinics, sports clubs, school medical rooms and occupational health teams that need a reliable stock of compact thermotherapy packs on hand.

Safety Information

For external use only. Do not apply to broken skin, open wounds or areas with impaired sensation. Always place a thin cloth between the compress and the skin to prevent frostbite or burns. Do not pierce, cut or chew the pack. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Discontinue use and inspect immediately if the outer cover shows any sign of damage or leakage. Patients with circulatory disorders, diabetes, Raynaud's syndrome or reduced thermal sensitivity should consult a healthcare professional before use.
