Prof. Dr. med. Joern MichaelChief Medical Officer, Clinic for Orthopedics, Sankt Elisabeth Hospital GmbH„Cooling and simultaneous compression applied with a bandage is an ideal combination. Anyone knows the house remedy of wrapping a cold pack with a kitchen towel to then put it around the joint. But it only stays in place when you don’t move. As soon as you get up, that whole thing comes apart and the cooling process is disturbed. When you cool, it is important to do so at the right place. An dif the joint stays mobile and can be used, the user has two benefits in one.“ |

Cool & Move .. a bandage, which is comfortable to wear und with which I practically “take along” the cold packs. .. The concept is simple: put on the bandage, insert the cold packs into the cool-pockets on the sides and close the Velcro – done! Thus, one can move about normally whilst cooling the joint in parallel – very practical! Furthermore, the easy-to-change cold packs can be exchanged without taking the bandage off. .. The cold packs can be also used to apply warmth. To do so, just put the gel packs in heated water or microwave them.
