Techni-Ice Instructions

To hydrate:

Place the Techni Ice sheet in warm water, then crumple / compress the sheet whilst completely immersed in water so that it releases air bubbles.

  1. Leave the sheet to absorb water and unfold whilst still submerged in water until fully hydrated (approximately 20 to 30 minutes).  Massage any cells which have not expanded.
  2. Remove the sheet from the water and towel dry thoroughly, thus ensuring that any excess water does not become ice on the outside of the sheet during the freezing process.

Your Techni Ice sheet is now ready to freeze or heat.

To freeze:

Techni Ice should be frozen for at least 18–24 hours in a domestic freezer or ice compartment of a domestic fridge.  For the best freezing results, leave Techni Ice in the freezer for 3 to 4 days, the time it takes to reach freezer temperature.

To heat:

Place the hydrated sheet in the microwave and heat for approximately 2 to 3 minutes in periods of 1 minute, making sure that the pack does not become too hot.

 CAUTION: Check to make sure the sheet is not too hot before placing it on the body.  Remove immediately from the body if it feels too hot.  For maximum soothing relief, place a towel between the body and the Techni Ice.
