Hot Cold Pack Sleeve (1)

This sleeve is a fabric cover for a hot or cold gel pack. It slips over the pack so the pack sits against a knee, shoulder or ankle with a layer of fabric in between, rather than straight against bare skin. Each sleeve is single-use, and the gel pack itself is bought separately.

The sleeve is made from a soft white non-woven fabric and measures 28cm x 14cm, sized to take a standard hot or cold gel pack. It is light and single-use, so in a clinic or a club room a fresh sleeve goes on the pack for each person, instead of the same pack being held against one person's skin and then the next. The pack is not included, so you pair the sleeve with a reusable hot or cold pack from the range.

Whether cold or heat suits a given injury, and how long to leave a pack on, depends on the injury and the stage it is at. That call sits with our recovery and rehab range, not with the cover itself. If the pain is sharp or it is not settling, see a physiotherapist rather than managing it on your own.

Straptor is Australian owned and run, with the sleeves stocked next to the hot and cold packs they go over and the wider recovery gear a club works through in a season. Orders dispatch nationally and the range is on the shelf at the East Bendigo walk-in, with phone advice if you are not sure which pack or size suits.
