The reusable hot cold gel pack from Medline’s Accu-Therm® collection provides a practical way to apply warm or cold therapy according to your needs. Its versatile 13 x 25.5 cm size is easy to position on different areas and makes the pack a useful addition to home-care supplies, clinics and workplace first-aid stations.
The pack is made with a poly/nylon outer bag containing non-toxic gel. Its gel remains soft and flexible after freezing, allowing the pack to conform more comfortably to the targeted area.
One pack for warm and cold applications
The Accu-Therm gel pack can be warmed in a microwave for heat therapy or placed in a freezer for cold therapy. This dual-purpose design allows one reusable product to serve different temperature-therapy needs.
For cold use, place the pack in a freezer for approximately two hours. The gel is designed to remain pliable after freezing rather than becoming completely rigid.
For warm use, carefully follow the heating directions printed on the product packaging. Microwave power levels vary, so the pack should be heated gradually. Always knead the pack as directed to distribute the warmth and check its temperature before application.
Reusable and easy to maintain
Unlike an instant pack intended for a single application, the Accu-Therm pack can be used repeatedly when properly handled and maintained.
Its surface can be cleaned with soap and water after use. Inspect the pack before each application and discontinue use if the outer bag is punctured, damaged or leaking.
Reusable construction makes this gel pack a convenient choice for individuals and organizations that want to keep a hot and cold therapy option readily available.
Practical 13 x 25.5 cm size
The 13 x 25.5 cm, or 5 x 10 in, format offers a useful surface area while remaining easy to handle and store. It may be positioned over different areas according to the instructions provided by a healthcare professional.
Because the gel remains flexible when cold, the pack can follow the contours of the targeted area more easily than a completely rigid frozen pack.
The rectangular format also fits conveniently in many freezers, treatment rooms and first-aid storage areas.

The Accu-Therm reusable hot cold gel pack may be useful in several environments, including:
- Personal and household care
- Medical and rehabilitation clinics
- Physiotherapy clinics
- Chiropractic clinics
- Long-term care and residential facilities
- Home-care organizations
- Sports and fitness facilities

Directions and important precautions
Read and follow all directions and warnings printed on the product packaging before use.
Inspect the gel pack before every application. Do not use it if the outer bag is punctured, damaged or leaking.
Always wrap the pack in a dry, soft cloth or towel before placing it against the skin. Never apply a heated or frozen gel pack directly to bare skin. Check the skin and temperature regularly during use.
Do not overheat the pack. Microwave wattages vary, and excessive heating may damage the outer bag or create a burn hazard. Allow the pack to cool if it feels too hot and always test its temperature before application.
Adult supervision is recommended when the pack is used by or around children. Individuals with circulatory conditions, diabetes, reduced skin sensitivity or other medical concerns should consult a healthcare professional before using hot or cold therapy.
This product is intended for external use only.
