Description

The Pelican Heat/Cold Pack - Single Shoulder is filled with lupin seeds which effectively retain both heat or cold. They are lightweight with a low odour after heating, compared to wheat. Heat therapy may help relieve aches and stiffness, while cold therapy may help ease swelling and pain. Both heat and cold therapies may help ease symptoms of arthritis.

Key Features

  • Heat Pack: For muscle pain or stiffness. Heat therapy dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow, delivering nutrients and oxygen to promote healing.
  • Cold Pack: For acute injuries, such as sprains (within 2-3 days). Cold therapy constricts blood vessels, reducing blood flow and swelling.
  • Microwave Safe: Follow Australian Standard (AS/NZS 5116:2016) for safe heating.

Additional Information

Some people may use the Pack for cold therapy to reduce swelling, then after a day or two, use it for heat therapy to relax their muscles. Always wear clothing between your bare skin and the Heat/Cold Pack to create a barrier to help prevent burns or frostbite and to keep the Pack clean from things like sweat, moisturiser, etc.

Cleaning

The Heat/Cold Pack should not be immersed in water. If cleaning the Pack is necessary, wipe it down with warm soapy water without wetting the beans inside. Redistribute the beans afterwards to prevent moisture retention. Air dry. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Ensure the product is dry before using or storing.

Important

Instruction Guide Only. Before using any of these Packs, we recommend consulting with a medical professional.

  • This Heat/Cold Pack is intended for use only on the designated areas as specified in the instructions. Misuse may lead to injury or irritation.
  • Never use a Heat Pack as a hot water bottle in bed as this traps the heat under the covers and may cause a fire.
  • Avoid prolonged use of either heat or cold therapy to prevent skin irritation or damage.
  • Discontinue use if you experience discomfort, irritation, or unusual sensations.

IMPORTANT: Keep instructions with your Pack—READ before every use. NOT RECOMMENDED for people who may have reduced awareness of temperature or feeling in their skin, e.g. diabetics, people with nerve damage, or people with an impairment that prevents them recognising they may be burnt.
