GENERAL GUIDELINES

You can apply the back wrap directly on your skin, BUT please exercise extreme caution and care since excessive heat or cold can lead to burns. Therefore, if ever the temperature is too hot or cold for you, you can always wrap additional towels around the wrap.
If the temperature is still too hot or cold for you, please use additional towels to cover the pack.
Limit application of the back wrap to 15-20 minutes at a time (this is as advised by doctors and sports professionals since overusing does not help you heal any faster and may actually damage or burn skin tissue).
If reapplication is needed, apply again every 1 to 1.5 hours. But be reminded that above all, when it comes to extended use, please do consult your physician or pharmacist. Please also do a consultation if ever you’re uncertain on whether you should use this pack for your type of injury or pain.
Dispose back wrap if damaged or worn.
The gel ice pack is FDA-approved and designed for many many times of uses. There are no issues with the contents being refrozen or reheated constantly.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

HOT APPLICATION

Hot water method:

Put 4-5 liters of water into a pot and bring to a boil.
Remove water from heat.
Immerse the back wrap in the hot water for approximately 8-10 minutes.
Remove the back wrap from the water, wipe it off, check the temperature, and use.

Microwave method:
Since microwaves vary in power, you need to find the correct heat time carefully.

Flatten the pack in the microwave and ensure that the gel is evenly distributed.
Expose it for 30 sec. Please stop heating if it starts to expand like a balloon. If more heat is needed, expose it further for 10 seconds only at a time until desired temperature is reached. (Record the total time used for future reference).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Though we have mentioned a standard heating time for the back wrap, it helps to note that microwave powers vary from machine to machine. Therefore, during the FIRST time that you use it in a microwave, please keep an eye on the gel ice pack. If it starts to balloon or expand, stop the microwave instantly since that would mean that there’s too much heat. After that, please take note of the time that it used up. This will then be the standard time that you will use for heating your gel ice pack in your microwave going forward. (Note: Bursting can happen to gel ice packs if it reaches its boiling point / ultimate expansion point so caution really needs to be practiced during first-time use in a microwave).

COLD APPLICATION

Store back wrap in the freezer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
In cases of severe injury, wet the pouch prior to application for greater cold penetration.

Effective in providing temporary pain relief!

By J. Chambers | TOP 10 AMAZON REVIEWER . HALL OF FAME REVIEWER

Last month I had two spinal surgeries to restore my ability to walk. I'm now in rehab to get my nerves and muscles working together again. There's a lot of residual pain, and besides the prescribed exercises, I was advised to try heat or cold, depending on which therapy mode worked best for me. I prefer heat, but cold may be beneficial as well. When Adalid Gear queried me about reviewing their back wrap, it was an opportune time, so I accepted. I have other hot/cold packs, but the Adalid Gear product has some advantages over these, including:
* The cover is a built-in nylon fabric. With some of the wraps that I've used, the covers are separate, if they're provided at all, and they're easy to misplace.
* The stretchable velcro belt is long enough for almost any configuration I might need.

I tried both heat and cold, and both worked for me for temporary pain relief. For cold, I put the wrap in the freezer for about an hour. With our 800-watt microwave, I heated the wrap for 75 seconds, which heated it up to a very warm, but not too hot, temperature. The stretchable velcro belt allowed placing the wrap in just about any position, and it retained sufficient heat for the 10-15 minutes that I used it. My wife tried the wrap on her lower back with cold therapy, and she was also pleased with the results.

It's a nice wrap, well made and having features that make it effective for treating injuries, trauma, joint pain, and muscle spasms.

Therapeutic heat!

My husband is an auto technician and suffers from lower pain and shoulder pain constantly. We I was asked to try the ADALID Hot and Cold Wrap I jumped on the opportunity hoping it would give him some needed relief.

You can see in the attached video, you the gel pack can easily used cold or hot. For cold application just put in refrigerator or freeze it for a minimum of 2 hours. For hot use, place in your microwave anywhere from 60 to 2 minutes depending on the wattage. We have a high wattage microwave and for VERY hot 90 seconds does it, bit too hot 60 seconds, hot 45 seconds does the trick. So you will have to play around to figure how long you should microwave yours.

The Velcro straps hold it securely in place and the heat holds for approximately 20 minutes. My husband repeats the application twice to get optimal results.

One bit of advice, make sure to microwave the gel packs flat and knead them after heating because they tend to have hot spots.

The wrap can works pretty much anywhere on your body from back, shoulder, to stomach cramps.

Get Rid of All of Your Icebags!!! This is the BEST and most comfortable!!!

By NuK | VERIFIED PURCHASE

I have been using this for cold therapy on my lower back and on my shoulder. Being that this has the two elastic straps with velcro, it is super easy to use. No struggling with ice bags or ice packs and trying to keep them in place. With this I pull it out of the freezer, wrap it around my back like a support belt, and secure it in place using the velcro on the straps. I refer to it as my "Ice Belt". You'll find you're not stuck sitting somewhere trying to keep an ice bag or ice pack in place. Instead you'll put it on like a support belt, and go about your business. I can sit at the computer, get up and do some woodworking, put out the trash, etc...and never worry about it falling off. Similarly, when I apply the cold wrap to my shoulder, the elastic straps go across my back and chest, and affix with the velcro. Again, I can get up, move around and do things without the cold wrap moving off my shoulder.

Besides all of the advantages, this hot/cold wrap is priced very, very, very reasonably!!! My doctor thought it was a $50 pack and almost fell over when I told him the price. Buy this!!!!!

Q: Can I apply the gel pack directly to my skin?

You can, BUT please exercise extreme caution and care since excessive heat or cold can lead to burns. Therefore, if ever the temperature is too hot or cold for you, you can always wrap additional towels around the wrap.

Q: How many times can you freeze or heat the gel pack before you need to replace them?

The gel pack is designed for many, many, times of uses. There are no issues if it is being refrozen or reheated constantly. Though the nylon that surrounds it might wore out eventually; rest assured, it is constructed to last indefinitely if handled carefully. (TIP: Keep the gel pack in a dry place if not in use).

Q: On the package there is a stated expiry date, does this mean that the gel pack is unusable after that?

Don't worry, you can definitely still use the gel pack after it has reached that expiry date. The date is simply stated there as a basis to guarantee how the gel pack can still function at a 100% state; because after the said date, it is possible that the heating or cooling effectiveness might not be as optimal as before. (However, please dispose the gel pack if you have accidentally damaged it or if it is already worn out.)

Q: How long will the gel pack stay hot or cold?

Take note that doctors and sports professionals recommend using cold or hot therapy for 15-20 minutes at a time. Overusing it does not help you heal any faster and may actually damage or burn skin tissue. Nevertheless, the great thing about our gel pack is that it will stay warm or cold for that long (15-20 minutes) and even longer. If you really need to use it again or more, we advice that you stop using the gel pack for 1 to 1.5 hours before reapplying; but above all, please consult your physician or pharmacist regarding extended use.
