COLDFLEX® Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is COLDFLEX®?
A: An exclusive formulation of gelled water imbedded into an elastic, flexible foam material that delivers cooling compression to the affected area.
Q: How does COLDFLEX® work?
A: Once the COLDFLEX® is exposed to the air, the gel-based water evaporates from the COLDFLEX® and extracts the heat from within the muscle tissue, providing continuous, long-lasting cooling action. Instead of cooling the muscle tissue from the outside-in as ice packs do(Cooling the skin first and eventually working through the deeper layers of tissue, with the possibility of frost-bite), COLDFLEX® removes the heat from the body's muscle tissue from the inside-out.
Q: Why is COLDFLEX® superior?
A: Because it conforms to the shape of the body, completely surrounds and penetrates the entire affected area , adheres to itself, and provides a deep cooling action without the possibility of frostbite or freezer burn.
Q: Does COLDFLEX® need to be pre-cooled?
A: No. COLDFLEX® will begin cooling the affected area straight from the jar. For faster, deeper cooling penetration, COLDFLEX® can be refrigerated.
Q: Can COLDFLEX® be frozen?
A: No, except for the "Frozen Compresses". For all other items, freezing causes the product formula to change, as well as making it stiff and unusable.
Q: Can COLDFLEX® be re-used?
A: Yes. Approximately 25 + 20-minute applications. Some products may vary.
Q: What is COLDFLEX® made of?
A: Ingredients: 96-Parts Water, 3-Parts Polyvinyl Alcohol and 1-Part Sodium Borate.
Q: Does COLDFLEX® contain chemicals?
A: No. COLDFLEX® is Non-Toxic, Non-Irritating to the skin or eyes.
Q: Is COLDFLEX® messy?
A: No. Although some of the water based gel may come off of the products, it is completely safe and Non-Staining. Note: Gel may at times adhere to clothing.
