Q: is there any way to hold one or two of these well enough on my arm end to end lengthwise so I can be up and around? (Gashes bruises and swelling from below shoukder to wrist from an accident)
A: CryoMAX comes with a pouch and strap so that you can securely strap CryoMAX to a place on your body. It also lasts 8 hours so you can move it from one place to another to cover all areas of swelling.
submitted byGil - 3 years agoA: Yes! I wanted to do the same thing so I bought 4 of them and use the handy straps to link them together!
submitted byAngie - 3 years agoA: 2 ace bandages or 3” wide coban (sticky) - separate the upper and lower arm applications. Will be awkward to wrap. Prob need assistance. 1st time around with whichever you choose is LOOSE with no tension. Next apply gentle, overlapping wraps—firm but not tight enough to cut off circulation. You should be able to slip a fingertip under the edge. Over-tight wrapping can cause numbness or tingling.

Q: How do you get the gel pack to fit into the pouch? It definitely does not just slide in as pictured. Using a towel instead, which has no strap. And I’m in a lot of pain & holding does not help.
A: The pouches that come with the ice packs are designed to fit snug around the cold pack to help keep the relief in place when in use. You may have to make sure to slide the cold pack into the pouch before freezing since there is a possibility it can expand after being frozen. Thank you!

Q: Can this be used on the eyes?
A: Look for the eye specific cold packs - like a sleep mask shape. They also make round ice packs but they aren’t great - kinda ouchy to hold to painful eye. If needed try a combo of the sleep mask plus under that 2 small-ish round or square ice packs. Use the sleep mask to hold the 2 small ices in place. I did this when I had tattoo eye liner done. Limit salt intake and sleep on couch with pillows propping you upright.

Q: Do I put it in the freezer in the pouch
A: Hello! You can simply place the cold pack in the freezer by itself. No need to have the pouch in the freezer, you can place the pouch over the ice pack after the ice pack is removed from the freezer. Thank you!
