How it works

  1. Soak it

    Soak it

    Put the Self Cooling Bandage in the can of Liquid Ice and let it soak.

  2. Wring it out, wrap it tight

    Wring it out, wrap it tight

    Wring it out over the can until it is moist, not dripping. Wrap it firmly and tuck the end in at the top.

  3. Keep moving

    Keep moving

    As it evaporates, it draws heat from the skin, and the wrap gives compression. No unit, no hose, no freezer.

Ice is a good idea with bad logistics.

It needs a freezer, it melts, and most of the time it sits in a bag while the heat is somewhere else.

In 1998 Gerard Hassler made the cold liquid: ready at room temperature, worn on your shirt, band or bandage.
