Heat/Cold Pack - Lumbar/Stomach

The Pelican Heat/Cold Pack - Lumbar/Stomach is filled with lupin seeds which effectively retain both heat or cold. They are lightweight with a low odour after heating, compared to wheat. Special sizes can be made to order. Heat therapy may help relieve aches and stiffness, while cold therapy may help ease swelling and pain.

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 specific heating instructions to ensure safe use.
• Custom Sizes: Special sizes available upon request.

Additional Information

Always wear clothing between your bare skin and the Heat/Cold Pack to create a barrier that helps prevent burns or frostbite. The Pack can also be worn over a hip or thigh by turning it sideways. 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.

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.

Note: The Support Braces must be removed from the Pack before putting it in the microwave or freezer.

WARNING: Pregnant individuals should avoid applying heat directly to the abdomen, as it could raise internal temperatures and potentially affect the developing foetus. Avoid placing the pack directly on your belly unless advised by your doctor.

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.
