Ice & Go Cooling Elastic Bandage
The first half hour from the moment of injury is undoubtedly the most critical for the success of treatment. – Both for athletes who suffer from muscle and ligament injuries and for the average person, who may sustain an injury in various parts of the body. For example, on a trip abroad.
Overload injuries require blood vessel constriction and rapid pain relief, which is why we always see athletes wrapped in ice after an injury. Why? Because the cooling action causes blood vessels to constrict, thereby reducing blood flow, and reducing inflammation and local swelling. Cooling helps reduce the inflammatory process and relieve pain.
Sometimes, access to ice can be problematic – A camping trip in Israel or a trip abroad , the general lack of availability of ice (we said - you must respond in less than 30 minutes). This is where a flagship product from URIEL comes in - the ICE & GO cooling elastic bandage.
