Get soothing relief in a convenient, single-use cold compress you can place directly on your skin.
Medline’s Deluxe Instant Cold Packs deliver the same soothing relief for soreness and swelling as our Standard Cold Packs, but take convenience to the next level with a special no-sweat design that stays dry and can be applied directly to the skin. The unique nonwoven lining acts as a barrier to regulate temperature and prevent condensation, so no extra cloth or covering is needed. Not only do theses single-use cold packs keep you totally dry, but they also activate in seconds and do not require any freezing or refrigeration before use, making them easy to take on the go or use at a moment’s notice.

- Stays dry: A nonwoven lining helps prevent condensation so the pack stays dry during use
- Activates immediately: Packs do not require freezing before use and become cold within seconds of activation
- Easy to use: Simply fold the pack in half, shake and apply directly to the skin
- Grab-and-go convenience: No-freeze, single-use cold packs are always ready to take on the go, and they make great additions to first aid kits
