There are two varieties of ColdCure® Shoulder Ice Packs: one which targets the top of the shoulder and another which is designed for the side.
Our ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap delivers the ultimate in pain and swelling relief. Here's what makes ColdCure® the absolute best therapy for your sore shoulder:
These are high quality FDA Registered Class I medical devices, not the low grade consumer good ice packs you can find at the store. Our Wraps fit better, last longer, stay colder, work faster, target pain better, and are made of ultra-safe materials. You can be sure that a King Brand® cold compression Shoulder Wrap with ColdCure® technology is far more effective than any other product on the market in many, many ways. Start feeling better today.
There's no better treatment for shoulder pain and swelling than a ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap. There are a lot of cold wraps and ice packs out there, but none come even close to ours. Our Wraps use both cold and compression to give you the fastest and most effective relief of pain and swelling possible. Our gel packs contain our own unique gel formula called XC RigiGel®. These amazing gel packs have many benefits ordinary gel packs just don't have. You can't find this amazing technology anywhere else.
Keeping the cold on your injured shoulder throughout treatment is very important if you want to relieve the pain as quickly as possible. Unlike traditional blue ice packs, our XC RigiGel® formula doesn't move to other parts of the pack, even when put under heavy pressure for long periods of time. Only King Brand® ColdCure® gel packs contain our unique XC RigiGel® formula. XC RigiGel® is soft to the touch but doesn't move around under pressure. This means it stays in place to treat your shoulder, so you get an even and consistent cold treatment over the entire injured area, every time. No matter how hard you press on the gel, it stays in place. It will give a bit for comfort, but it won't move away from your painful injury.
XC RigiGel® is not like blue goo. XC RigiGel® is ice - but it's ice that bends like rubber! In terms of flex and form, XC RigiGel® packs can still be bent around your injured shoulder, even straight out of the freezer. They're firm yet flexible even at freezing temperatures for the most comfortable and best fitting treatments possible. You get all the pain sucking power of a block of ice, only it bends around your shoulder perfectly while staying dry the whole time. It's really an amazing product.
While the gel itself doesn't move around inside the pack, the cold energy does. Traditional ice packs have hot and cold spots, but our XC RigiGel® formula distributes the cold energy evenly throughout the pack. When cold pressure is applied to a shoulder injury, the gel starts to warm up in that specific spot faster than the rest of the pack. Our temperature-balancing formula works to move the cold where it's needed within the gel pack, eliminating the potential for hot spots. This means your painful shoulder will receive the cooling power of the entire gel pack every time. The hyper-conductive power of these gel packs is unmatched.
We have two different Shoulder Wraps that target two different areas. The Wrap you choose will depend on the area that you've injured. Generally speaking, if you have a Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus injury, or a case of Frozen Shoulder, you should use the ColdCure® Top Shoulder Wrap. If you happen to have Upper Bicep Tendinitis or a Deltoid injury, you should use the ColdCure® Side Shoulder Wrap. It all depends on what area you need to target.
Rotator Cuff injuries are a little more tricky, as it depends on which part of the Rotator Cuff is injured. Pay attention to where the pain is. Is it closer to the "top" or the "side"? Use the Shoulder Coverage Zone image above to determine which Wrap would cover the painful area.
The ColdCure® Top Shoulder Wrap is designed to relieve the swelling and pain of injuries located in the top of the shoulder. The Top Shoulder Wrap covers your scapula, collar bone and rotator cuff and the top of your deltoid. It targets your torso more than your arm. This Wrap will mold to the top of your shoulder to treat Rotator Cuff injuries, Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus injuries, as well as any other soft tissue injuries in the top of your shoulder.
The ColdCure® Side Shoulder Wrap is specially designed to target the arm portion of the shoulder.
This is an ideal treatment for Rotator Cuff injuries, Deltoid injuries and Upper Bicep Tendonitis.
They cover the entire front, back, and side of the arm part of your shoulder to ensure complete coverage of the injured area.
The treatment area includes your deltoid, rotator cuff and the upper portion of your bicep.
Both versions of the shoulder wrap overlap the areas of the shoulder where your arm and torso connect.
Injuries that can be felt there usually radiate pain either down the arm or into the torso.
Select the one that's best for you.
The top shoulder wrap is side specific, right or left.
They are designed differently so that you get the best fit for your specific injury.
The side shoulder wrap can be used on both the right and left shoulder.
Both styles of the Shoulder Wrap come with 3 Extension Straps that you can attach to customize the fit of your wrap. This makes it easy to find the right fit for your unique body shape. Some people won't need much extension, while some people will need more, which is why we include a Small Strap, a Medium Strap and a Large Strap with every style of Shoulder Wrap.
The Walgreens factory tested our gel and found that pound for pound, our gel held over 3x more cold than their brand name gel. The results were staggering.
Not only do XC RigiGel® packs hold more cold, they also cover a larger area and contain more gel than standard ice packs. This makes a huge difference in the treatment you receive. Most traditional ice packs only contain a little bit of gel, because a gel pack with tons of gel is a lot more expensive to make. But if you really want to feel better and reduce your pain and swelling, you need a pack with tons of gel. XC RigiGel® packs are the solution. A bigger pack with more gel inside means better coverage of your injury and faster, more effective relief of your pain and swelling.
The ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap comes with 3 large gel packs. This means you can have 1 gel pack inside the wrap for your treatment and 2 more charging in the freezer, so you can swap them out quickly to keep your therapy going. ColdCure® gel packs are large enough to cover your injury, but are never bulky. For example, our Leg Wrap comes with 3 gel packs that weigh about 4 lbs (2 kgs) and that's just the gel packs alone. Compare that to most other ice packs or cold wraps on the market that weigh less than 1 lb, including the wrap. A ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap with XC RigiGel® contains 10x more gel than other wraps. That's a TON of pain relief!
The ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap provides firm, even compression for superior treatment of pain and swelling. The wrap applies targeted compression to the injured area with no gaps in pressure. To be as effective as possible, the compression needs to be uniform and complete, and the ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap provides exactly that.
The Shoulder Wrap is soft and stretchy, making it easy to apply and adjust. Both the wrap and the gel packs are specifically designed for the shape of your shoulder. The wrap can be worn without the gel pack inside as a support for your shoulder when you're not doing treatments. The wrap is incredibly comfortable to wear.
Most people think that RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation - is the correct formula to follow when treating a soft tissue injury. The truth is that temperatures below freezing can be too cold to effectively relieve pain and swelling. And these temperatures can also be dangerous. Ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing 'cold burns' and even permanent damage to your underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice, we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold - and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.
Ice pack injuries are so common, there are actually law firms that specialize in representing people who suffer from them. XC Gel® packs stay in the safe, effective zone of 0°C. While ice and blue gel packs will rapidly rise in temperature, our gel packs go to 0°C and stay there for a long time.
While we recommend you store them in the freezer, you can store the XC Gel® packs in the fridge if you prefer them to be less cold. For optimum usage, keep one of the packs in the freezer and the other 2 in the fridge and you will get hours of non-stop cold therapy to take away your pain.
Avoid re-injury and a lengthened recovery time by using the King Brand® Accessory Sling. The Accessory Sling is designed to immobilize your shoulder and arm, helping you avoid the painful movements that can lead to re-injury. Shoulder injuries generally take so long to heal because even the smallest of movements can cause further tissue damage. The Accessory Strap solves this problem by limiting movement of the injured area, which greatly contributes to a faster healing time.
The Accessory Sling can be attached anywhere on your ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap. It's completely customizable to suit your needs. It's also one size fits all and can be worn on your right or left arm. Being able to have your arm in a sling while your shoulder receives cold therapy is a huge deal, and you can only do this with our ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap and Accessory Sling. These two products together provide the ultimate treatment for your injured shoulder.
Please note that the Accessory Sling cannot be used on its own or with any products other than the BFST® and ColdCure® Shoulder Wraps.
While the ColdCure wraps are excellent for reducing pain and swelling, we have other products that are designed to help the underlying injury heal.
The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) device uses our patented Energy Web® to bring specially controlled EMR energy to your injury.
This deep penetrating energy works to increase blood flow in the injured area, creating an ideal environment for healing.
This is not a typical heating pad.
Heating pads have very little therapeutic value because they only heat the surface of the skin.
That does nothing to heal the damaged tissues deep below the dermal (fat and skin) layer.
BFST® stimulates blood flow from within, accelerating the healing process.
Normal heating pads can't do this.
The medical term for it is "diathermy".
Most people are familiar with a kind of diathermy known as ultrasound that physiotherapists use for treating injuries.
While Ultrasound requires a skilled technician, BFST allows people to give themselves diathermic treatments at home.
There is a lot of engineering and R&D behind BFST®.
You can't find this technology anywhere else.
The innovation of BFST® allows you to both rest your injury and receive the high quality blood flow your injury needs to heal.
Physical activity increases blood flow, which is good, but when you have a soft tissue injury, you need to avoid too much physical activity because this can lead to re-injury.
Though rest is required for the body to heal itself, blood flow is impaired when the body isn't moving enough. BFST® is the only solution to healing your injury with the benefits of both rest and blood flow.
Use BFST® while at rest to promote blood flow in the area of your injury.
This nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood will work to speed up the healing process and help your body repair the damaged tissue.
No other product on the market can do what the BFST® does.
KB Support Tape™ - Protection from Re-Injury
Too busy to be injured? Have to keep going? Then KB Support Tape® is your "must have". Constant re-injury is often the biggest reason your shoulder doesn't heal. It heals when at rest but when you get back to activity the injury gets worse. Athletes are always taped up. That's to prevent against re-injury while they are active. And KB Support Tape™ is designed for that purpose. Taping is very under-appreciated and very effective. If you have to keep moving, you have to tape.
This is not your ordinary tape. It's wider and stronger and made for larger parts of the body like shoulder injuries. At 3" wide instead of 2", you get more than twice the support when you form the 'X' over your injured area.
The color is purely your sense of style. KB Support Tape™ provides your injury with lightweight, comfortable support and protection for your injured tissue.
