Supraspinatus & Infraspinatus Injury Treatment

Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Treatment

Healing Shoulder Muscles and Tendons

You don't have to suffer. You don't have to wait.

  • You can reduce the pain and swelling.
  • You can heal quickly.
You simply need the right treatment.


One Super Important Fact:


One Super Important Fact

Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus injuries are generally caused by repetitive overhead motions. If you don't stop doing the activity that caused your Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus injury, it will only get worse.


Heal in Weeks Instead of Months


It happens all the time. A professional athlete damages the Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus in their shoulder. It's the exact same injury thousands of people get, yet the professional athlete is competing again in a matter of days or weeks while most people suffer for months on end. How can that be? The difference is that the general public take painkillers and just rest while the pro athlete takes more action. Professional athletes are using tools to help themselves heal quickly. And the reality is that anyone with a Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus injury can have that treatment too. King Brand® makes those tools. We provide professional athletes with these tools, and we can provide them to you as well.


The Ultimate Solution:


If you really want to get better, here's exactly what you need to do.


  • Wear a ColdCure® Wrap as much as possible to relieve your pain and swelling and protect your shoulder from further damage.
  • Do a BFST® treatment first thing every morning. Do 2 or 3 more BFST® treatments throughout the day. This will help you heal quickly.
  • Support the injury as much as possible. The Accessory Sling can help with this by immobilizing your shoulder and arm.
  • Avoid re-straining the injury as much as possible. Using KB Support Tape® will help with this. Giving your shoulder a rest is hard, but it is very important in the early stages of healing.

Do this and your Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus can truly heal - finally.

The Treatment Process


If you want to heal your Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus injury as quickly as possible and return to your regular routine, use the ColdCure® and BFST® Shoulder Wraps. Start with the ColdCure® Wrap first. ColdCure® treatments will work to relieve the pain and swelling in your shoulder.


BFST Top Shoulder Wrap

Introducing BFST® treatments at less active times of the day and before significant exercise, will work to stimulate blood flow in the injured tissue deep below your skin. This increase in blood flow helps to speed up the healing process. The BFST® Shoulder Wrap doesn't mask the pain, it promotes healing of your underlying tissue. Our wraps are simple to use and very effective. Remember to continue to use ColdCure® treatments after activity to keep your swelling and inflammation under control.


Try to rest your shoulder and arm as much as possible. Using the Accessory Sling to help keep your Shoulder and arm immobilized will help your Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus injury. Avoid any activities that could lead to further injury, as this will only lengthen your recovery time and undo any healing you've done. To further help support healing and recovery KB Support Tape should be applied first thing in the morning to help protect your shoulder and strengthen the supporting tissues around your injury.


Surgery for a Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus injury should only be considered as a last resort. If you do have to undergo surgery to repair your Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus, use the King Brand® BFST® and ColdCure® Shoulder Wraps to accelerate the healing process post-surgery.

Blood Flow Is Essential For Healing


Stop suffering needlessly. Stop waiting for other treatments to work for months on end while you see no results. In order to heal quickly and completely, your injury needs rest and blood flow. You can stop the pain and speed the healing of your Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus with the correct treatment. This treatment is called Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®).


BFST® Wraps bring extra oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the area - a requirement for the body to heal itself. Unfortunately, an injured shoulder at rest often has restricted blood flow, which in turn limits the body's ability to heal. Physical activity will promote blood flow, but all too often it also results in small but frequent re-injury, which extends the healing time significantly and greatly increases the amount of scar tissue that remains. The BFST® Shoulder wrap brings additional blood flow into and around your damaged shoulder tissues while you're at rest, which is going to create the best environment for healing. Avoiding re-injury while receiving nutrient rich oxygenated blood flow to your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus injury while you're recovering will give you the best results. BFST® devices are FDA Registered Medical Devices. They are intended to heal Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injuries. They are designed to accelerate healing.


I appreciate your product, I think it is the awesome product and I think it's very beneficial. When I researched it, that's what I saw in it. With the deep soft tissue healing and understanding that circulation is crucial for healing. I survived being wounded in Vietnam. I understand a lot about taking care of my body and recover because I am 80% disabled or that's what they say.

BFST® Devices are Electrical Medical Appliances that
actively stimulate blood flow in injured tissue.

BFST® devices are NOT wraps or braces designed to simply lessen joint strain.

When your shoulder is at rest, blood flow to your injury is impaired, making it hard for the healing process to move along. Blood flow is the most critical element in rapid recovery, which is why using a BFST® Shoulder Wrap is so important. The BFST® Shoulder Wrap stimulates nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood through your shoulder to repair your damaged tissue and speed up the healing process.


BFST® treatments are very pleasant and relaxing. The effects of each 20 minute treatment last for up to 4 hours. For optimal results, spread your treatments out throughout the day. We recommend doing 3-4 treatments per day. Do one treatment first thing in the morning, another treatment in the afternoon, a treatment in the evening and the last treatment of the day right before bed. Some people experience a slight warming sensation and/or a slight tingling sensation during treatment. This is a side effect of the increase in blood flow to the injured area.


Avoiding re-injury is fundamental to rapid recovery, which is why you need a reminder of the injury throughout your recovery. If you have a constant reminder of your injury, you're less likely to overdo it and re-injure yourself. When people forget how badly they've been injured they feel a false sense of ability and end up making their injury worse. Don't remove your BFST® Wrap or your Accessory Sling after your treatments. Continue wearing them between treatments to act as a reminder of your injury. This will also help to support and protect your injured shoulder.

Dealing With Pain - Consult with us for Free!


Treatment Without Drugs

Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injuries can be so painful and debilitating that it causes us to rely heavily on pain killers. But honestly, pain killers are not your friend. It is understandable that you are looking for the relief from pain. Remember, though, the pain is there to stop us from hurting the area further. The pain is your body saying please stop doing that! While pain killers are a welcome relief, they can be dangerous to take when you're active. Pain killers can completely block the pain signal, making you unaware of any further damage you could be doing to your shoulder. Pain killers should be restricted to times of rest.


When it comes to pain killers, some products are much more effective than others. Some can actually help your injury when used correctly and others will only make it worse. According to the National Institute of Health, our own government body tells us that Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers (>100,000/year) and accounts for more than 56,000 emergency room visits. And acetaminophen (Tylenol) won't help you get better one bit. It only puts you at risk of more injury. If you want help choosing the right pain killer and want advice on how to use it more safely and correctly, give us a call at 1-844-672-9440. We will give you excellent guidance. No charge. No purchase necessary.


To maximize healing and minimize pain and swelling, complete a BFST® treatment right before bed. We can give you advice on medication you can take to reduce the pain and help you heal while you sleep. The BFST® treatment will work towards healing while you sleep, and the medication will work to relieve the pain and inflammation so that you can experience restful sleep. During the day, ColdCure® treatments are the best choice to continue to reduce inflammation while you are active. Our medical grade injury tape, KB Support Tape, is excellent for reducing reinjury and pain when you need to be active as well. If you're in pain, give us a call now for free advice 1-844-672-9440.


You guys are awesome. Everybody's been great. Follow-Ups have been great. I can't say enough positive. I'm glad I made the choice.

ColdCure® Devices Reduce Pain and Swelling

ColdCure® Devices are NOT typical cold or ice packs.

Nothing alleviates the swelling and pain of Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus injuries like cold and compression. ColdCure® Shoulder Wraps provide uniform and complete cold compression for the ultimate in relief.


ColdCure® Wraps were designed to address the need for a cold compression device that does not freeze the skin or underlying tissue. ColdCure® gel packs pose no threat of cold burns. This makes them much safer to use than products that use ice, which can cause the skin to freeze, leading to permanent damage. Our gel packs are completely safe to use for extended treatment durations, meaning faster relief of pain and swelling. Our ColdCure® technology is a huge improvement on regular ice packs.


The ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap comes with 3 swappable cold packs that contain our special XC RigiGel® formula. This unique gel holds its form and doesn't migrate to other areas of the pack. This means it always stays in place to treat your Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus. The gel won't move, even when put under heavy pressure for long periods of time. The gel packs are inserted inside the wrap one at a time, so you can have the other two charging in the freezer during treatment to keep your therapy going. Do your ColdCure® treatments in 20 minute intervals throughout the day, or as long as you need the relief.


Removable Accessory Sling to Immobilize Your Shoulder


Keeping your injured shoulder immobile is difficult, but it's important if you want to avoid re-injury and a lengthened recovery time. The King Brand® Accessory Sling is the solution to this problem. Attach the Accessory Sling to your BFST® or ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap to help prevent the painful movements that lead to re-injury.


The Accessory Sling also does an incredible job of supporting your arm. Taking the weight of your arm off your injured shoulder is a huge relief and also contributes to re-injury prevention.


The Accessory Sling is made from the same soft, comfortable neoprene as our BFST® and ColdCure® Shoulder Wraps. It's incredibly easy to use and completely customizable. It can be worn on your left or right arm and can attach anywhere on your Shoulder Wrap. Being able to have your arm in a sling while you are also stimulating blood flow or doing cold therapy is a huge deal, and you can only find this kind of solution here.


Please note that the Accessory Sling cannot be used on its own or with any products other than the BFST® and ColdCure® Shoulder Wraps.


Protect Your Shoulder Between Treatments


When you're not doing treatments with your BFST® and ColdCure® wrap, your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus injury is vulnerable to further damage. KB Wide Support Tape is critical in preventing re-injury. You're going to be amazed at how a simple roll of Tape will stop the sharp pains when you move the wrong way. To recover, you need to stop that painful re-injury process. You don't want to re-injure your fragile tissue and make your shoulder injury worse. Apply KB Support Tape every morning to provide your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injury with support and protection.


Why does Support Tape work? Our skin is soft and elastic and can stretch much more than the tissue underneath. When you apply KB Support Tape to your skin, it becomes a much more rigid surface than before, serving to limit how much the skin can stretch. The KB Support Tape® makes your skin a source of outside support to hold your tissue in place from above, helping you avoid re-injury. That's why we call it armor for your injury.


Professional athletes tape their injuries all the time. KB Support Tape provides safe, high grade, optimal armor for your injury. It is made from the highest quality, hospital grade, biocompatible materials which most sports tapes are not. KB Tape is 100% KB Quality.

KB Support Tape - Use All Day During Work & Play



KB Support Tape provides lightweight, comfortable compression to relieve your swelling throughout the day. It also helps to prevent re-injury by giving your healing tissue targeted support and protection, without restricting your range of motion.


KB Support Tape is available in 2 different sizes: 2 inches wide and 3 inches wide. For treating the most stubborn Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injuries, we recommend the 3 inch wide Tape. The 3 inch tape comes in both Beige and Black. There is no functional difference between the colors; they just allow you to express your personal style.


Supra/Infra 3 Inch Taping

The 3 inch Wide Tape is ideal for customizing the Tape to your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injuries. You can cut the Tape into a variety of lengths and sizes to achieve a completely unique application for your shoulder. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape that's 3 inches wide and 16 feet long.


The image on the leftabove is only an example of a shoulder taping application. We encourage you to try various taping applications in order to find the one that works best for your Injury. You should always use the pain as a guide when taping. If you feel pain in a specific area of your shoulder, apply the Tape there.




The Medical Tape Advantage


What sets KB Support Tape apart from the rest? It's not athletic tape, it's medical tape. This means our Tape is manufactured to ISO 10993 standards, which ensures that our Tape is made from extremely safe, biocompatible materials. Our Tape is actually made from safer materials than most baby products, including toys, clothing and diapers. Don't let the big brand tapes fool you. Most of them are made from toxic materials, because there are no standards for athletic tape. Some big brand tape glues even contain carcinogenic ingredients. At King Brand®, your health and safety are of utmost importance, which is why KB Support Tape is manufactured to such high standards.

I ordered my right shoulder BFST wrap to heal from an injury, because of a friend's recommendation. The feeling while the BFST is in use is relaxing, but I questioned if it was really doing anything. What was happening was a quick healing, my shoulder turned around quickly. I wish I started using this BFST wrap sooner. My I have recommended it to other friends who are amazed of the healing power.

    Too busy to be injured? Have to keep going? Then KB Support Tape is your "must have".


    Constant strain in your shoulder and even possible re-injury are often the biggest reason your Shoulder Injury doesn't heal. It heals when at rest, but when you get back moving again the situation gets worse.


    Athletes are always taped up. That's to prevent against re-injury while they are active. And KB Support tape is the best for that purpose.


    Taping is very under-appreciated and very effective. If you have to keep moving, you have to tape.




    Accessory Sling - Immobilize Your Shoulder


    If you want your Shoulder Injury to heal as quickly as possible, do what your body is working towards and try to immobilize it completely. Immobilizing the shoulder is extremely difficult though, as even the smallest movements can lead to further aggravation. That's why we designed the Accessory Sling. The Accessory Sling can be attached to your Shoulder Wrap, to help immobilize your shoulder and arm. Limiting movement of the injured area helps to prevent re-injury and greatly contributes to a faster healing time.


    The sling is intended for you to help you avoid unexpected excessive strains. Remember that motion without strain is good for your shoulder so several times through the day you should move your arm through a range of motions to help circulate the synovial fluid. Never move to the point of pain and you don't need any resistance at all. Just frequent, simple motion is all that is required.


    The Accessory Sling is completely customizable to suit your specific needs and can stick anywhere on your Shoulder Wrap. You can wear it on your right or left arm for complete immobilization of your shoulder.





    BFST® Battery Pack - Make Your Treatments Mobile

    The Battery Pack is easily charged using your BFST® power supply. The indicator lights on the Battery let you know when it needs to be charged again. It takes approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge when the Battery is at 0%.


    The Battery Pack makes it so much simpler to get in your 3-4 BFST® treatments per day, because you don't have to wait around while you're plugged into an outlet anymore.


    *The Rechargeable Battery Pack is specifically designed to work with your BFST® Top Shoulder Wrap. Your BFST® Wrap comes with the components you need for treatments and to charge the Battery.



    When to do Physiotherapy


    Physiotherapy Timing

    Physiotherapists and doctors recommend stretching and strengthening exercises because it helps to promote blood flow through your injured shoulder. But, it can be harmful if stretching and exercises are started too early. Your condition first needs to stabilize, and in order to stabilize the condition you need to rest. As you know, when you rest, your blood flow slows down which doesn't help your injury heal which is why BFST® is so important early on.


    At the beginning of your injury, even before the injury has had a chance to stabilize, long before you start physio, the ColdCure® Wraps will help keep the pain and swelling under control. The BFST® will increase blood flow to get the healing process started. Because you don't have to move to use them, the King Brand BFST® and ColdCure® Wraps can be started any time. The earlier the better!

    Don't start Physical Therapy until your condition has stabilized. When you start, if you feel pain during or after PT speak up! PT is not supposed to hurt and if it does you may be re-injuring your shoulder.

    Use your ColdCure® wrap after any heavy activity and after PT. Use the BFST® before PT and before any other heavy activity. The KB Support Tape should be applied every morning and worn all day long to help prevent aggravation of your condition, including to PT. For many people, King Brand® products, used in the comfort of your own home, are all that is required without having to attend and pay for Physical Therapy appointments.




    Tendinopathy, Tendonitis, Tendinosis, Versus Muscle Injury


    Your supraspinatus and infraspinatus are muscles in your shoulders. Those muscles attach to your bones with tendons that use the same names, i.e. your infraspinatus tendon. You can tear or partially tear the muscle or the tendon and they are referred to as a 'torn muscle' or a 'torn tendon'.


    Tendinopathy just means your tendon is sore or damaged in some way and that condition is persisting. Tendonitis generally means that the tendon is swelling and perhaps has been strained but not clearly torn in some area. Tendinosis means your tendon is strained, and possibly painful, but there is no obvious swelling with the injury. Regardless of your diagnosis, the treatment process is the same.



    Combination Therapy
    BFST® + ColdCure® Treatments


    BFST® for Rapid Healing
    ColdCure® for Pain & Swelling
    KB Tape to Prevent Re-Injury

    Combination Therapy means using ColdCure® and BFST® in combination by alternating treatments, as well as using KB Support Tape. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just ColdCure® or just BFST®. This is because you're getting both the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure®, the healing benefits of BFST®, as well as the protection and re-injury prevention of KB Support Tape, resulting in the absolute best treatment for your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injury.


    Step 1: Reduce Swelling and Inflammation


    A very important part of treating your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injury is to use the ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap to help reduce not only the visible swelling you may see on the surface, but also the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue. You can use it several times a day. Use it anytime you want pain relief and after any significant exercise of the injury even if it doesn't hurt afterward.


    You should rely more heavily on ColdCure® treatments immediately after exercise because the inflammation will continue to re-develop when you are active. Being aggressive with back to back cold treatments after exercise will give your body a chance to get ahead of the inflammation, and prepare your injury for the blood flow that's needed to help heal quickly.


    Step 2: Heal Your Injury


    Combination Therapy

    Introduce your BFST® treatments at your less active times of day and before significant exercise. Keep your swelling and inflammation under control with ColdCure® but do not use ColdCure® and BFST® close together. Use BFST® in the morning, before bed, and after longer periods of resting your injury. When doing your treatments, you should only feel a slight warming sensation. At any time if it feels HOT or uncomfortable, discontinue use as you still have too much inflammation and swelling to complete a treatment.


    Each BFST® Treatment will last only 20 minutes, but the increase in blood flow will last up to four hours. Ideally your treatments should be spaced out throughout the day, so you can promote good blood flow all day long. If you can't do 3-4 treatments throughout the day, your two most important treatments are first thing in the morning, and right before you go to bed. This will ensure that you have a great start to your day and you can rest well at night.


    If you are planning on being active throughout the day, complete a BFST® treatment before any type of physical activity. Always assess how you are feeling after your activity, as there's a chance you may need to apply your ColdCure® to treat any new inflammation generated during your activity.


    The goal with your BFST® Treatments is not to increase on the levels as quickly as possible, but to condition your circulatory system to allow for the much needed increased blood flow. Staying on the lowest level to where you feel any warmth - remember it's just a slight warmth - will be the most effective way to start healing your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injury.


    When can you move up to the next level? You can move up in levels when you feel barely any warmth from your BFST® Shoulder Wrap at all. This means that you've successfully conditioned your circulation and you're ready to move up. Some people can move up in a few weeks, some people it takes a lot longer. Get the most out of each level. It's not a race, it takes time to heal, and it takes time to adjust to the increase in blood flow for your healing. It just depends on how well your body adjusts to the increase in blood flow.


    Step 3: Treat Flare-Ups - Timing is Important


    Do a ColdCure® treatment any time you experience a pain flare-up or after any physical activity to prevent further injury and reduce swelling and inflammation. Remember, staying on top of your inflammation will allow you to complete more BFST® treatments throughout the day.


    Wait 30-45 minutes after your ColdCure® treatment before doing another BFST® treatment. This time will allow the blood flow and body temperature to regulate again. Refrain from using ColdCure® within the 4 hours following your 20 minute BFST® treatment, unless you notice an increase in pain during your BFST® Treatment.


    ColdCure® treatments will slow down the blood flow, which isn't ideal, but sometimes necessary to relieve the swelling and inflammation generated. The BFST® will increase your blood flow which is important for faster healing.


    Step 4: Use KB Support Tape


    KB Support Tape is very important to help with your injury recovery. As you move throughout the day, your skin and your tendons move with you. Using the KB Support Tape over your injury will make your skin less flexible - therefore protecting your injury - without restricting your range of motion. KB Support Tape can be used at the same time as your BFST® and ColdCure® Treatments without any issues, but try to have your first BFST® treatment of the day without the KB Support Tape applied. After your BFST® treatment has been completed, then apply the tape. Removing the tape before the last BFST® treatment of the day will provide the best results.


    Step 5: Complete The Healing Process


    When you're recovering from Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injuries, the pain ends long before you've finished healing. In fact, the pain is usually gone once your tissue is about 20-30% healed. The entire healing process is very complex, and takes much longer than most people realize. (You can click here for the full story). The key thing to remember is that long after the pain stops, your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injury is still healing. This means you need to keep doing BFST® treatments in order to complete the healing process. Doing regular BFST® treatments for several months after the pain is gone is extremely beneficial. Do a BFST® treatment prior to any physical activity. This will act as a warm up for your circulatory system. You should also continue to use KB Support Tape to help protect the affected area from re-injury.

    The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) Wrap is designed to promote blood flow in injured tissue below the dermal (fat and skin) layer. Utilizing our proprietary Energy Web®, specially controlled and incredibly safe levels of EMR energy envelop your shoulder and stimulates blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin. The resulting stimulation brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus, accelerating the healing process.


    BFST Power Controller

    BFST® Wraps come with a 3 level power controller. Everyone should start their treatments on Level 1 and work their way through the levels gradually as they heal. Proceeding immediately to Level 2 or 3 will not speed up the healing process. You need to condition the body first.


    When you first start your treatments on Level 1, your shoulder may feel quite warm. This is because at first, your circulation is poor. The more treatments you do, the less warming sensation you will feel. This is good. As the warmth lessens from treatment to treatment, this is an indication that your circulation is improving. Better circulation means blood flow all the time, not just during treatments. This is the goal. When you feel very little warmth during a treatment, it is time to move up to the next power level. Don't rush it though, more heat doesn't mean better treatment. In fact, less heat means better treatment, so take your time moving up in levels.


    When it comes to therapeutic benefits, BFST® Wraps are far superior to heating pads. BFST® Wraps work to actively heal your tissue damage by stimulating additional blood flow deep below the skin. All heating pads do is bring blood to the surface of your skin, making it hot to the touch. This does nothing to heal the injured tissues deep below. There is a huge difference between a BFST® Wrap and a heating pad.


    The Energy Web® of the Shoulder BFST® device is inserted inside a soft, comfortable neoprene wrap. The wrap molds the Energy Web® around your Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus so you get an even distribution of energy over the entire injured area. The 3 Extension Straps included with the Shoulder Wrap allow you to find the right fit for your body. When your treatment ends, keep wearing the BFST® Wrap to provide your shoulder with light support and protection. Simply unplug the device from the outlet and further tighten the straps.

    The product is made well, and the design works really good. I was in desperate need of this particular product for my right shoulder injury... I will be ordering more products in the future, as well as telling others about your products.

    Medical Function - ColdCure® Wrap - Extreme Pain Relief



    The ColdCure® Shoulder Wrap is an FDA Registered Class I medical device. It exceeds all government and health agency regulatory requirements for cold therapy specifically for use in treating soft tissue injuries. The ColdCure® Wrap applies cold and compression to your shoulder, which immediately reduces the risk of damage that can result from excessive swelling. Doctors and Therapists agree that controlling swelling is a fundamental part of reducing long term permanent damage resulting from soft tissue injuries.


    While XC Gel® packs are designed to be stored in the freezer, you can store them in the fridge if you find them too cold from the freezer. Not all freezers are the same. If you find that the gel is too stiff from the freezer, leave it out for several minutes before inserting it inside the wrap. When the pack is soft enough to bend, it's ready to use for treatment.


    ColdCure® technology was developed specifically to address the need for a cold compression device that does not freeze the skin and underlying tissue. Our gel packs pose no threat of cold burns. This makes them much safer to use than other products that use ice, which can cause the skin to freeze, leading to permanent damage. ColdCure® gel packs are completely safe to use for extended treatment durations, meaning faster relief of pain and swelling. Our ColdCure® technology is a huge improvement on regular ice packs.


    Rest, Cold, Compression, Elevation

    Many people use the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation) formula when treating a soft tissue injury, but most of these people aren't aware of the dangers that ice pose. 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.


    XC Gel® packs contain 3x more gel per lb than other products, meaning they target a much larger area. When stored in the freezer, XC Gel® packs also have 10x more cooling power per lb than other products. This means faster relief of pain and swelling and less time spent swapping the gel packs in and out. Larger gel packs with more gel inside, plus superior cooling power, ultimately means more effective treatments.


    Top Shoulder ColdCure Coverage Zone

    ColdCure® Shoulder gel packs are specially designed to conform to the shape of your shoulder. This means you get an even distribution of cooling power over your entire injury. We don't just use one common gel pack with all of our wraps. All of our gel packs are specially designed for a specific part of the body. Every body part is uniquely shaped, which is why every one of our gel packs is uniquely shaped too. This product has been 100% designed to treat Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus Injuries.


    Our unique XC RigiGel® formula is superior to regular gel formulas. It distributes the cold energy evenly throughout the gel pack, so there's no hot spots like with other products. This means you get an evenly balanced cold temperature during every treatment. It also means your Supraspinatus or Infraspinatus will receive the cooling power of the entire pack. The temperature balancing power of our XC Gel® formula is unmatched.


    XC Gel® packs have 2 different colored sides: a white side and a gold side. They may be 2 different colors, but both sides have all the same benefits that our amazing XC RigiGel® formula has to offer. XC Gel® packs can be inserted inside the wrap with the white side facing towards your shoulder or away from your shoulder since they're not side specific.

    FDA and Health Canada Registration does not mean that we filled out a form to become Registered. Our medical claims are significant, and because of these claims the various agencies have looked deep into our technology.


    We have submitted to FDA our proprietary research and technology to back up the claims that we make.


    King Brand has participated in far more than a basic registration process.

With two different countries of regulators this means our products have twice the oversight, ensuring exceptional quality and performance.


    ISO-13485 Guaranteed

    It is not required by the government agencies, but we are also ISO-13485 compliant and registered. This enforces medical standards that are established by the International Standards Organization for global manufacturers of medical devices.

    ISO-10993 Guaranteed

    Beyond what is required by any regulator, we use only the safest materials in our products. ISO-10993 regulation ensures that our products are made from higher quality materials than most baby products, including diapers. This is the highest bio-compatibility safety standard in the world.

No consumer products are produced to this high standard.


    IEC-60601 Guaranteed

    King Brand products are, in fact, hospital grade through and through. IEC-60601 is the International Standard for Medical Device safety from an electrical standpoint. In spite of the BFST® being an electrical device, BFST® can be used in hospital emergency rooms and operating rooms without affecting other equipment. You can use any medical device with a BFST® and neither device will know the other one is there. This is a very tough standard to meet, but we do it and you benefit.


    King Brand products meet over 20 different safety and quality standards that are not required even for medical devices and FDA registration. If we think there is anything that can be done to make our products safer and more effective, we have done it. That is the approach to everything we do and that is why our company and products are so highly regarded.
