August is Pain Awareness Month! In light of bringing recognition to pain awareness, SWT is highlighting 5 key benefits of our Hot and Cold Therapy products and how our unique Elasto-Gel technology is unlike anything else on the market.
Moist Heat
Most therapy packs utilize hydrogels for their heating and cooling properties. However, Elasto-Gel is the only one that employs the added benefits of a glycerin base. By adding glycerin to our hydrogel, it allows for a moist heating sensation when applied to areas of pain (unlike a heating pad or rice bag).
Stretch Material and Straps
All of our therapy products are covered in a stretchy material that allows for increased conformity to the body when applied so it does not reduce movement. Additionally, our therapy products for specific body parts include an attached strap that increases mobility by allowing free movement of the user.
Bonus: Elasto-Gel doesn’t lose any of its mobility or become stiff even at -20ºF
Penetrating Heat and Cooling Sensations
One of the many complaints with various hot and cold packs on the market is that their temperatures are shocking to the nerves when applied. Because of our unique Elasto-Gel, the sensations penetrate deep into the skin without creating discomfort or pain from sharp temperatures.
Maintains Temperature
We’ve all had experiences with hot and cold packs that lose their temperature seemingly in seconds or packs that require long, tedious steps to effectively use. With our patented Elasto-Gel technology, products can be prepared conveniently and maintain their temperature up to 30 minutes.
It’s Reusable!
While drugstore options like topical creams are cheap and convenient, they’re only good for a one time use. For people who experience chronic pain, are accident prone, or just like relaxing after a long day, reusable therapy products offer convenience, cost efficiency, and reliability.
Bonus: Elasto-Gel won’t dry out or leak if punctured making it a product that will last for years
