USL Sport Instant Cold Pack 15×22cm – Single Large Format

The USL Sport Instant Cold Pack 15×22cm is a larger format single-use cold pack providing broader coverage for acute sports injury first aid. The larger 15×22cm size is better suited for covering bigger injury areas — knees, hamstrings, shoulders and lumbar regions — where the smaller 12×15cm pack may not provide sufficient coverage for effective cold therapy.

Activates instantly when the inner pouch is squeezed — no freezer required. Available from Pakuranga Pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I use the 15×22cm pack over the smaller 12×15cm?

A: The 15×22cm is better suited for larger injury areas such as the knee, thigh, shoulder, lumbar spine and ankle — where the smaller 12×15cm pack may not provide full coverage. For finger, wrist and forearm injuries, the smaller pack is more practical. Having both sizes in a first aid kit provides flexibility for different injury scenarios.

Q: How does the 15×22cm cold pack compare to a gel ice pack in effectiveness?

A: The larger instant cold pack provides good surface coverage, though gel packs stored in a freezer typically achieve lower temperatures. The key advantage of the instant cold pack remains its immediate availability without refrigeration — critical for on-field first response. Use as the first response, then transition to a reusable gel pack for subsequent ice applications back in the clinic room.

Q: Are instant cold packs safe to use directly on skin?

A: Do not apply any instant cold pack directly to bare skin. Always wrap in a thin cloth, towel or bandage before application to prevent ice burns. This is especially important with larger packs that cover more skin area. If the pack leaks, remove immediately and rinse the area with water.

Q: Can I buy the 15×22cm packs in a box for a team first aid kit?

A: Individual packs are available from Pakuranga Pharmacy. For team first aid kits requiring multiple packs, our team can advise on bulk ordering options for the 15×22cm size alongside other USL Sport first aid supplies. Contact our pharmacy team for bulk pricing and supply arrangements.
