Gelpacksdirect's premium hot cold pack is designed for durability and the soft-touch fabric cover provides luxurious comfort and highly effective compression therapy. Don't settle for low-spec traditional ice packs. Our Premium Version is made from considerably higher quality materials and is designed to stay colder for longer. Whether you have runner's knee, have torn a ligament playing sport or are recovering from a knee operation, this is the perfect product to aid your recovery and get you back on your feet. Included in box: 2x premium cold/hot gel pack (14x27cm). Fully reusable, our premium gel packs may be used hot or cold depending on the intended purpose. The ingredients contained within our packs have been scientifically refined over many years to ensure they remain the top performing hot/cold packs on the market. 2x non-woven sleeve (16x28cm). Made from non-woven fabric, the sleeve provides an alternative to using a compression wrap. The thin material allows for effective temperature transfer from the gel pack to the skin, whilst also protecting from any heat or ice burns. 2x plush fabric pouch (14x29cm) with extra-strong elasticated strap (10x30cm). Made from 100% polyester fibre, with a mesh backing for optimal temperature transfer. After heating or cooling the gel pack, insert the pack into the pouch and place onto the knee with the blue side facing up. Wrap around the strap and fasten with the velcro to desired compression. For more detailed advice, refer to the instructions for use: Heating Cooling Application FR/DE/ES/IT Safety Warning Use as Directed: Follow the instructions provided with the gel pack for proper use and application. Failure to do so may result in injury or ineffective treatment.Do Not Ingest Contents: Gel packs contain a gel-like substance that is not meant to be ingested. If ingested, seek medical attention immediately.Do Not Use on Open Wounds: Avoid using gel packs on open wounds or broken skin, as this may increase the risk of infection.Check for Damage Before Use: Inspect the gel pack before each use. If there are any signs of damage such as tears, punctures, or leaks, do not use the pack as it may not be safe or effective.Store Properly and Cleanly: Store the gel pack in a cool, dry place when not in use. Make sure the freezer or microwave is free from food particles to avoid burning of the gelpack when heated. Review: Great quality and design - much more comfortable than a bag of frozen peas. - Arrived in unbranded plastic packaging. The gel pack is separate from the band so just the gel can be placed in the freezer or microwave. The whole thing has been very thoughtfully designed. The band is soft where the pouch inserts and then stretchy which enables it to fit most sizes. The pouch fits easily into the cover and then the band is pulled over and secured with a velcro fastening. I have only used it in the freezer. I had a swollen ankle and this was really effective in reducing the swelling. It kept cool and the velcro helped it stay secure. Great price point. Happy to recommend. Review: Great for sore muscles due to computer overuse! - Brilliant, I should have tried this a long time ago instead of struggling with a bag of frozen peas! One of the great things about this gel pack is that it doesn't go completely solid after being in the freezer and can still be flexed. Pop it in the freezer for a few hours then slip the pack into the provided arm band and pouch. The pouch helps protect your skin against freezer burn (the pack gets extremely cold!). It took a bit of practice at first to place the pack around my arm and then wrap the elasticated bandage over it by myself (using the other arm), but you eventually get the hang of it. The elasticated bandage has a velcro type fastener at the end to hold it all in place. I suffer a lot from muscular soreness in my tendons due to using the computer mouse (just below the elbow). For years I've tried heat packs, pain killers (ibuprofen, naxopren, gels) and failed to see any improvement. Within 20 minutes the ice pack was making a big difference! It is recommended to use it for no longer than 20 minutes at a time as it's very cold, but it definitely worked for me and helped the muscles feel a lot better. In combination with a brace to strap around the same muscle I am now able to control the muscle soreness when driving or using the computer (I'm left handed). You can also heat the pack in a microwave and use it to relieve aching muscles, works well for my neck and shoulders. Once it had defrosted I warmed it for about a minute in a 900W microwave and then continued as instructed to heat it at 10s intervals until it was hot throughout. Probably best to be careful not to heat it too much though. The pack is obviously a lot more pliable when hot than cold, but it seems strongly constructed and well manufactured including the bandage part. Even after 20 minutes the pack retains its coldness or warmth and can be reused time and time again. Definitely recommended to try if you suffer from muscle pains from modern life. Great service too from Gelpacksdirect who posted it free very promptly and nicely packed to pop through the letterbox. Heating instructions are also printed on the gel pack should you need a reminder. The pack contains a non toxic gel so no worries if it gets damaged. ## Features - π—œπ—‘π—–π—₯π—˜π——π—œπ—•π—Ÿπ—¬ π—©π—˜π—₯π—¦π—”π—§π—œπ—Ÿπ—˜: This Gelpacks Direct heat pack is large enough (18 x 28 cm) to be used as a lower back heat pad, but the handy compression wrap allows for the gel pack to be used on most body parts.

Put it in a freezer, belt holder and all, and it will reach a nice uniform coldness, which is great. For heat it is not so good. The instructions say 30 seconds in the microwave, but I find about 40 seconds is better. The problem is that such a short time produces variable results with my microwave, so sometimes 40 seconds is not enough, and another time 40 seconds is almost too much. Furthermore, when using the gelpack inside the belt pouch provided, not all parts heat up the same. For example, there is a strip of different fabric close to the end of the pouch part that holds the gelpack, and this strip heats disproportionately hotter than the rest. As a result, when you wrap the completed belted unit around your leg or body, the heat of this little strip will sting unless a folded piece of fabric or paper towel is put between it and the body, which is a kind of fiddly and frustrating thing to have to do. For heat I prefer a a cotton covered wheat bag. Mine takes about one minute 45 secs to heat up, and the heat is more consistent and evenly spread out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/186358140-gelpacksdirect-reusable-microwave-heat-packs-for-lower-upper-back-pain](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/186358140-gelpacksdirect-reusable-microwave-heat-packs-for-lower-upper-back-pain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
