ColdStar Reusable Instant Cold Packs, One Side Insulated, in 5 x 7 and 6 x 9 Inch Sizes, Case Packs
The Reusable Instant Cold Pack pairs instant activation with a pack that goes back into service, and adds one side insulation to aim the cold at the patient instead of the room. It is ColdStar's answer for therapy settings that use instant packs all day and dislike throwing each one away.
- Instant and reusable - activates like an instant pack and returns to service afterward
- One side insulated - the insulated face directs cold toward the treatment area
- Two sizes - 5 x 7 inch packs in cases of 24 and 48, and a standard 6 x 9 in a case of 24
- Made in the USA - manufactured in Bristol, Tennessee, BAA and TAA compliant
Main Description
Most instant packs are a one and done purchase, which is fine for a first aid kit and wasteful for a therapy clinic. This line keeps the no freezer convenience of instant activation and builds the pack to be used again, so a treatment room can work through a day of icing sessions without a bin full of spent packs. The one side insulation matters in practice: the cold face goes to the skin or wrap, and the insulated face keeps the clinician's hand and the room air from stealing the cold. The 5 x 7 size covers most focal work like ankles, wrists and elbows, in cases of 24 or 48. The standard 6 x 9 in a case of 24 covers backs, thighs and other broad areas.

Why Choose These Reusable Packs?
A therapy department burns through disposable packs at a rate that shows up in both the supply budget and the trash. A reusable instant pack keeps the workflow identical, since there is still no freezer trip, while cutting the per session pack cost. The insulation is the quiet upgrade: more of the cold you paid for reaches the patient.
- Lower cost per session - reuse spreads one pack across many treatments - supply spend drops
- Same fast workflow - instant activation means no freezer planning - sessions start on time
- Cold where it counts - the insulated back keeps cold on the injury - less waste into the room
- Less waste overall - fewer spent packs in the bin - a simpler story for the department
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can an instant pack be reusable?
ColdStar builds this line to return to service after use instead of being discarded like its disposable instant packs. Follow the handling directions supplied with the case for your setting's protocol.
What does one side insulated mean?
One face of the pack is insulated, so the cold is directed through the other face toward the patient. It keeps the clinician's hand comfortable and reduces cold lost to the room.
Which size should a therapy clinic stock?
The 5 x 7 covers most focal areas like ankles, wrists and elbows, and the 6 x 9 standard covers backs and thighs. Many clinics stock the 48 count 5 x 7 case as the workhorse and the 6 x 9 case alongside it.
Is a freezer required?
No freezer trip is part of the instant workflow. The packs activate in hand, which is the point of the instant format.
Are these made in the USA?
Yes. ColdStar manufactures them in Bristol, Tennessee, and the line is BAA and TAA compliant.
