Description
Garware MACK Cold Bandage wraps the jaw with cold and compression together after oral surgery, holding its gel packs against the cheeks so patients are not juggling loose ice packs. The Velcro closure keeps the bandage seated while the patient rests, talks and recovers. Practices send it home because patients actually keep it on.
Cold Therapy and Compression for Oral and Maxillofacial Recovery
The MACK is a thermal compression bandage built for recovery from oral and maxillofacial procedures, sized 3.25 inches by 36 inches to wrap the jaw and face. Each bandage arrives loaded with 2 gel packs, so cold therapy starts without a separate pack hunt. Cold plus gentle compression is the standard pairing for managing post-procedure swelling around the mouth and jaw. A Velcro closure fastens the wrap at one end, which makes it easy for patients to apply and adjust at home. The bandage is blue, non-sterile and latex-free. It is offered in a case of 20 for practice stocking and a case of 100 for higher-volume surgical centers.

Why Oral Surgery Practices Stock the MACK
Post-operative swelling control depends on the patient keeping cold on the jaw after they leave the chair. A wrap that holds its own gel packs makes that compliance far more likely than a bag of ice and a towel. The practice gets a consistent recovery instruction it can hand over with the product.
- Better home compliance – a wearable wrap stays on during recovery instead of sliding off like loose packs.
- Nothing extra to buy – gel packs are pre-loaded in every bandage.
- Consistent post-op routine – every patient leaves with the same cold and compression setup.
- Two case sizes – cases of 20 or 100 match the bandage to practice volume.
