VibraCool® Directions For Use:

Place ice packs in the freezer until frozen solid. Remove ice packs just prior to use. Use VibraCool unit only on clean, unbroken skin. To optimize relief of chronic pain, use VibraCool 2-3x daily until the pain is relieved, then use whenever chronic overuse pain flares up.
Ice Packs:
Ice packs will stay frozen for 20 minutes at room temperature. For best pain relief, the ice packs must be frozen solid to avoid absorbing vibration.
VibraCool ice packs are reversible. Face the blue or smooth side of the ice pack toward the skin for more numbing power. If sensitive to cold, the soft side of the ice pack should face the skin.
Tip: For longer icing, prepare additional ice packs (sold separately).
Store ice packs in the freezer. The gel inside ice may deteriorate if not stored properly.
ice packs do not contain Ethylene Glycol, aka “anti-freeze.”
