Relief Pak Hot Button Reusable Instant Hot Compress

More Information

• How they work:
  - Hot Button compress instantly generates heat for 30 minutes up to 2 hours depending on the compressed size, insulation, and the outside temperature.
  - Smaller pads cool quicker than larger ones. The compress is recharged by boiling it for approximately 10 minutes
  - The activation and recharging of a compress can be repeated at least 100 times, provided the compressed outer surface is not damaged. Hot Button compress contents are not harmful; they are common non-toxic food additives.
• Activate and Use:
  - Gently flex the disk in the liquid compress back and forth until pad starts to crystallize. Do not bend or break disk.
  - Once the compress is fully crystallized, knead to increase flexibility.
  - Compress will heat to approximately 130ºF (54ºC).
  - Wrap in a cloth and/or use over clothing if compress is too hot. Insulate in a pocket, glove or wrap to prolong heat.
• How to Return to Liquid State:
  - Return the compress to a liquid state before storing.
  - Wrap solid compress in a cloth to prevent it from touching the bottom or sides of the pot. Place into boiling water for 5 to 12 minutes until ALL crystals melt. If ALL crystals are not melted, the compress will return to a solid state while cooling. Remove from pot with tongs.
  - Refrigerate to use as a cold pack but do not freeze.
• Caution:
  - Do not place in microwave OR freezer.
  - Discard if punctured.
