Application: HOT

MICROWAVE: Place gel pack in microwave for approximately 30 seconds (if gel pack is at room temperature) or 1 minute (if gel pack is frozen) on intermediate power. After this time, check that the correct temperature has been reached, if not further heating should be done in 10 second intervals.

Times are based on an 800W microwave oven. Adjust heating times accordingly to suite the power of your microwave.

HOT WATER: Immerse the gel pack for approximately 4-10 minutes in a jug or bucket of hot water (ideally boiling water). After 4 minutes, check every minute to see if a suitable temperature has been reached for treatment.

The pack should feel hot to the touch of your hand and you should be able to still hold it without the sensation of it burning you.
