Imagine the cold energy in a solid block of ice.
Imagine that wrapped and bending just-right over your injury.
That's this ice pack.
They fit better, stay colder, work faster, target pain better, and last longer!

Only ColdCure® gel packs contain our unique XC RigiGel® formula. XC RigiGel® is soft to the touch but doesn't move around under pressure. This means it stays in place to treat your injury, so you get an even and consistent cold treatment over the entire injured area, every time. No matter how hard you press on the gel, it stays in place. It will give a bit for comfort but it won't move away from your painful injury.
Keeping the cold on your injured wrist throughout treatment is very important if you want to relieve the pain and swelling as quickly as possible. Unlike traditional ice packs, XC RigiGel® doesn't flow away to other parts of the pack, even when put under heavy pressure for long periods of time. When inside the wrap, our gel packs conform perfectly to your wrist. In terms of flex and form, XC RigiGel® packs feel the same at room temperature as they do straight out of the freezer. They're firm yet flexible at any temperature for the most comfortable treatments possible.
While the gel itself doesn't move around inside the pack, the cold energy does. Traditional ice packs have hot and cold spots, but our XC RigiGel® formula distributes the cold energy evenly throughout the pack. When cold pressure is applied to a wrist injury, the gel starts to warm up in that specific spot faster than the rest of the pack. Our temperature-balancing gel works to move the cold where it's needed within the gel pack, eliminating the potential for hot spots. This means your painful wrist injury will receive the cooling power of the entire gel pack every time you apply it out of the freezer.
The Walgreens factory tested our gel and found that pound for pound, our gel held over 3x more cold than the best gel they had to offer. The results were staggering.
Not only do XC RigiGel® packs hold more cold, they also cover a larger area and contain 3x more gel per pack than standard cold packs.
This makes a huge difference in the treatment you receive.
Most traditional cold packs only contain a little bit of gel, because a gel pack with tons of gel is a lot more expensive to make.
But if you really want to feel better and reduce your pain and swelling, a gel pack with tons of gel is exactly what you need.
XC Gel® packs are the ultimate solution.
A bigger pack with more gel inside means faster and more effective relief of your pain and swelling.
The ColdCure® Wrist Wrap comes with 3 gel packs. This means you can have 1 gel pack inside the wrap for your treatment and 2 more charging in the freezer, so you can swap them in and out quickly to keep your therapy going. ColdCure® gel packs are large enough to cover your injury, but are never bulky. For example, our Leg Wrap comes with 3 gel packs that weigh about 4 lbs and that's just the gel packs alone. Compare that to most other ice packs or cold wraps on the market that weigh less than 1 lb, including the wrap.
The ColdCure® Wrist Wrap provides firm, even compression for superior treatment of pain and swelling.51x The wrap applies targeted compression to the injured area with no gaps in pressure. To be as effective as possible, the compression needs to be uniform and complete, and the ColdCure® Wrist Wrap provides exactly that.
The Wrist Wrap is soft and stretchy, making it easy to apply and adjust. Both the wrap and the gel packs are specially designed for your wrist. The wrap can be worn without the gel pack inside to support your wrist when you're not doing treatments. The wrap is incredibly comfortable to wear.
The ColdCure® Wrist Wrap is ideal for treating the pain and inflammation associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Wrist Tendonitis, Triangular Fibrocartilage Tears, Intersection Syndrome, Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Tendonitis, De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, Wrist Sprains and much more.
Cold therapy is ideal for use on acute injuries, usually in the first 24-48 hours after injury, or longer depending on the amount of inflammation in the affected area. Cold therapy should be the first step in treating any fresh tissue injury because it constricts the blood vessels, slowing the flow of blood. This is important because slowing the flow of blood will reduce swelling in the area, thereby helping to relieve your pain. Cold also helps to relieve pain by numbing the injured area.
It's important to understand that while cold therapy is an essential first step to healing, cold itself won't heal your underlying injury. The purpose of cold is to eliminate your inflammation and help with the pain.
Cold therapy should be used for 20 minutes at a time. You should rely more heavily on ColdCure® treatments after exercise because the inflammation will continue to re-develop when you are active, even if you don't feel pain. Being aggressive with back to back ColdCure® treatments after activity will give your body a chance to get ahead of the inflammation and to prepare the injury for the blood flow that's needed to help heal quickly. Depending on where your injury is located and the severity of your injury, this will determine how long you need to use Cold Therapy.
Cold therapy is not only effective for new injuries, but for re-injuries as well. Your body creates inflammation to protect itself from further damage, so regular use of ColdCure® treatments after activity will ensure that you're always one step ahead of the inflammation. Use cold therapy if you experience any flare-ups of pain or swelling during the recovery process.
Cold therapy isn't necessary for every injury. If you're not experiencing pain, swelling or inflammation, you don't need to use cold and can start with blood flow stimulation.
Swelling is a sign of the body's desire to immobilize the affected area. Swelling means that the soft tissue deep below the skin is injured and bleeding. This blood leaks out into the interstitial fluid in your body. Using cold is a good idea when you have swelling because this reduces the flow of the internal bleeding. Swelling is also a natural way for the body to compress the injury. However, using a cold compression device is much more effective because this helps to reduce the pain, which is a result of the swelling itself. Get rid of the pain and the swelling by using cold compression, and you're that much closer to healing. Cold by itself or compression by itself is okay, but nowhere near as effective as both at the same time.
Pain is a common symptom of most soft tissue injuries. It's your body's way of telling you there's a problem. The pain is also there to stop you from making the injury worse. Your response to pain should be to rest and avoid any activities that could cause further injury.
Without the presence of pain, you risk feeling a false sense of ability that can cause you to overdo it physically, leading to re-injury and a much longer recovery time. Cold and compression are much safer and more effective than painkillers. That's because painkillers interfere with your body's ability to warn you that there's something wrong, while cold and compression don't. Painkillers block the pain, but if you're using cold compression, you can still tell when doing an activity is causing pain. Pain killers should be restricted to times of rest.
When it comes to pain killers, some products are much more effective than others. Some can actually help your injury when used correctly and others will only make it worse. According to the National Institute of Health, our own government body tells us that Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers (>100,000/year) and accounts for more than 56,000 emergency room visits. And acetaminophen (Tylenol) won't help you get better one bit. It only puts you at risk of more injury. If you want help choosing the right pain killer and want advice on how to use it more safely and correctly, give us a call at 1-844-672-9440. We will give you excellent guidance. No charge. No purchase necessary.
To maximize healing and minimize pain and swelling, complete a BFST® treatment right before bed. We can give you advice on medication you can take to reduce the pain and help you heal while you sleep. The BFST® treatment will work towards healing while you sleep, and the medication will work to relieve the pain and inflammation so that you can experience restful sleep. During the day, ColdCure® treatments are the best choice to continue to reduce inflammation while you are active. Our medical grade injury tape, KB Support Tape™, is excellent for reducing reinjury and pain when you need to be active as well. If you're in pain, give us a call now for free advice 1-844-672-9440.
If you apply cold to a soft tissue injury for long enough, your nerves will eventually go numb. This interferes with the signals being sent to your brain that register pain. Cold also causes a decrease in blood flow at the site of your injury, which is what helps eliminate swelling. Cold therapy causes your blood vessels to constrict, putting a stop to the increase in blood flow at the site, which decreases your inflammation. The act of bringing down inflammation also helps to relieve pain.
Most people think that RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation - is the formula to follow when treating a wrist injury. The truth is that ice can be dangerous. Ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing "cold burns" and even permanent damage to your underlying tissue. 27x The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression, Elevation. We don't want to apply ice, we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold - and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.
Ice pack injuries are so common, there are actually law firms that specialize in representing people who suffer from them. XC Ice packs stay in the safe, effective zone of 32°F.27x While blue goo gel packs start out too cold to be safe, they will rapidly rise in temperature. They are only ever at the prime temperature of 32°F for a moment in time. Our gel packs go to 32°F and stay there for a long time. In terms of helping your sore wrist, that makes a huge difference.
For optimum usage, keep all of the ice packs in the freezer and you will get hours of non-stop cold therapy to take away your pain.
KB Support Tape™ provides your injured wrist with extra support and protection. This helps to prevent re-injury. It also works to relieve your swelling throughout the day. Wear it between your ColdCure® treatments and during physical activity.
KB Support Tape™ comes in 2 different styles: Pre-Cut Strips and a Continuous Roll. These 2 styles also come in 3 different colors: Blue, Black & Beige. There's no functional difference between the colors, they just allow you to express your personal style.
The Pre-Cut Strips of KB Support Tape™ are perfect for you if you want to use your tape on-the-go. Since they're already cut into ready-to-use strips, you can just apply and go! Each roll of Pre-Cut Support Tape™ contains 20 individual strips. Each Pre-Cut Strip is 2 inches wide and 10 inches long.
The Continuous Rolls of KB Support Tape™ are ideal for you if you're looking for a more customizable Tape. You can cut the Tape into a variety of different shapes and sizes to achieve a completely unique application for your wrist injury. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape™ that is 2 inches wide and 16 feet long.
The above application is for Bottom of wrist pain where the dot is over the most painful spot. The application that's right for you will depend on the type of wrist injury you have and the location. The tape is to support your injury, so move the tape to where you feel the pain, and apply as needed. We encourage you to try different applications for your specific wrist injury to find the one that's right for you.
While the ColdCure wraps are excellent for reducing pain and swelling, we have other products that are designed to help the underlying injury heal.
Cold reduces swelling, but blood flow drives repair.
Clinical studies show that specialized stimulation can increase localized blood flow by nearly 400%.7x
The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) device uses our patented Energy Web® to bring specially controlled EMR energy to your injury.
This deep penetrating energy works to increase blood flow in the injured area, creating an ideal environment for healing.12x
This is not a typical heating pad.
Heating pads have very little therapeutic value because they only heat the surface of the skin.
That does nothing to heal the damaged tissues deep below the dermal (fat and skin) layer.
BFST® stimulates blood flow from within, accelerating the healing process.
Normal heating pads can't do this.
The medical term for it is "diathermy".
Most people are familiar with a kind of diathermy known as ultrasound that physical therapy clinics use for treating injuries.
While Ultrasound requires a skilled technician, BFST allows people to give themselves diathermic treatments at home.
There is a lot of engineering and R&D behind BFST®.
You can't find this technology anywhere else.
The innovation of BFST® allows you to both rest your injury and receive the high quality blood flow your injury needs to heal.
Physical activity increases blood flow, which is good, but when you have a soft tissue injury, you need to avoid too much physical activity because this can lead to re-injury.
Though rest is required for the body to heal itself, blood flow is impaired when the body isn't moving enough.
BFST® is the only solution to healing your injury with the benefits of both rest and blood flow.
Use BFST® while at rest to promote blood flow in the area of your injury.
This nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood will work to speed up the healing process and help your body repair the damaged tissue.12x
No other product on the market can do what the BFST® does.

Try our products and if you are not completely impressed, you can send them back for a full refund. We know you will love them though because thousands of people already use them and rave about the results.
The King Brand® products shown are FDA Registered medical devices. That is not all. They are also registered with Health Canada which means they get twice as much review.
FDA and Health Canada Registration does not mean that we fill out a form to become Registered. Our claims are quite significant, and because of these claims the government agencies visit for week-long inspections to ensure that the end user is always receiving the safest effective medical devices we can offer. With two different countries of regulators this means our products get twice the oversight, ensuring exceptional quality and performance.
King Brand ColdCure® and BFST® products are FDA Registered medical devices.
They have also passed the Health Canada, ISO 13485, ISO 10993 and IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition approval processes.
ISO 10993 is very important when it comes to material safety.
This standard ensures that our devices are made from 100% biocompatible materials.
These standards mean our medical devices are made from materials of a higher medical grade than even the strict safety regulations governing diapers and baby clothes.
These devices are manufactured and tested to the highest safety standards in the industry.
In doing this, we ensure our medical devices are safer for prolonged skin contact than the highest-grade consumer textiles used for almost all other ice packs.
Just because something is sold in a pharmacy, that doesn't make it a medical device.
The ice packs in pharmacies are athletic and consumer goods, not medical devices.
We chose this medical-grade pathway because injury recovery requires days of contact, and your skin safety is non-negotiable.
King Brand products are, in fact, hospital grade through and through.
ISO-60601 is the International Standard for Medical Device safety from an electrical standpoint.
In spite of the BFST® being an electrical device, BFST® can be used in hospital emergency rooms and operating rooms without affecting other equipment.
You can use any medical device with a BFST® and neither device will know the other one is there.
This is a very tough standard to meet, but we do it and you benefit.
King Brand products meet over 20 different safety and quality standards that are not required even for medical devices and FDA registration.
If we think there is anything that can be done to make our products safer and more effective, we have done it.
That is the approach to everything we do and that is why our company and products are so highly regarded.
