Unimed-Midwest has launched a new ice pack designed for head and facial pain, the company announced.
The Head Wrap with Ice Packs secures at the top of the head with a customizable Velcro closure. Hand-washable, the Head Wrap is available in black only, to minimize the appearance of stains and dirt. The Head Wrap comes in two sizes, and is made in the U.S.
Two reusable ice packs are included with the Head Wrap, each one fitting into a soft, thin fabric pocket on either side of the wrap, to cover both cheeks. Each ice pack is made of gel encased in thick vinyl.
Made of a new fabric called Body Control, the Head Wrap features open cell construction, which maximizes breathability for comfort and wearability. Unlike neoprene products, which trap heat and moisture next to the skin, the Head Wrap wicks moisture and heat away from the skin, according to the company.
The high breathability of the Head Wrap also contributes to keeping it in place. When the skin becomes hot and sweaty, neoprene wraps slip and don't provide any benefit, according to Unimed. The fabric of the Head Wrap has high stretch and recovery, and is also latex- and adhesive-free.
