How does Hot Button Compress Works?
- Hot Button compress instantly generates heat for 30 minutes up to 2 hours depending on the compress’s 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 compress’s outer surface is not damaged
- Hot Button compress contents are not harmful; they are common non-toxic food additives
How to activate and use Relief Pak Reusable Hot Pack?
- 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 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 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
