Cara Hot & Cold Therapy and Infection Control Products
Cara makes the everyday therapy and protection basics that keep a household or clinic running — reusable ice bags, heating pads, and cotton infection control gloves that hold up to repeated use. If you're managing a sprain, a chronic ache, or simply want dependable barrier protection on hand, this is practical, no-frills equipment built to last beyond a single use.
For cold therapy, the Cara Cold Therapy Ice Bag in a 9-inch size delivers targeted relief for headaches, dental pain, or minor swelling, while the Cara Ice Bag and Wrap combines the bag with a 5" x 30" nylon/neoprene wrap that secures around an ankle, knee, elbow, or thigh — one size fits most, so you're not buying a different wrap for every joint. Because both are reusable, they replace the disposable instant packs you'd otherwise throw away after one injury.
On the heat side, the Cara Mini Heating Pad measures 9 x 9 inches, offers moist or dry heat with multiple settings, and is machine washable — a good choice for localized muscle tension or menstrual cramps. For larger or clinical needs, the Micro-Temp LT heat therapy system provides controlled, circulating heat therapy. A common question buyers ask: moist heat penetrates deeper for muscle and joint stiffness, while dry heat is often more comfortable for surface warmth — the mini pad lets you switch between both.
Cara's Infection Control Gloves stand apart from typical exam gloves. These are white, powder-free cotton gloves with a hemmed cuff and fully textured, ambidextrous fit, available in Medium and X-Large. Being reusable and washable, they're favored for dermatological use, handling delicate items, dry-skin overnight treatment, and light-duty barrier tasks where latex or nitrile isn't required.
