ThermiPaq Hot & Cold Pain Relief Wraps

ThermiPaq takes the guesswork out of hot and cold therapy. Unlike ordinary gel packs, ThermiPaq wraps use a soft clay-based compound sealed in flexible fabric, so they mold closely to the shoulder, back, knee, or neck and hold their temperature longer than water or gel alternatives. That means deeper, more even relief whether you're icing a fresh injury or applying moist heat to loosen stiff, aching muscles.

The same wrap handles both jobs. Chill it in the freezer to reduce swelling, inflammation, and acute pain, or warm it in the microwave for soothing heat that eases chronic tension, arthritis flare-ups, and sore joints. Because the clay stays pliable even when frozen, the wrap conforms to the body instead of sitting rigid against it — a real advantage for contoured areas that flat packs struggle to cover.

We carry two sizes to match where it hurts. The Carex ThermiPaq Hot/Cold Pain Relief Wrap, Medium (6 x 12 inches, TPF5201LP) is a versatile general-purpose size that works well on the neck, wrist, elbow, and smaller muscle groups. For broader coverage, the ThermiPaq Hot/Cold Pain Relief Wrap, X-Large (9.5 x 16 inches, TPF5302LP) includes a hook-and-loop strap closure so you can secure it around the lower back, shoulder, or thigh and stay mobile during treatment. Both are fully reusable, making them a cost-effective choice for ongoing home therapy or clinic use.

A common question: how long should you apply it? For cold therapy, 15 to 20 minutes at a time with a cloth barrier is typical; for heat, similar intervals help avoid skin irritation. Always follow your provider's guidance for injury-specific protocols. With durable construction and easy microwave-or-freezer prep, ThermiPaq wraps are a dependable staple for pain management at home, in physical therapy, and in outpatient settings.
