Overview
Gel X combines a unique and innovative hexagonal, internal silicone frame to maintain the gel’s shape and form. Gel X therapeutic packs are equally effective for heat or cold applications. Gel X Comfort packs have a unique, dual fabric design to provide the user with temperature options - soft fleece fabric for a gentle transfer of temperature and a canvas side for more intense temperature for targeted therapy. They are particularly suited to people with sensitive or fragile skin such as children, the elderly, and those with dermatological skin conditions.
How To Use
