Is it possible to reload the pockets with alternate ice packs after the ice has warmed without removing the shoulder wrap?

Would be difficult. But it's not difficult to just loosen the velcro (under arm small strap and main across chest strap), slide the wrap around and replace the ice packs. I find that 2 packs gives me a good 20 min of icing, don't really need much more than that. I sometimes add an extra pack inside the pouches, which can extend it even more.

These are re-freezable ice packs, not the one-time use chemical ice packs. Just pop it in the freezer for a few hours and it will be hard as a rock and ice cold for a few hours use.

Yes. However you'll need to freeze the soup in another container beforehand. Once it's frozen, put the soup into the food save and kept frozen until consumption. The bags can be safely heated in simmering water, or you can remove the entire soup block to a saucier and heat it on the stove.A few people suggest lining your container with a precut food saver bag before freezing, so that you only need to pull the frozen soup and bag out of your hard container - rather than fighting with an ice block of soup.

It does come with ONE large ice pack to fit the pocket in the wrap. It worked great on my shoulder when I fell and broke it.

I have never had that problem, however, if you are unable to remove the blood I would suggest you use a plastic wrap instead of ziplock, to allow it to breathe. I also do not place my Thermafreeze on the bottom of my bags rather on the sides. My freezer bags have a side gusset that holds them in place. Hope this helps.

Haven't had to warm it up....but I don't put them in the 'pockets' I put them where I want them then put the wrap over it...I find the pockets act like a little barrier...but personal preference I suppose.

A trick my mother showed me about refreeze is place two ice cubes in ziplock bag and place in freezer. If the ice cubes are frozen flat the the freezer was off long enough for the cubs to totally melt then refreeze as a sheet of water. This is a follow up to my previous answer for the acu-rite

Yes, you can. They are flexible and can be cut into narrower sections. You might want to use a damp cloth on your skin underneath the ice pack since it is so cold. My husband used them to reduce swelling after knee surgery.

If you keep your cold packs on the frig and not the freezer you won't have any freezing problem. I have immunology serums that I keep for a trip that involves an overnight stay and the serums are still cool when I'' able to put them back in my frig.

Yes you can rewarm. They can be closed enough to accomplish heating them up.

The freezer sleeve is reusable but the pouches are one time use only. Just like the pre made ones.

Emerald: The way they are designed I would say no to the dry ice. The instructions tell you to soak it in water until the individual pockets swell to approximately 3/4" in height. then you put it in the freezer until it is frozen and then use it. It could be used in conjunction with the dry ice, but only as instructed. Hope this helps. Lynda

The answer is YES! (as long as it's not "used up") I've been re-using these wraps for years and here's how: The iron material is air-activated so deny it air. Fold it in half and roll it up tightly with the iron cells on the inside & wrap it air-tight. I use a plastic bag inside another plastic bag with the air pressed out of both. You can also put a tissue on the cells before you roll up the wrap to absorb the small amount of moisture that the wrap will give off after (partial) use (but the tissue is optional). Go ahead and start a wrap that you know you'll only use for a few hours. Deny it air and you'll have hours of use left. The answer is YES!

it's not intended for that use - the water is in a sleeve underneath the padding. I imagine you could get inventive and stick it in your deep freezer to cool it and use it that way, but it's not meant to be a cold pack.

you're welcome. Next time you might ask "how do you put the cold pack on the belt" if that is what you wanted to know. I answered the question you asked.

Pretty simple, actually. Just lay whatever frozen (unpackaged) items you want to thaw on the tray and wait.

Not that I know of...I've never tried. The pack consists of little gelatin beads so I'd be scared to melt them if heated another way.
