Cold Pack
The COLD PACK by FEBROMED combines the advantages of an absorbent pad or maxi pad with the cooling power of a gel pad. This makes it a valuable aid for most new mothers. According to studies, the dreaded perineal injury occurs in up to 62 percent of all natural births. Even though medicine knows different degrees of severity, they all have one thing in common: they are extremely painful and can even lead to long-lasting to permanent consequences.
Dam injuries are not a pleasant topic, which is why they are rarely discussed in detail before birth. And yet: In the case of unfortunate tears or even medically necessary incisions, scarring can remain, which can permanently cloud the enjoyment of sexuality and togetherness. In extreme cases, women suffer from temporary or permanent faecal and urinary incontinence.
Trained medical personnel know how important wound care is immediately after birth. Cold usually plays an important therapeutic role. However, some of the methods commonly used so far have enormous hygienic disadvantages, are difficult to handle or offer little comfort to the mother. Sometimes ice is used, which can cause damage in direct contact with the skin and does not always correspond to ideal hygienic conditions.
FEBROMED supports mothers and medical staff in the professional and hygienic use of the healing power of cold. The innovative feature is that the COLD PACK cools itself with the help of a natural chemical-physical process (endothermy). It does not have to be cooled down or kept refrigerated. This means it can be used quickly and stored for a long time in an energy-saving manner.
The use of the innovative COLD PACK by FEBROMED already shows that swellings can be effectively reduced, the cell metabolism is lowered and thus inflammations are minimised. The pain remains under control and during natural birth the positive experience of the arrival of a new life is in the foreground. The COLD PACK by FEBROMED meets the high hygienic requirements of a professional medical environment and is disposed of like a bandage or pad. It is calculated as a single-use product and is economical in use. This makes it the optimal choice for the clinic or birth centre. By the way, the FEBROMED COLD PACK is also perfectly suitable for home aftercare.
COLD PACK
Hygienically combines the advantages of a gel compress with those of a bandage – for perineal complications
Not a pleasant topic: according to studies, up to 62 percent of all natural births result in injuries to the perineum. Mothers are often not prepared for this and suffer physically and psychologically. In quite a few cases, scarring remains, which not only partially deprives women of the pleasure of sexuality, but in some cases even leads to urinary or faecal incontinence. For medical professionals, it is part of an effective therapy to take care of hygienic wound care at an early stage. Preferably right after birth. Cold is the treatment of choice. The positive effects of applying cold have been known since Hippocrates:
- Pain is relieved.
- Swelling is reduced.
- Cell metabolism is reduced.
- Inflammations are significantly reduced.
- The administration of painkillers is significantly reduced.
In practice, the application of cold is handled in very different ways. With possible consequences for the healing success and the sensitive topic of hygiene. Gel compresses only have the right temperature for a short time: At first they are too cold and can damage the already badly stressed skin, later they get warm too quickly. The traditional method of ice in bags or similar can no longer be recommended for reasons of hygiene and patient safety.
The Febromed Cold Pack makes use of the medical effect of cold – hygienically and safely. Compared to traditional methods, the advantages are obvious:
- Self-cooling due to safe endothermic reaction.
- No refrigerator necessary – the Cold Pack is immediately ready for use in three easy steps.
- Constant temperature – no danger from compresses that are too cold.
- Reliably absorbs even heavy flow like a large pad – with the comfort of a maxi pad.
- Can only be used once and is therefore absolutely hygienic.
- Easy application relieves staff.
- Also useful for other applications such as haemorrhoids or proctological conditions.
The Febromed Cold Pack combines the advantages of a gel compress with those of a highly absorbent pad – with absolute hygiene.
In addition to the medical and hygienic advantages for women, the Febromed Cold Pack also offers tangible benefits for the professional user.
Hygiene
Hygiene is a sensitive issue. Especially in the field of neonatology, there is no alternative to the greatest possible safety. The Cold Pack can only be used once and does not have to be prepared for re-use. The bandage can be easily disposed of like a template. The product is packaged absolutely sterile and is therefore always safe and hygienic, regardless of the situation in which it is used.
Storage
The product is self-cooling. This means it does not have to be stored in refrigerators: This saves effort and money. Handling is as easy as with a normal template. The stress of the nursing staff is reduced; they can rely on the sterility of the Cold Pack at all times. This makes processes on maternity wards or in the birth centre more efficient and hygienic – for the benefit of both patients and staff.
For hygienic reasons, the Cold Pack is designed as a single-use product – and calculated as such. You receive an economically usable article which, in addition to the medical and hygienic advantages, also convinces on the side of well-being. An important argument for expectant mothers – and an important argument for your clinic or birth centre.
