Ice Bandage is the latest “must have” medicine cabinet essential for the first aid & topical analgesic categories. With its cooling properties and its metallic packaging, it will certainly stand out on shelf.
Half of all analgesic sales are generated in pharmacy, which makes Ice Bandage an ideal product to stock . Customers are increasingly looking for natural alternatives to NSAIDS and Ice Bandage, which reduces swelling and alleviates pain naturally, will really drive sales and footfall in store.
Ice Bandage works by releasing an “ice cold cooling effect” to reduce swelling and relieve pain. As soon as the bandage is applied, it starts to chill, reaching an ideal cooling temperature within 10 minutes.
The product is ideal for treating injuries to ankles, wrists, elbows, hands and the head area. It comes in a super sleek, silver, vacuum pack which, when opened, reveals a moist, soft bandage which will cool the site of the injury for up to 2 hours - much longer than ice packs, gels & sprays.

Ice is clinically proven to speed up the healing process for sprains, strains, shin splints and other minor injuries and the cooling action helps promote recovery.
Hazel Richards, Marketing Manager of AHA Medical Services who distribute Ice Bandage, comments, “Ice Bandage is a great development as the bandage maintains a constant and equal pressure which helps prevents blood gathering at the site of the injury. Immediate compression helps bring the swelling down and the cooling relief speeds up the healing process, making it a real must have medicine cabinet essential for every home & sports kit.
“The metallic silver foil packaging will also make the product impactful on shelf, drawing the attention of the customers looking for products which can relieve swelling and pain at the same time. This product is ideal for all pharmacy customers, from the young to the older person, as it offers so many therapeutic options.”
