Breast Icing wrap is a cryotherapy kit designed to support post-operative recovery after breast surgery. Cryotherapy is using the benefits of “cold” on body tissues. Breast Icing is designed to reduce pain, swelling and bruising on breast tissue after surgery. It alleviates discomfort helping to reduce the use of pain killer medication. Breast Icing can be used conveniently at home or on-the-go, helping individuals to actively participate in their recovery process. This is a very valuable tool for post-breast surgery patients.

The Breast Icing kit comprises of 2 cold packs with a connecting strap.  The cold packs are be placed into a home freezer to cool, the gel remains malleable even when frozen, so it can be specially adapted to fit the shape of the breasts and ensure optimum distribution of the cold action. 

In a recent RCT study, published in the American Society for Pain Management 2023 *1. The effects of cold therapy on managing post operative pain following breast conserving surgery vs a controlled group, showed significantly lower pain levels for the first 24 hours, and had a higher recovery quality than the control group. The results also showed a marked decrease in the need for post-op analgesics in the “Cold therapy group” where only 4 out of 30 cold therapy patients received additional analgesics within the first 24 hours, where as all the patients in the control group received additional analgesics.
