Two technologies, one shared requirement: deliver the right cold or the right heat, in the right place, for longer than an ice pack or a hot water bottle. Designed to integrate into braces.
Cryopad delivers cold through vasoconstriction: the vessels narrow, local circulation slows, and the sensation of heat build-up and swelling recede. Thermopad delivers heat through vasodilation: the vessels open, blood flow increases, and the tissues relax. Both are reusable, cut to fit many body zones, and designed to integrate into braces.
Same anatomical cuts, same focus on duration: for each body zone, a coherent cold-and-heat pair.
Cold triggers vasoconstriction: the vessels narrow, local circulation slows, and the sensation of heat build-up and swelling recede. This is the mechanism sought right after intense effort.
The limit of ice is duration: a pack melts and loses its cold within minutes. The Cryopad gel stays supple at low temperature and releases an even cold for far longer, with no aggressive freezing point against the skin.
Prolonged cold, supple gel (no rigid block), reusable over dozens of cycles (back into the freezer between uses), and many anatomical cuts that hug every zone.
Heat triggers vasodilation: the vessels open, blood flow increases, and the tissues relax. This is the mechanism sought on a stiffness, a contracture, or before remobilizing a joint.
Thermopad releases a gentle, gradual heat, sustained over time, with no hot spot. The same anatomical cuts as Cryopad, for a perfectly symmetrical range.
Prolonged and even heat (no hot spot), simple reheating, reusable, and every zone with a cold-and-heat pair per zone.
A thermal solution is only worthwhile if it holds its temperature long enough, in the right place, without constraint. That's where everything is decided.
In the acute phase, on an overheated or swollen area, you reach for cold. On an established tension, stiffness or contracture, you reach for heat. Here is how Cryopad and Thermopad compare with conventional solutions.
| Cryopad / Thermopad | Ice pack | Hot water bottle / patch | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Useful temperature duration | Prolonged, 1 hr+ | A few minutes | Short, declining |
| Anatomical contact | Cut by zone | Approximate, slips | Generic |
| Hold under a brace | Designed for it | Not intended | Not intended |
| Reusable | Yes, dozens of cycles | Variable | Variable |
| Cold and heat | Pair per zone | Cold only | Heat only |
Indicative comparison of thermal solution families. Actual performance depends on the pad model, the zone and usage conditions. In case of doubt, intense or persistent pain, follow the guidance of your healthcare professional.
A technology mastered end to end, through a short supply chain, with ongoing quality control. It's a strong reassurance for orthopedics and medical distribution, and an asset for the partners who integrate it into their products.
Non-woven shell, thermal welding of the edges, gel formulated to avoid any freezing point or aggressive hot spot against the skin.
Built for dozens of cold and heat cycles, washable and durable, with less waste than disposable solutions.
Compatible braces may fall under the CE marking applicable to medical devices. Cryopad and Thermopad here refer to the integrated thermal pad technology; no information on this page constitutes medical advice.
