Perikompres - Verkoelend Kraamverband
Hot
Always heat the compress without the cover
Microwave:
Heat in the microwave at 900 watts for a maximum of 20 seconds. Every microwave is different so in case the compress is not yet warm enough, heat up the compress in 5 seconds increments. However, stop before the compress begins to puff
Knead the compress slowly to evenly distribute the warm pearls
Hot water
Place the compress in warm (not boiling!) water for 3 to 5 minutes, with the heat source turned off
Always use the warm compress with the cover on to protect the skin
Do not use the compresses for more than 20 consecutive minutes and do not use more than 6 hours per day in total. Wait for a minimum of 1 hour between each use. Using the compress for too long or too frequently can cause injuries such as heat allergy or burns
Cold
Place compress in the freezer for at least two hours before use without the cover.
Always use the cold compress with the cover on to protect the skin
Clean the compress after each use with mild soap and a damp cloth or disinfect with isopropyl alcohol (70%). Covers can be washed at 30℃.
Store in a cool, dry place out of the sun.
