Chattanooga ColPaC C-5 Chilling Unit – High-Volume Clinical Cold Therapy System
/
Chattanooga ColPaC® C-5 Chilling Unit
The Chattanooga C-5 Chilling Unit is the cornerstone of professional cryotherapy management. Designed to meet the demands of busy rehabilitation centers and sports medicine clinics, this 5-cubic-foot unit keeps cold packs ready for immediate use. Unlike standard household freezers that can cause packs to freeze solid and become brittle, the C-5 is calibrated to maintain a specific temperature range that keeps the internal silica gel of the packs soft and pliable, ensuring optimal patient comfort and therapeutic contact.

Maximize Clinic Efficiency
In a clinical setting, time and consistency are paramount. The ColPaC C-5 streamlines the icing process by providing a dedicated station for cold therapy. By implementing a rotation system across the five interior shelves, clinicians can ensure that every Standard, Oversize, or Neck Contour ColPaC pulled from the unit has had sufficient time to reach its peak therapeutic state.
This unit is specifically designed to work in tandem with Chattanooga Blue Vinyl and Black Polyurethane ColPaCs. When stored in the C-5, these packs provide up to 30 minutes of deep-penetrating cold therapy, essential for managing acute inflammation, post-operative swelling, and musculoskeletal pain. Its compact footprint allows it to fit conveniently under counters or in dedicated equipment alcoves.
