/
Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPaC®
The Chattanooga Black Polyurethane ColPaC is the premium choice for clinicians and athletes who demand the highest level of durability from their cold therapy tools. Unlike standard vinyl packs, the polyurethane construction offers superior tactile feel and enhanced resistance to the rigors of frequent freezing and thawing. These packs are engineered to stay pliable and conform to the body’s contours, ensuring that the therapeutic cold reaches deep into the tissue to reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery.

The Polyurethane Advantage
The Black Polyurethane ColPaC is designed for longevity. The high-quality polyurethane skin is not only more durable than traditional vinyl but also more flexible, allowing it to hug joints like the knee and shoulder more tightly. Inside, the non-toxic silica gel maintains a consistent therapeutic temperature for up to 30 minutes, which is the clinically recommended duration for reducing acute swelling and numbing localized pain.
Whether you are managing chronic arthritis, acute sports sprains, or post-surgical inflammation, these packs provide a chemical-free, reusable solution. For the best user experience and to protect the skin, we recommend using these packs with a ColPaC Terry Cloth Cover or a thin towel barrier during application.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does it take to freeze?
For the initial freeze, we recommend leaving the ColPaC in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Between uses, it typically reaches therapeutic temperatures within 30-60 minutes.
Is this safer than a standard ice pack?
Yes. Because the silica gel stays pliable, it avoids the "sharp" ice crystals that can cause discomfort or uneven cooling. It provides a more uniform thermal transfer across the entire surface area.
Can this be used for heat therapy?
No. The Black Polyurethane ColPaC is specifically formulated for cold therapy only. Attempting to heat this pack can damage the polyurethane skin and the internal gel.
Who Is This Best For?
- Physical therapy clinics and chiropractic offices requiring heavy-duty, multi-use packs.
- Athletes who need a flexible pack that contours to moving joints.
- Home users looking for a professional-grade, long-lasting icing solution.
- Patients recovering from spinal or orthopedic surgeries.
