Salitas helps ease the pain
A GROUND breaking ice pack, which reduces pain and improves joint mobility among osteoarthritis patients and helps athletes recover from injury more quickly, has been launched by healthcare innovations company Salitas.
The revolutionary MORPHO Cryo-Matrix remains colder up to 12 times longer than conventional gel packs and is not wet or messy and is easy to prepare and apply.
It can be programmed to stay at a constant ‘cold’ temperature for up to four hours, as opposed to the 20 minutes associated with conventional gel packs and thanks to it unique matrix structure moulds to patient contours allowing them to receive treatment while exercising or undergoing physiotherapy.
According to the Knaresborough-based Bradford University spin-out, a recent study concluded that if patients used MORPHO regularly it could be more effective than standard pharmacological treatments such as paracetamol to relieve pain and improve joint mobility.
Richard Wilson, managing director of Salitas, said: “The MORPHO Cryo-Matrix is a fantastic solution and has a number of unique qualities, which sets it aside from other cryotherapy treatments across the globe.
“It ensures the injured joint or muscle receives the right temperature, for the right length of time, even when moving.”
He added: “It can be used by top athletes to aid the rehabilitation of acute sport injuries, ease the effects of arthritis, rheumatism and multiple sclerosis and help millions of patients recover from injuries faster.”
