After 9/11, no ambulances or Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were permitted to carry any hazardous materials within their vehicles. Surprisingly, one of the most dangerous, explosive and hazardous materials is found in most of the instant cold packs out there today.
Ammonium Nitrate (AN) is globally distributed and has led to or contributed to accidental explosions and plotted terrorist attack. Shockingly, there is little restriction in obtaining one of the most hazardous materials, Ammonium Nitrate (AN). This dangerous component is found in safety and first aid products such as instant cold packs, commonly found in households, schools, the workplace etc. Believe it or not, institutions such as firehouses and hospitals are carrying these cold packs with the explosive substance AN unaware of the potential dangers. Now, Nortech is taking a proactive approach to the saying “for every hazardous substance there is a safer alternative.”
The company is one of the first providers to integrate and deliver a revolutionary cold pack that stays colder longer. InstaKool Instant Cold Packs are used in first aid situations to serve immediate cold therapy to relieve the pain and swelling caused by sprains, strains, contusions, minor burns, toothaches, insect bites, etc. InstaKool is designed to meet all cryo-therapy and modality needs. It quickly helps reduce swelling, ease pain and promote faster recovery for any conditions requiring cold therapy.
