When an athlete fatigues or overuses a muscle, there is typically some type of microtear and bleeding with the muscles. Icing, or cryo-therapy is best used immediately after the injury or right after the athlete completes their performance. For example, it is recommended for a baseball pitcher, after throwing in a game or practice session, apply ice wraps immediately.
By applying the ice to the muscle group areas, the ice minimizes swelling and restricts the blood flow. The ice also reduces any pain and soreness associated with the injury or fatigue.
The Chilly-Billy™ ice compress provides a unique and patent pending apparatus that allows an athlete to put the icing jacket on, obtain effective and efficient coverage of all necessary muscle groups and it’s easy for one person to add the ice. The patented saddle compartment design and icing chute allows the ice to be added very easily. In fact, one person can fill the compartment with ice as the player is actually wearing the Chilly-Billy™ ice compress.
The Chilly-Billy™ ice compress uses real ice and will reach and maintain optimal temperatures necessary for proper coverage and effectiveness. The unique material allows proper absorption of the cold to penetrate into the required coverage areas without burning the skin. In addition, due to its unique design, the Chilly-Billy™ ice compress requires less ice typically used when icing the current method.
No other product provides the amount of coverage on not so easy areas to ice. For anyone who has applied ice by the typical method (baggies, cellophane wrap, ace bandages) has experienced the difficulty of handling placing them in proper position and trying to apply the cellophane wrap. Ice or gel packs that require freezers, do not adequately cover enough area nor do they typically provide optimal cooling temperatures for a sufficient time.
The Chilly-Billy™ ice compress accomplishes all of this as well as the added convenience and ease of use. One person is all that is needed to get the athlete properly “dressed”. No more needing to purchase baggies, cellophane and ace bandages to ice an athlete down. You can take the Chilly-Billy™ ice compress anywhere and use anytime, over and over.
