The result is an effective cold pack for pain that empowers users to rehabilitate injuries without losing the use of their hands. PAINCAKES® is made for every activity level and can also be great for kids.


“We are very excited to introduce PAINCAKES® to consumers,” says Tony West, Compass Health Brands’ SVP of Retail. “This is an innovative product in the cold therapy market.
