Very happy to tell you the years we have been using the Medichill ice pads post Ceasarean Section have been a great success, insofar as pain relief is concerned. The use of the MediChill ice pads have been very well received by the Clients, Midwives and Doctors.
The positive outcomes being reduced PCIA use and the physically comforting/ soothing effect.
There were no adverse outcomes recorded.
Since completion of the Trial, it has been decided to continue with the MediChill Ice pads post-operatively, on "B" ward, as part of Client management for the first 24 hrs. CD Clinical Nurse/Midwife - Albany Hospital

 It's a great product that St John of God Hospital gave me to use during my healing process right after giving birth 27th May 2010.
My ‘as natural as possible’ birth, I had the epidural plus top ups in the end, went for 21 hours before my beautiful baby girl was born.
I had a episiotomy which is equivlent to a second degree tear. My obstetrician stitched my perineum up and then the midwife placed around 4 frozen Medichill Ice Pad sectors into a sterile non-woven combine (10x20cm) and this was placed on top of a maternity period pad.
After each hour the whole lot was binned due to it being soiled and was not reusable and new ones were then used in the same way. This helped with the swelling and bruising. It was still painful even with the drugs they gave me, panadol & tramadol. Medichill helped take the edge off.
I used Medichill for the first 3 days then a nurse told me that I had to let the blood flow and let area heal itself. It was so painful without the ice. The fifth day a physio came to do a therapeutic ultrasound on my perineum pain and haemerroids. The physio told me it was up to me if I wanted to use the Medichill. I wish I did keep using them during those couple days because it would of saved me a whole lot of discomfort. Total 8 days in hospital because my daughter had jaundice, and had to bake under UV lights.
At SJOG hospital, the Medichill is stored in the freezer all cut up into combinations of 3s & 4s. Patients are welcome to help themselves and use them anytime or else they can call a nurse who will get them.

 I am writing to express my appreciation for the cold compress that was used on my leg during our recent trip. When I had my accident and avulsed my quadriceps muscle from my patella on my right leg, Peter delved Into his pack and produced the chemical compress. Within minutes my leg was bound tightly with bandages with the compress firmly bound over the affected area. This greatly assisted in reducing the swelling and consequent pain. It Is a very effective cold compress and should be part of every backpackers pack Contents. Thank you. PK Perth
