Using Your Catalyst™

Step 1

Freeze overnight

Remove your Catalyst Cryohelmet or Cryoscarf from the insulated carrying case and place it in your freezer overnight. Most users store the entire unit in their freezer so it is available and ready when they need it. Additional cold packs may be purchased and frozen for longer product use.

Step 2

Bring it with you

To keep product frozen for longer period of time, place the unit in a cooler or Catalyst insulated bag.  When carrying your Cryohelmet in the insulated bag with the included large travel cold pack, you can expect it to stay frozen for hours!

Step 3

Wear for at least 30-40 minutes at the onset of symptoms or after any practice or game.

If product is being used for cooldown, wear for a few minutes on the sideline to help lower body temperature and return product to cooler.

Fitting 

The Catalyst Cryohelmet is designed to fit a wide variety of head shapes and sizes. Catalyst cold packs remain flexible even when frozen and will conform to the shape of your head. There is a positionable Velcro tab for neck adjustment and a drawstring similar to a jacket or sweatshirt hood for a customizable fit.  See our FAQ page for more information on selecting the right size.

●  Place unit on your head, making sure to completely cover the forehead.

●  Pull neck flaps around the neck and secure Velcro tab.

●  Grab drawstring ends on sides of hood and pull tight until you achieve the desired fit. Press button on cord locks to loosen.
