MedActiv SAP (Super Absorbant Polymers) that were specially developed by MedActiv as phase change materials.

A phase change material (PCM) is a substance which releases sufficient energy at phase transition to provide useful cooling. The MedActiv gel packs will generate cold while transiting from solid to liquid format. They are frozen after 8 hours at -18°C but after 12 hours of freezing time they will enter a new phase and stay frozen for three times longer.

The MedActiv gel packs will stay frozen 3 times as long as normal gel packs and will restitute a flat temperature curve rather than a progressive one, thus ensuring a more stable temperature environment for medication transportation. The gel packs are incredibly well made, with an outside layer of silicone, which stops them from “transpiring” not making the bag wet when defrosting. When unfrozen they are just about indestructible. They are compact, insensitive to motion or tilting, have no moving parts, and simply need to be frozen in a standard household refrigerator at -18°C for 12 hours.

We call this technology SlowCold™

Be aware of your hotel facilities. If you take medications that need to be refrigerated, an in-room refrigerator is a must, but is it a guarantee in some countries. In-room hotel fridges are not designed for storing medication, and if one’s medication is frozen, it will look like it has crystals in it. These crystals are super uncomfortable to inject.

With more people travelling, we have seen an increase demand for the LifeInaBox - Portable Travel Medicine Fridge, Mini Fridge, Portable Insulin Fridge. A device that is revolutionising the transportation and storage of sensitive medicines around the world. LifeInaBox, the smallest refrigerator in the world, is the complete solution that will allow users to live their daily lives, to travel anywhere, anytime, with their medications stored at a temperature between 2 and 8°C.
