Product details

A cold water activated cooling wallet from Australian brand Glucology, which keeps your insulin pens safe and cool for up to 36 hours without a fridge. Unlike other insulin pen cooler bags that require you to prepare ice packs or batteries, the Glucology insulin cooler pouch only needs to be immersed in cold water to be activated. The Medium Cooling Wallet is lightweight and compact, and can hold up to 2 syringes and 2 vials at a time. 

The inner cover of this cooling wallet is made from polycotton with panels containing non-toxic and non-flammable crystals, which allows your insulin to remain at the recommended temperature when out and about. 

Key features:

  • Keeps insulin cool below 28˚C for up to 36 hours
  • Simple activation through water immersion
  • Reusable and easy to reactivate for continuous use
  • 120mm x 95mm size, ideal for travel
  • Includes an outer cover and inner pouch
  • Available in red, black, and blue colourways
  • Can store either 2x syringes and 2x 5mL vials, 2x syringes and 1x 10mL, 2x 10mL vials, or 4x 5mL vials. 

Precautions: Insulin must be at the manufacturer's recommended temperature before being placed in a Glucology Cooling Wallet.

Directions for use:

  1. Immerse the inner pouch containing the crystals in cold water to soak for 5-6 minutes.
  2. While soaking, make sure the crystals are spread evenly inside the pouch.
  3. Remove pouch from soaking water. Place on a flat surface and allow to drain for 5 minutes.
  4. Gently dry the cooler bag using tissues or a towel.
  5. When mostly dry, place the medication in the cooler bag and the activated pouch in the outer cover of the cooler bag. For continuous safe storage, the pouch should be re-immersed in water every 36 hours or sooner if the quantity of gel reduces and it starts returning to its crystal form.
  6. When in continuous use, 2-3 minutes of immersion in water will be sufficient, depending on the size of the pouch. If not used continuously, store your Glucology Cooling Wallet pouch in a cool dry place until next use.

Care instructions:

When not in use, remove the inner pouch from the outer cover and allow to dry out naturally until the gel returns to its crystal form. To keep the crystals separate, gently shake the pouch when drying. The drying period can take 2-4 weeks depending on the size of the bag and the climate.
