JUST ADD WATER

The FRÍO® insulin travel wallet is an evaporative protection unit purposely designed to keep insulin and other medications cool within safe temperatures of 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F) for a minimum of 45 hours, even in a constant environmental temperature of 37.8°C (100°F). The most simple and convenient medication cool protector system available, FRÍO® wallets offer Insulin Dependent Diabetes mellitus (IDD) sufferers the ultimate stylish accessory for the safe and convenient storage/transportation of insulin for up 28 days (one month). Please Note: 28 days (one month) is the life span of in-use insulin. The wallet is re-usable over and over again.

Brilliant Solution!
Thanks again for sending the eye drop wallet. It's perfect for 3 eye drop bottles. Plus, there's just enough room to include a small tube of neosporin ointment which I apply afterwards.
What I like is how using this case completely solves several issues with eye drops, including:
  • Keeping them at a stable and cool temperature
  • Ready for any adventure - motorcycling, backpacking, evening engagements, whatever
  • Keeping all the meds in one place
  • Small and portable - easily fits into my shoulder bag.
  • Bright and easy to find - It'd be hard to lose them!
Anyway, the case is really a brilliant solution for glaucoma users ...

Frio cooling wallet carry cases are a simple and convenient way to keep your insulin cool if you need to. There is a range of sizes and colours to suit your needs.
Check your insulin storage instructions for exact details on the storage needs of your type of insulin, and if you think a safe cool bag is in order, then the Frio bags work without refrigeration - activated by water only - and are re-usable, durable and long lasting.
