What is the spray trainers use?

[lmooney19 5]

Anytime a guy gets hit in the hand or wrist area and goes to the bench, I always see trainers take an aerosol spray can and spray down the area.  Whats in the bottle?

It'd be hard to tell what brand each team specifically uses, but most often it'll be a cold/freezing spray. Chemically, it's an aerosol of ethylchloride, which has a cooling effect when sprayed on.

 

In layman's terms, it'll keep a minor injury cold, in the similar vein as icing it down, but without having to walk back to the locker room and miss time during the game.

If I remember Jamie McLennan's book, it's a sort of numbing / freezing agent. He ruptured the area between his thumb and index fingers on his glove hand - he had to get it sprayed during every stoppage in play.

It's called The Best Seat In The House. Not a long book but it is interesting to read.

We are using the same product here.

You must have a tough hand.

Not as tough as it used to be...

Freeze zone . Numbs the area and brings down swelling.  Many times a shot of cortisone fallows.
