It is 10 mins, then re apply at regular intervals for the next 24 hours if i'm right.

And as said, make sure you wrap the ice in a tea towel or something of the sort. =]

As far as I know ice won't actually prevent bruising (although I suppose it may help reduce it a bit). It's more commonly used to bring down swelling.

Always seem to get things just that little bit wrong.
