Brownmed Polar Ice Large Knee Wrap - Wearable Cold Therapy Ice Pack for Pain Relief & Recovery - Large

I love this wrap! It is one of my favorite "things." It is so comfortable and aides in pain relief and I like it so much, it's like a favorite pair of shoes or teddy bear! ;-) I have a serious low back/spine injury (I am scheduled for a THIRD surgery to hopefully fix it this time). The low back pain has now gone to my legs and is seriously effecting my left knee by causing it to swell and is very painful. I can not fully bend or extend my left knee. (Unfortunately my right knee is starting to be symptomatic as well :-( ) Anyway, enough of my "woes me." I wear the wrap mostly on my left knee. I can move around while wearing it and it gives me a lot of relief AND gives support as well! It's more comfortable than an ordinary knee brace. I go to bed wearing an ice wrap and once the ice melts it is a nice cushion and support. The wrap helps keep my knee to keep steady while I sleep and I don't twist my knee around, which causes great pain and wakes me up. The only negative thing about it for me is that the cooling ice sheets that come with it are too thin. It doesn't stay cold long enough for continued relief. So to get more cooling time, I cut ice sheets and added them to the wrap. They fit in nicely to the pockets and it was really simple to do. BTW I got the "Flexi Freeze Refreezable Ice Sheets 3 pack" sold on Amazon, which cost about $15. You can get away with only using one sheet if you piece the remaining squares that are left. I cut the strips three wide. It is a bit bulky, but the stretchy velcro bands allows the soft semi-stretchy neoprene to adjustment to secure the brace. It molds nicely around my entire knee. It's just the right amount of cold and does not cause ice burns. And the right amount of pressure for perfect compression and stability. I now have three of them so that I can rotate and alway have one cold. Though adding the ice sheets is pretty simple, I have three for the connivence and have at least one ready to go at all times. You could get away with only one knee wrap and rotate the ice sheets. But for me I am so sick of being in pain, I just want to be able to go to the freezer and slap one on. When I don't have access to a freezer if I am away from home, I bring zip lock baggies which can be filled with ice and stuff into the pockets. The baggies can leak sometimes as the ice melts, but usually I don't care as it's well worth the support and relief. I just make sure I have a large towel and have gotten used to hearing "your leaking." :-D The wrap is a big large rectangle with five pockets and sometimes I use it on my back too. The soft neoprene is just right, not too cold, just very cool and relieving. I know I have now spent around $100 by purchasing three wraps and extra ice sheets, but it is worth it! I am a cheap person and hate spending money on something my insurance company should provide, but the reduced pain and support is priceless!!!! I am also doing it for my liver and kidneys. Heaven knows with all the pain meds I have ingested over the past five, I am sure my kidneys and liver are not happy. :-P Though I am not free of them, the icing helps reduce how much and often I take meds.

I play on a rugby team on the weekend, and I often find myself really sore in my legs after a particularly hard game. I’ve been looking for an ice pack that I could wear and move around in rather than one that made me stationary for 30 minutes while I had it on. I found this particular one and added it to my post-game healing regimen, and I was completely satisfied with the results. The pack wraps completely around my leg, and the little ice packs last for the full 30 minutes that I keep it on. I haven’t had a single experience where it melted. I absolutely adore it, and it serves my specific purposes. Basically, when I get home from rugby, I usually put the pack on right away, and leave it on for half an hour. After I take it off, I do some restorative stretches (carefully) and then apply my topical pain reliever, ThermaChill Pain Relief Roll On Cold Therapy, 3 fl oz. - Top Choice for Arthritis, Migraine Relief, Joint & Muscle Pain - Limited Time Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free! . This is useful because the stretches prevent cramping in the morning after I’ve iced the affected areas, and then the thermachill warms and cools the pained spots so that I don’t feel any pain right then. I leave this on for the rest of the evening, and then take a hot bath at the end of the night with epsom salts. After doing all of this, I rarely get any soreness the following day. Long winded review, I know, but I figured I would share my method with others. At any rate, buy the ice pack—its awesome!

After being very unsatisfied with other commercial ice packs (e.g. one from CVS), I bought this after my last knee surgery. I still use it on a regular basis as I often have knee swelling and pain (I had a total of 4 knee surgeries after complete rupture of both crucial (ACL) and medial (MCL) ligaments during sports). Pros: - Has 3 sheets of ice with many small ice-pockets which make it flexible and greatly improve the contact surface for faster cooling. Also being more flexible you can actually walk a bit with this pack without it falling off. - Comes with it's own wrap in which the ice goes so no need for extra towels etc. you can use this directly on skin (but still also works through jeans) - Good quality: have used this for over 6 months and velcro, wrap and ice pack are all in good shape - Good price: similarly priced ice packs I've tried before are worse in all aspects - Smart design: the wrap is thin on inside (blue side for cooling) and insulating on outside (yellow): the ice pack still has ice (and still cools) after 20 minutes. Also the 3 Velcro straps allow you to fit this perfectly to your knee/leg. Cons: - It is not big enough to wrap around all of my knee (it goes 3/4 although I should say I'm a pretty big guy at 6 ft 3" and 220 pounds, so if you're small it might be big enough). However, for $5 more you can buy the same ice pack but bigger (which I would recommend for medium or large persons). Regardless it still does the job well. I use it for my knee and really immediately feel it taking away pain and swelling, so I haven't actually bought the bigger one. - The bright yellow color might not be the most fashionable but you use this at home and it actually does not look as ugly in real life as you might think. So for me not a real con. Also if you would leave the home with this, it will make people aware of your injury (like crutches), so might be a good thing. Conclusion: a must have for anyone who regularly uses an ice pack due to injury or sports.

The design of this is simple and effective. No need to use a gel pack wrapped in a cloth and held together by straps; which is what I was using. It easily stays cold for 20-30 min. which is what I need. The 4" x 11" plastic ice cube sheets can be removed from the pockets by opening the velcro. I bought separate 4" x 10" gel packs which fit neatly in the pockets (3 on the regular size; 5 on the large size) and can be kept in the freezer as back ups if the distilled water ones aren't cold enough when you are ready to ice again. The regular size is fine for me but I'm slim. I also bought the large size for my husband to use after knee replacement surgery. He is a much bigger person and his knee was quite swollen so the large was perfect. It freezes best when left flat in the freezer rather than folded up.

Okay; Just got it yet to see long it lasts

absolutely find the quality and effectiveness of this product superb beyond any other similar product! I just had a Total Knee Replacement and am so happy to have found this.. Recommend it highly..!
