Cold, cold, crazy cold
Excellent ice wrap for knees. The wrap fits any size knee with 4 Velcro straps. The wrap comes with 3 gel packs. I bought 3 extra packs so I could use them after one set was no longer cold enough. They freeze up pretty quickly in the freezer. This was extremely helpful to me after my partial knee replacement surgery.

Essential for Post-Op Knee Replacement Recovery!!!
The recovery tool I wish I had for my previous full knee replacement! I have now had both knees fully replaced. My first recovery was good, and I diligently rotated ice treatments as directed, using reusable ice bags from the hospital and typicalgel packs wrapped in towels as we did for our kids’ sports injuries. After my 2nd full knee replacement my orthopedic surgeon emphasized being especially diligent about rotating ice to reduce swelling and promote healing, and suggested looking for a wraparound because behind the knee tissue is important, too. This knee wrap is OUTSTANDING! I have also purchased a gel replacement pack (comes with 3 packs) so I do 15 minutes on/off many times during the day and don’t have long stretches without icing. I am 3 weeks out from surgery and healing is going GREAT! My mobility is ahead of the norm, pain and swelling reduced, my doc was thrilled! This wrap has really changed my recovery experience – a game changer well worth the cost. I got the black with turquoise trim, which looks quite snazzy – my PT doc was super impressed and took down the info intending to purchase several for herself and her practice. Very durable so far, three weeks of daily heavy use and pack rotation to the freezer;Gel packs have a heavy-duty covering so no punctures or failures. Fits well, super adjustable with 4 straps which ensure a snug fit all around; one is longer for the thigh (which fits my plus-size thigh area). I use a 6” Ace bandage wrap or a 12” gentle compression sleeve underneath to ensure the right level of chill is hitting the surgical areas without over-chilling. Portable, stretchy, easy to use. LOVE THIS!!

This is the best ice wrap I have ever used! Wraps easily and stays put! The ice really stays cold and helps with swelling and pain. I am using this before and after my knee replacement surgery. I recommend this highly!

Easy to use and effective
Worth every penny. Stays cold, easy to use, comfortable, the full wrap around cooling is a game changer.

Well made, stayed in place (mostly) when in motion. Cold effect could last longer.
Useful when I was recoving from knee-replacement surgery. Keeping your knee iced is key to reducing swelling, increasing your mobility, and decreasing recovery time. I bought two of these so when I using one the other would be cooling down in the freezer. I do feel they provided some relief from post surgery pain and swelling, but in my experiencer they cooling effect did not last long enough. Perhaps they need to add more gel or a different gel formulation. On the other hand they were easy to apply and (mostly) stayed in place when I needed to move with the cold pack on. They seem well made and had plenty of life left in them after I no longer needed them.

The best ice pack I have found!!!
I have had many different types but this one is the best I have found! Easy to use great coverage of both the top bottom and back of my knee. The Velcro is great quality if other reviews say different they’re not using it correctly. I don’t need to pull the ice bags out to freeze just fit to the curve of your knee (I leave mine on for 25 min) take off keeping the form of my knee put it in the freezer take it out the next time and fits right back. If I have to adjust the ice pads you can gently reform it. Just be careful when u put back in the freezer and it will fit right back into place. A couple said it froze like a rock that would only happen if your freezer is set to cold. I’ve tried over 15 different products and this has the best fit quality and the Velcro is top notch!!! If you take care of it and don’t just yank it off it will last a long time!Great product guys

Great product to ice knee
Exactly what i needed. Hugs the knee. Ice packs easy to insert though wish they went in a little easier when frozen. But it’s a good product and helped much after surgery. Also got the ankle wrap one and the wrist one– they are good quality for good price point. Haven’t used the reusable packs on warm/heat setting yet.

I was worried about the fit and quality of this product when ordering, but both of them surpassed my expectations. No, it doesn’t stay cold for hours at a time, but the manufacturer also doesn’t control the laws of physics. However, it does stay cold sufficiently long enough to provide relief to my swollen knee (roughly an hour or so). As long as your expectations respect the laws of physics, this is a great buy.
