Resters Choice Ice Pack for Injuries Reusable - (Standard Large: 11x14.5) for Hip, Shoulder, Knee, Back - Hot & Cold Compress for Swelling, Bruises, Surgery - Heat & Cold Therapy

My husband had total knee replacement recently and a friend who is a physical therapist gave us hers to try. I bought 2 myself (freeze one/use one). Because they were so easy to use and helpful (decreased swelling = decreased pain) he actually iced his knee more often and for a longer period of time. The cooling system he came home with from the hospital was very inconvenient so he didnt like using it. He did use the velcro wrap they sent him home with to keep this ice pack in place. It conformed around his knee and could use one on the bottom and one of the top if he felt he needed additional cooling. It conformed nicely around his knee but I can see where it would do the same around other parts of the body should it be needed. Two friends also had knee replacement surgery and ordered the packs because we liked them so well. Havent used them for heat application so cant speak to that.

Happy customer, thank you

Works great! Retains the cold temp beautifully, >1hr still cool. Initial placement is almost too cold and I need a thick or double towel layer plus clothes on to tolerate but I LOVE IT! And it’s durable for when I forget about it and step on it or squish it with something heavy. Only thing I would say is a strap to better hold in place would be nice but after surgery I wasn’t moving much. LOVE IT!

Ive bought several of these in different sizes and they are the best ice packs Ive ever used or found. They are perfect in size and the ice gel stays cold for a very long time. All I wrap them in is a clean pillow case, and Ive found them to still be moderately cold even after 30 minutes. Im very pleased with these items.

This gel pack is a good size and seems to be very well made.. kind of weighty and thick compared to most packs Ive used in the past.. which I assume is the reason it stays so cold for such a long time. Not very flexible when using right out of the freezer.. it has to thaw a bit before it will conform to your body parts.. hence the reason for the 4 stars.

Great price, stays cold and refreezes quickly. I bought several.

This is an excellent gel pack with only one flaw. Its too heavy. The heaviness is not comfortable to put on an joint that was recently operated on. The gel pack is good just a little to heavy.

We have 2 family members who have had recent surgeries. One was given a hip brace with some ice packs that velcro into it (which the ice packs did NOT fit into the brace because when they were frozen, the gel beads SWELLED up so much that they would not fit!) & one was given an ice machine. We ended up having to rotate the two of them between the ice machine, which meant the ice machine was in pretty much constant use all day long between the two of them. We also used ice packs but I was SO frustrated because our ice packs were small, so we had to keep using multiple ones, & they would thaw quickly because they were so small. It was a constant process of me making ice all day & night for the ice machine because buying ice was way too costly at $6 PER DAY between the 2 of them, & having to freeze the small ice packs. I was SO OVER IT ALL, but knew they needed pain & swelling relief, so I scrolled Amazon, read many reviews, & determined which type of ice pack we needed. I knew we needed the fabric covered kind because it is most flexible & conforms to the intended area (surgery, injury, etc) more easily as it softens, as well as being FAR more COMFORTABLE than the hard plastic ice bricks you use in coolers. I also knew I wanted an ice pack with a FINISHED fabric bound EDGE, after reading about some of the ice packs that are heat sealed {?} on the ends coming apart & leaking. I knew we also needed an ice pack that would work on a hip, knee, shoulder, etc. without needing a bunch of different sizes. I read reviews for this ice pack & decided to order it. WOW!!!! It has been a GAME CHANGER!!!! It has worked FABULOUSLY for knees, hips, etc!!! It also fits on my teen between the hip brace, where the included ice packs wont even fit. My teen would go to sleep with this on her hip & sleep all night with it. It would last for several hours. This ice pack has worked SO WELL that I purchased another & am purchasing a 3rd & 4th because we have another surgery coming up, & I want to have one frozen & ready at all times. I am SO thankful to have these ice packs & pain relief at the ready for my family. The gel in the 3 sections has remained EQUAL & there are ZERO issues with the ice pack. We keep them laying FLAT in our freezer & do NOT put anything on top of them. They are FABULOUS!!!!!!! I WOULD purchase this ice pack again!

This is a great piece. Getting two if them is perfect, one being in the freezer as you use the other one. Very versatile can be used in a lot places around the body being in gel form it stays soft can be wrapped around things.

These ice packs help me make it throughout the day. I have foraminal stenosis and moderate to severe herniated disc in my neck so you can imagine the pain I’m in daily. I bought the 2pack. I use these ice packs all day to help relieve my pain. They stay cold for hours and when one isn’t cold anymore I go get the other one out of the freezer. If you’re looking for comfort buy these ice packs now.
