Activewrap Knee Ice Pack Wrap - Includes 2 Gel Pads, PT-Designed Ice Wrap for Cold Compression, Injury Recovery & Cooling Brace, Freeze Therapy for Knee Pain, Swelling & Injuries - One Size Fits Most

These are the perfect wraps for sport injuries, recovering from surgeries and just occasional aches and pains - I now ones for wrist, elbow, knee, back & hip. First instead of having to store a big wrap in your freezer you need only to put the inserts in to the freezer which saves a ton of space. I'm able to store 4 small (hand/wrist and elbow), 3 medium (knee and back) and one large (hip) in the space of about one large wrap. Second these remain very pliable which helps in forming a nice, comfortable cold area - yet the exterior seems quite sturdy to prevent tears or leaks. Third, the high quality neoprene wraps are comfortable and make it easy to secure to what ever body part you need to treat. Fourth, because you slip the insert into a sleeve in the neoprene wrap, you don't need to bother with a towel or anything else between the cold insert and your skin - the insert offers just enough so that the cold isn't painful but not so much that you can't feel the cold. I'm using one right now on my elbow. Haven't used them for heat yet but I expect them to be just as good for warmth as they are for cold.

I found a video review of ActiveWrap products on YouTube when perusing Knee Replacement Rehab suggestions. The Physical Therapist (with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy) reviewed a large variety of portable joint wrap products, and ActiveWrap was determined to be the best, largely due to the duration of cold that the wrap provides with continuous use, and the fact that it was designed by a Physical Therapist with all of the necessary features of a superior product. That was a good enough testimonial for me to make a purchase and put it to the test. I had one of my knees replaced recently, and in addition to aggressive PT, elevation, and rest, the ActiveWrap Knee Wrap was instrumental in getting me to -2° extension and 125°+ flexion, 2 weeks post-op of my TKA. These wraps maintain an incredible level of COLD for 2 or more hours. Once I began outpatient PT (4 weeks post-op), I brought the ActiveWrap Knee Wrap in to show my Physical Therapist. After wearing the wrap for 45 minutes prior to my appointment, she was amazed at how cold it was! This is the first knee wrap that will not fall down around my ankle with active use, even with slippery synthetic sweat pants on. Both the compression and adjustability are exceptional. By using more or fewer cold packs (which stick to the neoprene wrap using Velcro), you are able to target the cold at a specific area of your joint, or you can bathe the entire joint in bone-chilling cold! It feels absolutely wonderful and beats rotting your digestive system with high doses of NSAIDS. When I wanted to purchase some extra Microban cold-pack sleeves, Customer Service and Sales were extremely quick to respond to my e-mail and were incredibly helpful. I cannot recommend Active Wrap products, and the Active Wrap company, strongly enough! You won't be disappointed!

I had a total knee replacement and used this and still use it a ton! It is a quality wrap and worth the money.

I'm giving this a full 5 stars because overall, the product deserves this as it's the best I've found for comfortably icing down knee area. There are a couple of minor things to be aware of though. The Good: * You can secure it well enough that if you have to move around with it, you can and it won't slip off, even if you bump it a bit with crutches. * It's reasonably comfortable. Thick material, but not too thick, not too much pressure, etc. Things where you have to adjust a bit: * The ice pouches themselves have a sleeve where you can put the ice pack into either sleeve to control the temperature a bit. This does work, but even using the two barriers, there were times I felt it was still a little too cold. This is of course a personal thing though. Sometimes it's fine; other times a bit much. This could be part my injury, part how long they've been in freezer, etc. But here's the thing... this is ok because it's simple to solve by adding a thin cloth or something to the ice pack sleeve. This is much better than if you had something too thick and not cold enough. I've actually only had to do this once, so I think it was more my injury tolerance that day than anything else, but the point is, you can adjust it. * The straps are pretty long and if you're hurt it can be a little bit of a stretch to secure them. But... again, as above, this really isn't so much a negative because the end result is a secure ice pack. My personal issue was/is also I'm right on the edge of the sizes available. A little too big is better than too small here because you can wrap something a little larger tighter, but too small just won't work. Once they're on and the velcro is all set, these stay in place. End Result? I've got a few ice pack solutions because I'm getting older, but still play some sports and contact sports and get damaged a bit. Right now I've got multiple fractures in lower leg and icing down helps me even more than aspirin, etc. And this thing is doing the job best right now.

Love the idea of this product! Bought for after knee replacement surgery. I love that it doesn't freeze solid and stays flexible to wrap around my knee. Only stays cold for about 15 to 20 minutes which is perfect for what the doctor recommended (15 to 20 minutes every hour) Worked great for about 3 weeks and then the fabric started coming apart from the seams.

This is a device that really makes the icing and application of heat, often needed in knee issues, easier. The construction of it is good, with Velcro, and other good design points. It wraps closely around the knee, and is comfortable to use. The main drawback is the pad used for heating needs to microwaved carefully, and they caution you to leave the frozen pad out of the freezer a while before using it. So it's not always as portable as you might want. You might want to take a cooler with blue ice to the gym, to be able to use right after a workout, should you have not be going home immediately. All in all, this product reflects quality and thought, and is a wise choice. It works well.

Great purchase. A little pricey but It is well made and worth the money if you need to ice your knee regularly. When you use both ice packs you get 360 degrees of cold around the knee. Some have mentioned it does not stay cold long enough. I do not agree. It stays ice cold for at least the recommended icing time of 20 minutes. What some may be misinterpreting is the fact you lose feeling in the knee as it numbs. It is still cold. You can purchase additional ice packs if you feel you need additional icing time. Get the proper size and it fits tight around the knee and allows you to get up and move around freely without sliding down your leg. Some have also mentioned that the velcro that holds the ice packs in place inside the wrap begin to wear out. I eliminate that issue by never removing the covers that hold the ice pack from the wrap. Instead...I slip the ice packs into the covers. Remove ice packs from covers and place back in freezer. The Velcro on the wrap itself will wear out eventually but it has held up well so far. If you need to ice regularly and want to be able to move around while you ice, this product is a very good choice.

Nice size. Easy to use with the included active ice pouches. You can buy extra pouches to provide more icing sessions without having to wait for the used pouches to refreeze.
