Vive Knee Ice Pack Wrap - Cold/Hot Gel Compression Brace - Heat Support Strap for Arthritis Pain, Tendonitis, ACL, Athletic Injury, Osteoarthritis, Women, Men, Running, Meniscus and Patella Surgery

Soft and comfortable, velcro straps easy to use and hold well, and wrap is large enough to cover knee completely. Well made. Highly recommend!

This is the best knee icing system for the price point that I have tried. I have congenital chondromalacia patellae. My knees have been "bad" since I was a child. Multiple knee surgeries and injuries have left me with a lot of swelling from normal activities, and my knees creak so loudly that my family can hear me coming. I require regular icing, and I need something that can stay secured if I am moving around. This product provides that. The fasteners are strong, and the four-point attachment allows for easy adjustments for comfort. There are three removable ice packs, two vertical to run on either side of the patella, and one horizontal to wrap around the sides and back on the knee. This does impede movement—walking up stairs or bending the leg to tuck in under a table can be awkward. Regular walking is easy enough. Compression is possible with the adjustable nature of the straps. You can vary the strength of how tightly it hugs from top to bottom. I am plus-sized, with a 13 inch measurement at the upper part of my knee/lower part of my thigh. Lots of knee braces hit me too tightly at the thigh and restrict blood-flow. This is adjustable enough to be comfortable! Major, major advantage for me. For small folks, this might actually prove too big to be comfortable because of the length of the posterior ice pack. The provided measurements were accurate for me. The ice packs are awkward to try and insert into the brace pockets when fully frozen, so I freeze the whole brace at one time. The thickness of the ice packs makes for a good 20 minute cold-front against hot and swelling skin, which is right around the perfect amount for recommended icing times.

I just had knee replacement and brought home an electric ice wrap from hospital. The wrap looked great but what a hassle plugging in, filling with water and ice the having to clean and empty each time. This wrap is wonderful and I’m so glad I sound it. Thanks for a great product.

I have a huge thigh and it still fits good. the gel packs are easy to take in and out and it stabilizes the knee really well too. only complaint is the very conservative instructions on heating. 5 second intervals was way too little for my microwave

Effective in applying cold compression to my wounded knee. Product facilitated the healing process to a badly sprained knee. Liked the fact you could put the entire brace in the freezer without messing around with other moving parts.
