Gel Packs Direct 3-in-1 Reusable Multipurpose Ice Pack for Sports Injuries with Adjustable Strap & Wrap. Hot and Cold Compress Knee Support for Arthritis, Replacement Surgery, Swelling & Joint Pain.

It is never easy to identify the correct injury product or know whether it will make a difference. I chose this particular product as it offers both Hot and Cold solutions. The quality and design are very good (have been using for two weeks). I am using this on a troublesome knee strain. By following the general injury instructions of three times a day cold and also hot the injury has improved significantly. The product works by coming in two parts. The gel pack is placed in the freezer or microwave for cold or hot. It is then slid into the wrap pocket and wrapped securely with the elasticated strap. The strap is secured with velcro. I use a support stocking underneath when using cold to give a little separation from the skin as the gel is very cold when frozen. The velcro strap is very secure and allows for flexible adjustment. I found the whole wrap very comfortable and easy to wear whilst going about my normal chores. I have also used hot and equally found the adjustment and comfort to be good. Overall a very good product and highly recommended - beats a bag of peas!!

I ordered the twin pack of this product because my son suffered a discolated knee playing sport and lives away during the week, so I thought it would be useful to have one in both places. It is an excellent product and stays very cold for plenty long enough and has helped a lot to bring down the swelling. My husband uses the other one on his back and finds it very helpful. What makes it really effective is the Velcro strap keeping the cold pack close to the body and its flexibility to mould around the joint. I ordered this last weekend and I have been very pleased with it. So far we have only used it cold so can't comment on it when used to apply heat, but it is definitely so far so good and I would highly recommend this product. It more than met my expectations.

Really good product. Does what it says on the tin, the strap is really handy as it lets you ice your knee whilst on the move. Very strong Velcro so doesn’t move up and down the knee. Only negative I would say is the cold pack doesn’t stay ‘cold’ for very long - on average for about 1.5 hours. Otherwise would defo recommend

Superb BUT USE WITH CARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS. This really works but please read the instructions carefully. You are dealing with heat and extreme cold. Make sure you check the heat of the pack in the microwave every 15 seconds. Err on the side of caution before you put it carefully inside the blue cover. Be very careful as you wrap the blue cover around the skin on your knee. The heated/frozen pack should now be fully inside the blue cover. After a few seconds take it off to check you are not burning the skin by having it too hot/cold. When you find the right time to microwave it, the right way to wrap it in the blue cover, etc then this will really work. The heat (in my case) has taken away in minutes the soreness and pain of hard runs and hard workouts on the exercise bike, cross-trainer etc You will really feel the benefit and the difference BUT because this is real, please check you are not jumping in with the pack left 10 seconds too long in the microwave for your skin. A magnificent product but please do not ignore the instructions.

My husband twisted his knee and the doctor recommended hot and cold compresses. This works really well and stays in place if you keep your leg straight and don’t try to walk around with it in place. The product is well made and strong and certainly made a difference from the first time he used it, he started with just cold compresses for 20mins every four hours and now uses hot and cold alternatively and the swelling has reduced significantly. This product does seem to work and is well worth a try.

it has helped my leg to heal

This is a decent product, semsibly priced, and worth having if you are a knee pain sufferer. However, it shares the disadvantage of all gel-pack-using devices in that once frozen, it is both difficult to bend around a joint, cannot be made to fit snugly, and, being very hard, is much less comfortable to wear than a wheat pack, which has none of these problems. I mitigate the first problem to some degree by cooling the gel-packs draped over a knee-shaped item in the freezer. I found an additional discomfort in this case, however, in that when applied in the most advantageous position (for me, that is) the corners of the Velcro tab pricked my skin quite painfuilly; This problem is not apparent in the ilustration which seems to show a different model, wherein the Velcro-fastening strap is completely isolated from the skin. However, mine came with a pocket for the gel pack permanently mounted inside the elasticated strip and of exactly the same width - which means that, if you don't fasten it with scrupulous care (or in my case even if you do), the sharp, pointed edges of the velcro patch project over the edges of the fixing strap and dig into your skin. I had to cut the corners off. which, of course, will reduce the life of the product. They ought to have had the corners rounded in manufacture, as in other varieties of Velcro fixings, or at least made a little narrower than the strap. For me, gel-packs are in any case the second-best approach; I already have a Zhu-zhu neck-and-joint wheat pack ([...]), which I have used happily for two years, being significantly more comfortable, and easier to apply; I bought this additional item in order to be able to use the oft-recommended approach of successive heat-cold applications - by having a gel pack always in the freezer, I can instantly follow the heat therapy with cold therapy (and this fixed my specific and quite serious knee pain in two days). It's worth noting that the pocket for the supplied gel-pack also conveniently fits my other standard gel-packs, of which I always have two or three in the freezer ready for use. I hope the manufacturers will improve the fitting arrangements; I have sent them a copy of my review.

Parfait pour sous le genou (tendinite sous la rotule + osgood schlatter) pour un grand ado. Testé en froid uniquement. On le met au congélo et chaque soir il le porte 30minutes pour diminuer l'oedème et la douleur. La pochette est très pratique, on rentre le pack de gel dedans par le côté, un petit scratch fin permet de fermer la poche ensuite pour maintenir le pack, puis on place en travers sur le genou (en dessous sur la bande patellaire pour nous) et le gros élastique fait parfaitement le tour de la jambe et vient se scratcher sur le dessus. Ça maintient très bien, mon ado monte les escaliers, s'assoit ou se lève sans que ça ne bouge. Et aucune marque sous le genou, c'est large et souple. C'est parfait, et ça pourra s'adapter à d'autres endroits du corps quand ça sera nécessaire. Hyper pratique. Et pour répondre si d'autres se posent les mêmes questions que moi avant d'acheter : le pack reste assez souple même congelé, aucun problème pour l'enrouler sur la jambe, et ça ne brule pas par le froid. Si quelqu'un est hyper sensible il peut toujours glisser un tissus entre les 2, mais aucun soucis directement. La poche dans laquelle on met le pack est en sorte de tulle noir dessous, et en velours bleu dessus, sur lequel on scratche la sangle.

Effective in reducing knee pain and very handy to use and apply to knee.

La funda con bolsa de gel frío la veo casi perfecta en diseño. La bolsa de gel interna está hecha de un plástico fuerte, que no parece que se vaya a resquebrajar al doblarse (con las consiguientes pérdidas de gel), como pasa en muchas otras. La consistencia del gel, una vez congelado, es casi rígida; pero enseguida que lo sacas del congelador, puedes doblarla, para adaptarla donde la coloques. La funda externa es suficientemente ancha, y parece resistente. Asimismo, la banda elástica con velcro -para ajustarla al cuerpo- parece muy resistente, y el velcro engancha bien. Quizás uno de los lados de la funda podría tener una tela un poco más gruesa (en el otro lado es un tejido agujereado), para evitar que el contacto casi directo con el hielo pueda quemar la piel. Sin duda, volvería a comprarla (aunque no hace mucho tiempo que lo hice, y no sé si resistirá bien el paso del tiempo).

Habe für meine Kreuzbandverletzung das 2er-Set gekauft. Ideal, um unter und gleichzeitig über der Kniescheibe zu kühlen. Lässt sich komfortabel handhaben und sitzt gut. Die Küühlpads machen einen sehr wertigen Eindruck – anders als die günstigen Discounter-Pads.

Material resistente y flexible...mantiene el frio x mucho tiempo...sus tiras ajustables lo hacen muy confortables...lo uso tb en hombros ( las tiras en este caso no son cómodas)... x como la compresa d frio es larga se almolda perfectam a la zona..basta sólo mantener con la otra mano la parte delantera y la d detrás apoyada en un respaldo.
