Gel Packs Direct - 3-in-1 Multipurpose Reusable Hot & Cold Flexible Ankle Ice Packs for Sports Injuries, Sprains, Fractures, Arthritis, Tendonitis & Pain Relief. Durable & Leak-Proof Ankle Ice Pack.

Purchased the gel pack to help relieve pain from an ankle injury picked up as a result of marathon training and football & have to say so far I’m really pleased. After being on my feet all day nice to have the choice for first ice to help take the swelling down then heat to help relieve the pain. The strap to help secure the pack is really useful. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something similar

Bought for my wife, who has achilles tendinitis in her ankles. Bought the double pack. Its a gel system. But still flexible, after freezing, so moulds around the required area. Can be used as cold, hot or just compression. Been using 3 days, and has relieved the symptoms already. Comes with a pouch for the pack and velcro strap. She is more than happy with the product, and its results todate.

Quality and value

I have this ankle you see. Its been diagnosed as a torn ligament and a lump the size of a walnut has sprung up on my ankle bone, God knows how it happened, it was just there one day and hurting like hell when i walked. (it was the peroneal brevis if that means anything to anyone other than a doctor). RICE I was told. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate. Rest wasnt a problem, thats practically all I do. Elevation? Feet up? Again I already do a lot of that. So Ice ice...? I know, a bag of frozen peas, or two bags to be on the safe side. Id heard about other people using this, I was well read, I knew things.... After about 4 days of tring to balance a bag of peas of the side of my foot by twisting it round and sitting in a weird position and the bag falling off and slipping around I thouhgt "I cant be the only person with this problem, Ill go on t'internet and see whats what. And this is what I found. If I could have invented something to apply ice to my ankle in that particular spot, this would have been it. Its perfect for the job whilst still retaining flexibility for other parts of the body. Sorry to say my problem has not gone away and Im off tomorrow for a cortisone injection. Lifes a bitch but its better with the help of littel things like this.

This freezes well and is then flexible enough to wrap around the ankle as shown in the illustration. The wide band of elastic means it can really be wrapped, and pulled as tight as necessary. It proved to be extremely useful for me. It’s still in the freezer a year later, and gets used from time to time, especially in hot weather. The fabric is soft and comfortable.

It works OK as a ice pack, but it is very rigid when taken from the freezer, so difficult to wrap around knee or heel and by the time it softens up it has also warmed up. Also the fabric case it goes into is flimsy and velcro strap very uncomfortable.

East to apply, good quality.

I got this as I have tennis elbow. I do various exercises and afterwards I pull the ice pack out of freezer and put it in the sleeve. The reason I’m only giving this 4 and not 5 stars is because when I wrap the sleeve around my arm, the Velcro will always rub against arm no matter how many times I have tried to avoid it. And once this happens your arm ends up as a mess like if your cat decides to scratch your arm lol. Anyway apart from that it’s pretty good.

Lo compré porque mi hija que está en edad de crecimiento tenía dolores en varias partes del cuerpo. Es muy cómodo de utilizar, se adapta muy bien a cualquier parte del cuerpo, tobillo, rodilla, pantorrilla. El paquete que lleva para calentar o enfriar también es muy fácil de usar. Mi hija está muy contenta.

È il secondo che acquisto, ottimo prodotto versatile, efficace, resistente ed economico. Ho problemi ai tendini che spesso s'infiammano nell'attività sportiva e attualmente sto lottando contro una infiammazione al tendine d'Achille e una al gomito (epicondilite) ...entrambi posti difficili da gestire per gli impacchi di ghiaccio. Ovviamente bisogna usare il prodotto ascoltando i consigli di fisiatri e terapisti: l'applicazione del ghiaccio non deve superare i 10-15 min e se se ne fanno più d'una deve esserci altrettanto tempo d'intervallo, il ghiaccio non va messo a contatto con la pelle. Personalmente alla prima applicazione quando il freddo è più intenso metto la tasca al contrario(il lato in pile blu verso la parte dolorante) e con un piccolo asciugamano o abito che separi dalla pelle; nelle successive applicazioni man mano che diventa meno freddo appoggio il lato nero traforato ma conservo l'indumento per non avere il contatto diretto che è deleterio...immagino che lo stesso valga anche per le applicazioni a caldo! Le foto di questi prodotti in generale sono ingannevoli perché mostrano spesso il sacchetto di GeL appoggiato direttamente sul corpo...hanno lo scopo di mostrare il prodotto e non il suo corretto utilizzo, l'unica pecca infatti sono istruzioni chiare ma si risolve riferendosi al personale specializzato (medico, fisiatra, fisioterapista). Infine ricordate che non è miracoloso e aiuta molto ma non è sufficiente da solo a curare il problema: aiuta molto ma va accompagnato con terapie ad hoc e riposo.

Après une opération, m’a cheville est toujours très gonflée, surtout le soir. Il suffit de laisser la poche de glace au congel , l’insérer dans la poche de la ceinture . Grâce à la sangle à Velcro, la poche de glace se positionne parfaitement sur l’endroit gonflé ou douloureux et reste parfaitement en place Je recommande vivement ce produit

Was hab ich mir zu Anfang bei meinem Bänderriss einen abgewürgt mit Kühlkissen, die nicht gehalten haben. Dann habe ich mir diesen Artikel gekauft und es war Ruhe. Das mitgelieferte Kühlpack ist klasse (auch aus der Kühltruhe, dann zieht man aber besser einen Socker drunter), und lässt sich in der Kletttasche fest verstauen, das flexible Band lässt sich auch über den dick geschwollenen Knöchel ziehen und mit seinem kräftigen Klettverschluss sicher befestigen. Mit 2-3 handelsüblichen Ersatzkühlpacks kann man problemlos mehrere Stunden durchgehend kühlen, mit Schlappen auch noch halbwegs im Haus rumgehen (was man natürlich nicht tun soll). Nach 6 Wochen wirklich intensiver Nutzung hat das Band an einem Rand leicht gefranst, was ich bei dem Preis aber völlig ok finde. Diese Bandage hat mich beim Heilungsprozess echt nach vorne gebracht.

Acheté à la suite d'une entorse à la cheville. Fait très bien son office. Je l'utilisais plusieurs fois par jours. La Housse a un peu bouloché au fur et à mesure, mais rien d'handicapant. Je n'ai rien à redire sur ce produit. Parfait !
