Half-Size

This cold pack stays flexible so it can be formed to fit around a leg, or arm, and is big enough to use for your back.....I blew out my knee a year ago and my therapist used this cold pack on my knee, I used one of those little ones u get in the drug store and it just didnt do the job. So my G/F purchased one of these online and it was exactly what I needed. I can wrap it around my knee with ease, and the sheer weight of it keeps it in contact with the affected area. It came in extremely handy after I had my first knee surgery also. Just a few weeks I ago visited my mom and dad, and found out my father hurt his back and was in some severe pain. So my girlfriend and I drove home after dinner with my parents, grabbed the cool pack out of our freezer and gave it to my dad. The size of the pack worked perfect for his back, and he improved much faster than he thought he would. Of course I told them to keep it, and I had another one. Of course I didnt have 2 of these so I immediately ordered one from amazon that same night. It showed up 1 day before I was scheduled for another knee surgery. As before this thing has made recovery much better. I will be starting physical therapy again this week, and it is very reassuring to know I have this cold pack on hand! Granted it is the "oversize" model but when its in your freezer, and laid out straight (do not make sharp bends in it) it really makes a small footprint. As for a cover, I use a pillow case (the size is perfect) and so do the therapists...........In a pinch I can use a clean dish towel. Remember to check with your doctor/therapist for proper use, most suggest 20-30 minutes at a time in order to not damage any nerves. Another use I have found for it is to chill guacamole! No joke, we have an avocado farm near us and we get perfect cados! But no matter where u get em they are not cold, and I dont like warm guacamole. I heard that refrigerating may increase the browning of them though. So, I take a large plastic bowl and put it in the freezer along with my cold pack and turn up the freezer for 10 minutes....While this is going on I cut and skin the cados. When that is done I take out my cold pack, set it flat on the counter (sometimes prop 1 side up against the bowl too) and make my guacamole.....The good stuff comes out perfect! Green, tasty, cold, and no browning! Yes I add a bit of lemon to keep it from browning longer too, but with the cold pack and the cold bowl I dont have to cover and refrigerate the guac for a little while if I want seconds for my taquitos and such. Give it a try! This way even when u are not injured, you can make your cold pack pay for itself! I would highly recommend this product!

It was recommended by physical therapy department. Stays cold and forms to your knee. Great product.

This is the way to ice. BIG and gets the job done. My PT recommended this. I do fold it in half ( store in zip lock bag ) because of freezer space.

Excellent!!! I cannot stress enough how important cold therapy really is for pain. It truly does help so very much and this is not just your run of the mill cheaply made plastic ice pack. It is made well with a thick flexible polyurethane outer layer and full squishy inner substance. I was recently at my physical therapy appointment and close to the end of it, I was hurting pretty badly and asked for an ice pack, expecting the cheap plastic disposable thing, but no, to my most pleasant surprise, they put this on my shoulder and I was simply blown away by the quality of this thing, so I took it out of the towel it was wrapped in and started looking for product information on it and asked my physical therapist where can I get one of these, i love it, I need it... Well I found it, this is it. Anyone in any kind of pain truly needs this, from an injury to tight muscles to a headache, to cramps, to a backache, this particular ice pack is absolutely amazing, so very well made with a thicker soft, yet durable, comfortable and flexible, rubber type outer layer. I'm ordering another in the larger size also. I honestly don't leave reviews often, but this absolutely warrants one.. so I hope you get one. You will be so happy you did.

I love these cold packs! I’m a licensed massage therapist & I used them on clients all the time! I decided to get my own because of how wonderful they are. They’re great quality & I love How when they freeze, they don’t stiffen up like other cold pacs do. They definitely help me with my migraines & muscle tightness. I wish There was a Velcro hold to keep them in place because of how gushy they are, but overall, they’re great!

After recent major knee surgery, I was tired of using ice cubes in a ziplock, or frozen veggies to ice my knee. After using this ice pack in physical therapy every couple of days, I decided that I really wanted to have this at home. Purchasing through my physical therapy office was too expensive, so I was VERY happy to find this product on Amazon, and ever happier that it works phenomenally well. I ordered the oversize version because I'm 6'9" and have longer/bigger than average legs, and it wraps perfectly around my entire knee, giving relief to not just the top of the knee, but sides and underside. It really helps with swelling after a grueling physical therapy session, and provides relief after a long day of re-learning to walk again. I've had the product a little over a month and I only have two minor complaints: 1) I wish I had found it sooner; right after my injury during the 3-day gap b/t injury and surgery would have been amazing, but post-surgery is when I really needed it. I didn't start PT until 3 weeks after surgery, and didn't look into purchasing this until after a few sessions when I realized how good it was. Doctors should prescribe this ice pack (various sizes) pre/post-surgery to all knee surgery patients. It's that good. 2) I do wish it lasted just a little bit longer. It only lasts about 30 minutes at full coldness. This is usually enough, but it would be nice if it lasted like 45 minutes. I would recommend this version to anyone who wants full coverage when icing their knee/leg. The fact that it wraps all the way around my leg is what sold me, but it's also wide enough to cover my entire knee and then some. No quality issues here (knock on wood), but it's good to know the manufacturer protects against leaks etc. It does take up a lot of space in the freezer, so be aware of that. Do NOT fold it in half, arrange your freezer so you can lay it flat length-wise across the top of everything, and you'll be good to go.

These ice packs are pretty heavy duty. I got the bigger size because I wanted to go around my knee and it doesn’t go all the way around, but it goes around enough. They get super cold and I’m really happy to have good ice packs that stay cold a lot longer. They’re so easy to use and they are really helping with my swelling.

I bought this before my knee replacement because it was on the list of things I should have ready for me after surgery. It is very large and was good for covering the whole area that needed to be iced. It gets very cold, and stays cold for a long time, so be sure to put a barrier between it and your skin. I used a terry towel because of that I used this for two surgeries and it is still in perfect condition.
