Chattanooga ColPac - Reusable Gel Ice Pack - Black Polyurethane - Standard - 10 in x 13.5 in - Cold Therapy - Knee, Arm, Elbow, Shoulder, Back - Aches, Swelling, Bruises, Sprains, Inflammation

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!

I'm giving this a 5-star rating because it is the exact one my physical therapist uses. It feels wonderful when put inside a pillow case and wrapped over my sore shoulder. Be aware, it is large. If you want to freeze it flat, you'll need a shelf to put it on without placing anything on top of it. Also, I found out you are not supposed to lie on it. I was planning to do that for my sore back. All told, I am very pleased to have this quality, big cold pack. It stays cold a sufficient time to do the job.

Superb product! I was using a cryocuff for total knee replacement surgery. My physical therapist recommended a change to the Chattanooga ColPac because the swelling in my knee continued to increase. I purchased the oversized 12.5” x 18.5” to fully cover the surgical sight and the extended swollen area. I was unable to tolerate the weight of the Chattanooga pac in an elevated position; however, this was easily solved. I iced for 20 minutes with my leg flat and straight followed by 30 minutes of elevation without the pac. I found the weight of the Chattanooga pac quite soothing to my recovering knee. I graduated from in home to out patient physical therapy. The facility is using the smaller Chattanooga pacs and said that they are also considering the larger size. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I'm on my second one. Purchased the first one before my first spinal fusion in 2016. That one lasted until February of 2022. I only got a new one because it seemed like it wasn't staying cold as long. I guess the gel inside degrades over time? The size is large enough for my lower back and it lasts a long time as well. It gets so cold that I usually have to wrap it in a dish towel before placing it on my back. I have also used it on other parts of my body as well. Such as my knee. The gel means I can shape it into anything I need. It's so soft and comfortable as well. I first found out about Chattanooga Colpac (BTW I am in Chattanooga, too😊) from a physical therapist. She swears by them. I also purchased to neck wrap because I recently had a cervical fusion. I love it!

A great flexible pack, can be folded and frozen and comes out flexible when it comes time to use. The large size is ideal. Worth getting the bigger size so you can use it on more areas. I weight train regularly and this helps my recovery.

These are nice ice packs but for the knee I would prefer to have something that holds them in place. They don't stay cold as long as the description says. I do like how moldable they are. Overall it was worth the purchase.

This ice gel pack has been amazing so far! I bought it for my right shoulder after surgery and I probably wouldn’t have used it the first couple days cause it’s pretty heavy but no I use it all the time and I love it. Freezes up really quickly and stays cold for the up to 30 minutes or more while I’m icing. I lay it flat in the freezer and it works perfectly.

This was the best purchase we have ever made. They are large and weighted with the gel, forms around the area of the body you place them on instead of being stiff and solid. My husband had a total knee replacement and these have been a lifesaver. I also had heat stroke after being on the tractor for 7 hours and when I got inside, we laid one of these on my chst/stomach, my core, and I was able to recover quickly. Highly recommend !!!

finally a cold pack that stays flexible outside the freezer and is nice and cold against my skin! I suffer from fibromyalgia and have burning skin pain every day, so applying a cold pack to my most tender points provides short-term relief. I have tried 4 cold packs and only this one is large enough and flexible enough for my back. Would highly recommend!
