GREAT FOR HOT/COLD PAIN RELIEF THERAPY -
_______________________________________________________
-- I injured my knee and was diagnosed with a bucket-handle meniscus tear. Very painful. After exhausting my freezer's ice supply, including bags of frozen vegetables, I started looking for a better solution.
Before deciding to go with this ActiveWrap product I read a lot of reviews. I also asked my orthopedic surgeon for his advice. After looking into similar products the selling points that ultimately convinced me to go with this ActiveWrap were as follows:
No mess, no leaking reusable packs
Compression straps large enough to be "spiraled" for focused compression
Velcro easy self-fastening design
Heat/ice packs that could be positioned/targeted
Pack gel thick enough not to "push away" from the compression point
Lightweight and comfortable
This ActiveWrap meets this criteria and really helped in my recovery and pain management. I bought the ActiveWrap Hot/Cold Reusable Compress Therapy Large Replacement Ice Packs (2) 7x10 BAW004 and recommend adding these extra packs if you plan on using this for extended periods of time. Even now that I have recovered from my meniscus tear ordeal I still keep a couple of these packs in the freezer to have them ready just in case they're needed.
I also like that these packs can also be heated. I haven't used them as heat packs as of this writing but it's nice to know that they can perform this double duty.
This was a great purchase and really improved my quality of life during my recovery.

"The Knee Ice Wrap I ordered arrived the day before I was released form the hospital following my knee replacement. I've been using this excellent product (much better than the one used at the hospital) ever since I returned home. I've owned quite a few ice wraps and this one is by far the best. My only disappointment is that I didn't order additional ice inserts. Thank you for your excellent service."

"We received our ActiveWrap back wrap and want you to know how much we appreciate it. I was prescribed a support by my spine specialist at the Cleveland Clinic which I couldn't wear because it was too painful so they recommended a softer support. The ActiveWrap low back wrap was perfect as I wear it without the gel pad inside without any pain or discomfort."

"This is the best item like this I've found. Most cold packs never get/stay cold enough--this one does. And the wrap is terrific, allows you to put it on whatever part of your foot is ailing. Beautifully designed and functional."
