Must have for knee injury sufferers

Bought this because I was using it in physical therapy and I wanted the exact same brand to have at home. I had acl/meniscus surgery and this is perfect after a rehab session. I've used several other gel packs before this but will never use another except my elasto-gel. 9" x 24" is good size because it wraps perfectly around my leg but will also work for back pain or any other aches.

Knee surgery must have!

I bought this wrap after about 2 months post-ACL reconstruction surgery and wish I would have had it all along. This should be a prerequisite for any person considering knee surgery! I am now 1.5 years post-surgery and will still use it on occasion. The best thing about this is the velcro wrap...it will not come loose when you shift your position AND you can wear it while walking about the house....very nice! While I have used this for my knee (and the sore knees of visiting triathlete friends), I also lent this to my neighbor who was suffering from a severe ankle sprain and he was able to use this wrap. I like the versatility of this particular size wrap for that reason (as compared to some of the more body-part specific wraps that Elasto-Gel sells).

Summary: must have in any household freezer! Sure beats a bag of peas! =)

A flawed gem

This gel-pad is a gem because it is big enough to wrap around a larger thigh as well as a slender forearm. The flaw is that with only two velcro straps to keep it in place it often slips and you need to readjust it.

Cold Wrap

This is our second type of wrap. It works pretty good. When "frozen", it is still plyable (the old ((Icee Type)) is rigid - not bendable when frozen), which enables you to "mold it" into the area you want it to cover. It is heavier than the older type, and the coldness doesn't last as long (about 1/2 hour). We purchased 2, different sizes, so we can cycle them in the freezer if we need to have a continuous cooling. Of course, the older type can't be used for heat, but we haven't used this on heat either.

Used to deliver hot or cold therapy to any area and will conform to almost any body part. Product comes with two Velcro straps to hold your Elasto-Gel comfortably in place. The tough, flexible gel will not leak if punctured and the 4-way stretch material will help ensure product durability and effective therapy and pain management. Like the other Elasto-Gel products, this can be put in the microwave for heating or in the freezer for cooling. Stays soft and pliable, even at -20 F. Provides 20-40 minutes of treatment per application.
