Gel Cold & Hot Pack - 11x14.5" Reusable Warm or Ice Pack for Injuries, Hip, Shoulder, Knee, Back Pain - Hot & Cold Compress for Swelling, Bruises, Surgery - Heat & Cold Therapy

Terrific quality! Price-point for this item is the beat value you will find. Best Uses : NECK (fold up All 3 sections together). BACK (Spine, place long-wise up/down) SHOULDER (Leave flat and mold to affected area) Pros: Made in USA. Freezes quickly. Remains very cold 2-3 hours depending upon placement. Very well made. Soft enough to be comfortable but not flimsy. Cons: None Things to know: It is heavy but thats part of the point with this sized pack. You MUST use a barrier between pack and skin. I use the slip-cover from my electric heating pad, which is just enough to prevent skin discomfort. This size is for larger areas. It is flexible but its not going to mold completely around all joints. I'd suggest you use a strap (Ace bandage, nylon with buckle, etc ) to secure on an ankle or shoulder. But your body-size will dictate that. I am looking to see if this maker has a small size for small areas or even my lunchbox!

Thick with gel. stays cold for a long time. Used for hip an back issues.

Seems to be much more durable than other large cold pads, much more so than those I bought in DME stores in the past. It holds the cold for a good long time. As it heats up the gel remains in position and does not pool at the bottom. That, plus the pad is divided into three sections, makes it easier to find a place in the freezer to chill it. I cool mine in a door shelf. Excellent product.

I am really glad I bought this.It stays cold for a long time.The main reason I love it is that its not cheaply made, and after a few uses,falls apart.This pack is nicely made.And it is a huge pack that can cover a large area such as my back.I am very impressed with it.I recommend it to everyone.

Best ice pack ever and I've had ALOT!!! Good construction, great size, stays cold longer, flexible, slightly weighted so it stays in place AND ONLY $14.99. I ordered 2 more after I received the first one as my husband and I have both had surgery on our knee and shoulder. GREAT PRODUCT!!!!

The ice packs are large enough to fit any part of the body that you need to apply the ice pack to. The material inside the pack lets you mold it to the limb, such as the arm or leg. The pack last at least an hour and actually puts me to sleep; very relaxing when I applied it to my knee.

I just had knee replacement surgery, and this pack is great. It's big enough to cover knee and both sides. It's sturdy and it gives a little bit of weight for comfort.

The product was as expected. It was not quite as flexible as I thought it would be. Instead of one big square that can be molded around the area needed, it is broken into three rectangular strips. One great improvement would be two to three straps to secure the cold pact around joints. They need not be permanently attached, but at least included. I needed to ice my calf and it was very difficult to wrap it around to get the sides. I used three stretch exercise rubber bands. But, overall I give this a 4 star rating as it is as advertised.

I followed all the specific instructions for hot therapy and nothing worked to make this product usable. Even adjusted for microwave size, heat was very uneven across the pack and 'kneading' the gel did not provide full coverage of the heat. Adding more microwave time just made the edges really hot while there were still cold spots across the pack. Instructions also say "Do not sit on lean on pack", and that makes this product effectively unusable as well. It does not have straps to hold it onto body parts, so it has to work only by laying on one's skin and that's not usually workable for most pain locations. Overall, I found this product pretty useless.

Purchased two of the cold packs and I have not tried this product yet. However, one of boxes was ripped open and neither box had the "Premium Quality" seal as noted in the product photos. I'm skeptical about its authenticity now.
