Vive Knee Ice Pack Wrap - Cold/Hot Gel Compression Brace - Heat Support Strap for Arthritis Pain, Tendonitis, ACL, Athletic Injury, Osteoarthritis, Women, Men, Running, Meniscus and Patella Surgery

Just started using this a couple of days ago but so far it's so much better than any other ice products I've used. The full knee wrap, including the behind the knee cold pack, is so effective at reducing the heat and swelling. Good quality materials, seems very well made, very sticky closures. More effective than the typical single gel pack, by far, at reducing pain quickly.

These ice packs are comfortable and efficient. They provide cold/heat around the entire knee and fit snuggly. Highly recommended.

This is an awesome ice pack that wraps around your knee. It covers the front, sides, and back. It’s great for knee recovery. Can also heat up the packs but I’ve not tried that yet

Soft and comfortable, velcro straps easy to use and hold well, and wrap is large enough to cover knee completely. Well made. Highly recommend!

While it’s not comfortable to walk around with it even at home, I found it pretty decent product. It has 3 ice pockets: 2 on the front and one on the back. It can be very useful for those on a bed rest.

The recovery tool I wish I had for my previous full knee replacement! I have now had both knees fully replaced. My first recovery was good, and I diligently rotated ice treatments as directed, using reusable ice bags from the hospital and typical gel packs wrapped in towels as we did for our kids’ sports injuries. After my 2nd full knee replacement my orthopedic surgeon emphasized being especially diligent about rotating ice to reduce swelling and promote healing, and suggested looking for a wraparound because behind the knee tissue is important, too. This knee wrap is OUTSTANDING! I have also purchased a gel replacement pack (comes with 3 packs) so I do 15 minutes on/off many times during the day and don’t have long stretches without icing. I am 3 weeks out from surgery and healing is going GREAT! My mobility is ahead of the norm, pain and swelling reduced, my doc was thrilled! This wrap has really changed my recovery experience - a game changer well worth the cost. I got the black with turquoise trim, which looks quite snazzy - my PT doc was super impressed and took down the info intending to purchase several for herself and her practice. Very durable so far, three weeks of daily heavy use and pack rotation to the freezer; Gel packs have a heavy-duty covering so no punctures or failures. Fits well, super adjustable with 4 straps which ensure a snug fit all around; one is longer for the thigh (which fits my plus-size thigh area). I use a 6” Ace bandage wrap or a 12” gentle compression sleeve underneath to ensure the right level of chill is hitting the surgical areas without over-chilling. Portable, stretchy, easy to use. LOVE THIS!!

This is the best knee icing system for the price point that I have tried. I have congenital chondromalacia patellae. My knees have been "bad" since I was a child. Multiple knee surgeries and injuries have left me with a lot of swelling from normal activities, and my knees creak so loudly that my family can hear me coming. I require regular icing, and I need something that can stay secured if I am moving around. This product provides that. The fasteners are strong, and the four-point attachment allows for easy adjustments for comfort. There are three removable ice packs, two vertical to run on either side of the patella, and one horizontal to wrap around the sides and back on the knee. This does impede movement—walking up stairs or bending the leg to tuck in under a table can be awkward. Regular walking is easy enough. Compression is possible with the adjustable nature of the straps. You can vary the strength of how tightly it hugs from top to bottom. I am plus-sized, with a 13 inch measurement at the upper part of my knee/lower part of my thigh. Lots of knee braces hit me too tightly at the thigh and restrict blood-flow. This is adjustable enough to be comfortable! Major, major advantage for me. For small folks, this might actually prove too big to be comfortable because of the length of the posterior ice pack. The provided measurements were accurate for me. The ice packs are awkward to try and insert into the brace pockets when fully frozen, so I freeze the whole brace at one time. The thickness of the ice packs makes for a good 20 minute cold-front against hot and swelling skin, which is right around the perfect amount for recommended icing times.

Great product. I put this to the test prior to my total knee replacement. Gel packs were in the freezer for 24 hours, then put packs in wrap and tightened wrap around knee. (I had on a pair of denim jeans under the wrap). Circumference around my kneecap was 17 inches and wrap covered entire knee-front & back. After 1 hour the wrap was still cold & skin was red and felt very cold (I know don't leave on skin for more than 20 min but wanted to see how packs performed). Wrap has a tendency to slip down if walking-perhaps I didn't have velcro tight enough. The wrap is well made. If you need extra ice packs so you always have cold ones ready to go consider buying 2 complete wraps with included gel packs which at the time of this writing cost $59.99. A single compete wrap with 3 gel packs cost $32.99. Whereas extra gel packs (3) alone cost $22.99. Do the math and it'll cost you $4.01 more for two compete wraps so you can toss the entire extra wrap in the freezer with gel packs already installed and not have to mess with taking out the thawed packs and install cold ones.
