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

I am an RN who has used many, as well as made my own ice packs. Recently sustained a knee injury and ordered this Vive ice pack/wrap. It is wonderful! Just put it in freezer, or put the 3 artic-flex ice packs in freezer. Wrap it around your knee, right or left, and it feels so good. You can walk around with it on and it stays in place- unlike others that roll down or don't stay cold. This one is soft, flexible, and can be worn under clothes on skin, or over yoga pants. The velcro straps are stretchy and long enough to wrap around a larger thigh for hamstring area or swollen knee area or calf area. I like the compression that I can control depending on level of swelling or soreness I have. It is made well and I would definitely recommend this for cold therapy- oh and it can also be used for heat therapy! Excellent quality and value for the money. I will be purchasing more to be given as gifts!

I tore my ACL and have been doing Physical Therapy. They have a machine for icing at the end. It's a sleeve that compresses and uses cold water. I love it and wanted something as similar as possible. This brace is very comfortable and allows me to tighten it around my knee. It's also really cold. It will retain the cold for about 30 minutes or so, but it also doesn't take long to get cold either. It was definitely worth the money for me!

This thing is legit a game changer. I just got a total knee replacement and I’m about a week past my surgery, so I’m icing a lot. This wrap gets all sides of my knee: front, top, and back. It’s so easy to get on by myself, and I love that it has 3 compartments for the ice bags to spread out the cold, or customize it if I’m not in the mood for all 3. A friend recommended this to me, and it’s legit a game changer. The ice packs for cold so fast and stayed cold for a while. I really wanted the pink one but it took longer to ship so I went with the one that was overnight. It’s very durable and the Velcro seems strong and sturdy. It’s a little bulky, but not so much that I have to worry about it walking around with crutches. My husband has also been in some pain just helping me around and wrapped it around his arms when I didn’t need it and it also worked great for that. 5/5 stars for sure!!!

This was great for my daughter’s knee injury! The ice wrapped all the way around the knee instead of just sitting on top. The material, including the ice packs, seem very durable! The Velcro is strong. I think we’ll have this product for a long time and be able to use it for multiple injuries.

My wife recently had a full knee replacement, the hospital gave us a nice ice pack that last up to 4 hours, with one refill pack, but didn't wrap completely around (top/bottom), so we needed extra ice packs. I ordered 2 sets of these, and she really likes them. They cover the knee and also under the knee, they last about 2 hours of staying cold. They're easy to put on, but if the ice packs are frozen, they are a little struggle to put into the sleave, but once in place, they work very well. If you've had or getting ready to have knee surgery, I recommend getting these, at least 2 or ordering extra gel packs because you're going to need to ice the knee as much as possible.

Purchased the 2-pack and have been using them for about a week as general relief after the day. I'm a big guy, and these fit my legs just fine. Hook and loop (Velcro) hold is excellent, and appears to be pretty durable. Was nice to be able to use our HSA to purchase these.I've only used them with frozen packs, and they get cold enough that I feel relief even through sweat pants for at least the recommended 20 minutes of application. I'd recommend adding a kitchen towel or something of similar thickness under them until they warm up a bit.I keep them in the freezer fully assembled, but the nice part about the removable packs is I can still get them in the freezer if I need the space, and if they ever wear out and leak, I can make new ones with custom FoodSaver bags and the rubbing alcohol/water mix you can find online.

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 typicalgel 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!!

Just what I needed. Gets and stays really cold. Stays in place even when I’m walking around. The price was good for the quality of the brace. The brace is not thin and has good support for what it does. It has nice compression and it’s comfortable.
