The DuraSoft Knee Sleeve Ice Pack Wrap has two ice inserts which provide continuous cold or hot therapy to the knee area. This knee ice pack wrap is suitable for knee injuries both acute and chronic, and is also suitable for post operative use for rehabilitation.
The product provides effective cryotherapy which can reduce pain and swelling, and can also facilitate faster recovery from injury. All DuraSoft Ice Pack Wraps can effectively penetrate surgical dressings to decrease pain, swelling and secondary hypoxic tissue injury. If you need replacement sleeves or extra ice inserts get the DuraSoft Knee Sleeve and the Additional Ice Insert from the website.
The wrap does "exactly what it says on the tin". Simply freeze the ice pack inserts, insert them into the ice pack wrap, and wrap around the leg securing with the elasticated straps. The ice inserts of the knee ice pack wrap are constructed from gel cells that freeze. As the gel cells are separated within the ice pack itself, rather than the ice pack being a solid slab of ice when frozen, you are able to bend and shape the ice inserts around the leg as required to provide good contact with the knee and leg for effective cold therapy. The inserts can also be heated to apply heat therapy to the area, so you can alternate methods.
Please follow the instructions below to make the most of your DuraSoft Ice Pack.
The knee straps are excellent for both grip and compression.However the velcro that secures the pack in place feels like it is coming off. This is because there is just a running stitch through it, rather than stitching all around it. I also feel that another one or two velcro tabs are required, as with just the one tab, the pack can escape slightly out of the corners and ends up directly on bare skin, not what you want.Otherwise it's comfortable, stays in place and two packs ensures you should always have a frozen pack.The packs chill sufficiently in just over two hours and are flexible rather than solid. This makes fitting them easy.Delivery wise it was disappointing the time it took, I expected express delivery to take a couple of days, it took almost a week, it was over new year but it should have arrived before new year.That said I would but this product again.

I have been using this after microfracture surgery on my knee. The two ice pack inserts are good quality and switching between them enables you to use the pack every 2 hours. The sleeve is a bit too small for the packs, which means you have a tricky job of getting the small Velcro fastening at the top done up. The Velcro straps are good quality, but if they attach themselves to the inside of the wrap they really snag it badly. I found it too cold to use without a layer of kitchen roll or my tubigrip under it. I have been using it 4 times a day for 4 weeks and it is still holding together. Despite its shortcomings it is much more convenient than using ice/frozen peas and a towel.
An excellent product and definitely as efficient as much more expensive options from other manufacturers. Plus the frozen gel was easy to mould around the appropriate limb area.
effective product
Use these regularly after very long cycle rides. Do exactly as they are supposed to do, they apply cold to the entire knee rather than just part of it, and the Velcro fastening is very strong.
