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

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

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.

Effective in applying cold compression to my wounded knee. Product facilitated the healing process to a badly sprained knee. Liked the fact you could put the entire brace in the freezer without messing around with other moving parts.

This product is doing exactly what I needed it to do - help me put ice on an injured knee. As stated in the product video, this wrap will start to slide down a little if you are standing or walking around (due to the weight of the ice packs in the wrap), but I just sat down for the 15 minute ice applications. Velcro and fabric seems robust after a week of use - very pleased with it and happy that the ice packs are positioned for both the front and back of the knee.

works great . my knees haven't felt this good in a long time . seams well built and should last a wile . will by extra packs so i have three cold and three hot .
