Elasto Gel Hot/Cold Wrap,foot and Ankle Wrap, 2-Pound

thank u

This is the most effective genuis way to ice an ankle. Unfortunately I have had several fractures and using ice had always been uncomfortable. Its either too hard, doesn't fit or conform to the affected area right, fall off the area, leaks, pinholes somehow sometimes are on the outside, strings that come loose or it falls after tied, too big, too small, or takes up too much space in the freezer. So many different types of ice packs that just dont work for me. This one is perfect. It freezes quickly so you can use it several times throughout the day. Takes very little freezer space because it lays flat. VERY soft, great fit for any size foot, long enough strap to wrap around, freezes quick, lasts 30+ min for me, cold enough to feel & do the job but not freeze your foot where you want to remove it earlier than what you need. Fits well above your ankle as well You can even use it on your elbow if you get creative with the strap. It feels so good and is very comfortable you can move around the couch or wherever you are sitting, laying, the strap holds great. You can put it in the microwave as well if you need a heat instead of ice. Be sure to keep it in the plastic bag it comes in when you freeze it. Its a sturdy plastic ziploc type of bag. I will be getting another one for my other foot.

「かかとを冷やすのが難しい」と言っていた抗がん剤治療を受ける友人に、両足分プレゼントしました。お世辞で言ってくれたのかもしれませんが、かかとががっちり冷やせる、看護師さんも見てびっくりしていた、とのことでした。本当は足先まですっぽり包めるものが欲しかったのですが、足先は他のものでも代用できそうなので、まぁこれでよかったのかな、と思っています。

This is a very cold gel ice pack. I actually have been using it on my knee and it works good.

We call it my ice boot, and I wear it while watching the news every night after exercising (I have osteoarthritis in my ankles). I haven't tried it hot- I use a hot water bottle for that, especially when I do 10 minutes hot, 10 minutes cold as recommended by the physio.

I can't believe I've been using a square cold pack all these years like a sucker. Martha Steward was right (this time), always have the right tool for the job. This ankle wrap is perfect; I damaged my Achilles' tendon the other day and I wish I would have gotten this right away instead of thinking that my cold pack was adequate. This is made for the foot for heaven's sake. The picture shows a guy with a bare foot but it's much too cold to use without a sock. I almost want to say that it's colder than ice. The directions say to freeze for a minimum of two hours which is just fine. I let it freeze for two hours the first time I used it and it lasted about 30 minutes. I let it freeze overnight the next time and it lasted 35 minutes. This is perfect because "they" always say to ice the foot for only 20-30 minutes and then let the muscle thaw down before applying cold again. If you have a foot injury don't hesitate to purchase. It fits right on your foot, the straps hold it in place, and you can do your RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) just fine without a square, rigid, ice pack slipping everywhere. I really wish I would have had this from the beginning -- as soon as I started using it my foot started to get better (along with KT Tape).
