Relief Expert XL Shoulder Ice Pack Wrap Reusable Rotator Cuff Cold Compression for Left or Right Shoulder and Upper Arm, Large Gel Cold Pack Wrap for Arm with Soft Plush Lining - Blue

Relief Expert XL Shoulder Ice Pack/ Rotator Cuff Cold Therapy is a an excellent product. It stays in place whether walking around the house, transporting in a car, in a wheelchair, or sleeping in bed. No worries about wrapping in a towel that never seems to stay in place. The soft velour fabric is very comfortable against ones skin and if you prefer the more cooler plastic skin- side that works too!Only downside is absolutely needing a second pair of hands to secure the wrap of first strap to the back/over the shoulder and to secure the second strap around the upper arm for cold therapy support.Stays cold and dry for well over 20 minutes without any drips.I am ordering a second wrap to always have one ready as it takes 4 hours to freeze.So glad I found this wrap and gladly recommend it for recovery from shoulder replacement surgery!UPDATE: 7/24/24 Ordered and received the lilac color and am equally satisfied. So pleased to have on hand for travel. Having one 'on ice' so to speak in a cooler for continued use during a car trip is a bonus.

I ordered two because I had an injury in both shoulders and I was able to put them both on my shoulders without any help. It keeps cold enough, comfortable and you feel the pressure on your shoulder. If you had surgery or just an injury to your shoulders, you should get those. I highly recommend them.

I purchased this because of a long-standing rotator cuff injury that flares up when I exercise. I had been using ordinary ice packs but they were problematic because I had to remain perfectly still or they would fall off. That's why I went for this shoulder pack--it is contoured to fit my shoulder and it stays in place because it straps on.The tricky part is getting it strapped on, especially when my injured shoulder hurts. When I tried slipping it over my shoulder and then fastening the straps, the pain made it impossible to do this. If I had another person to tighten the straps it would not be an issue. But then I figured out how to do it myself. I fasten the two ends of the arm strap at maximum and attach only the strap that wraps around the body only at the back connecting point. I can then slip my arm through the loop created by the arm strap, pull the pack up over my shoulder, and then reach for the other strap and fasten it to the connecting point on the front of the ice pack. The arm strap is quite tight; I wish they had made it a little longer. If you have huge biceps you will probably not be able to fasten the arm strap. For my skinny arms, it is okay.The cold treatment itself is exactly what I needed. There is a choice between a vinyl side, which gives more intense cold, and a cushioned side that is not as intense. I tried them both and they work as advertised. This pack is way more convenient than loose ice packs.

Really nice product - well made, good size and shape, multiple applications. Bought for a recurring rotator cuff (shoulder ) issue. Bit of a challenge (for a guy) to put it on correctly that first time, but you get full coverage and a comfortable and secure fit. Stays plenty cold for the recommended 20 minutes and refreezes very quickly. But wait. There’s more. Just had a second hip replacement and got frustrated with the standard large pad not staying in place on the anterior of my hip/thigh area, so tried this product which worked perfectly. The upper arm section provided strapped-in-place coverage to just above the knee, and the shoulder section covered the affected hip area, also securely strapped in place. Really couldn’t ask for anything more. I just really like it.Think you will too.

Very helpful after surgery

fits good but cold only lasts maybe 15 min i use a walmart cold pack to supplement and it holds cold for 30 min plus this unit must have cheap gel packs i do not recommend

I purchased this product in June of 2022, for my husband who never used it. Thankfully I kept it because I fell about a month ago and damaged my shoulder. This product is absolutely a life saver! What a great invention! It's well made, stays cold for a long time, and fits the shoulder perfectly (I'm a big woman). Lastly, it sat in a box for two years, came out of the box like new, and has worked excellent for me.

Reviewing the XL. It is very large which is what I wanted so it would cover top, front, back and arm to my elbow. This one does that. The first one I bought I sent back because it was way to small for me.There is one issue with this one that is causing me a problem. The arm strap is too low. I get it on and in a few minutes the strap slides off the ice pack and isn't holding anything. (see the picture) The strap should be farther up on the arm band. This might not affect a person with long arms but I am a woman with shorter arms.The other drawback is getting it on. It is difficult. I have to, first, close the arm strap where I think it would be the right diameter, slide my arm into it and then pull it up over my shoulder to my neck. I don't think I would have been able to get it on myself right after surgery when my arm was very sore. It is a struggle pulling it on and up over my shoulder this way. I can't imagine how that would feel right after surgery.The straps are very long. Actually so long on me that I can't hook it the way it is meant to be hooked because I would have to reach around to the back of my good shoulder to do that. However, I have found a work around for that problem. From under my arm, go thru the loop from the top, pull the strap down and loop it back up. (See the second picture)I'm going to keep this one because I really need an ice pack NOW. And, it does do the job (especially if you have help putting it on). It seems to be well made and stays cold as long as required for a good 20 minute icing. However, should I ever have to replace it I think I would look for something easier to get on by myself. Hopefully, I won't need another one anytime soon. The ones they have where I take therapy are so soft, comfortable and simple. But, I probably couldn't afford one like they use.
