I'm now two weeks post-op from my second total knee replacement and am sleeping so much better after my second surgery than my first as I'm using my SMI cold therapy ice packs instead of the circulating ice water cooler! My gel packs stay cold for four hours and stay in place even if I move while sleeping, the cooler hose and pad did not give me that freedom. As well it is very easy to just swap out my gel packs for two from the freezer in the middle of the night, versus having to empty the cooler and refill it with fresh ice again. So grateful my hospital, University of Florida Leesburg, discharged me with SMI cold therapy gel packs. I'll be a customer for life!
It's a good product and stays frozen for a long time.
I was fortunate to be given 2 of these cold packs when discharged after my knee replacement surgery. A closer look at this product revealed the packets of gel within the cold packs. Brilliant. They stay cold longer and the packets can be moved around inside the gel to target an area. I purchased 2 pairs so I'll always have a backup for my extra large wrap.
I was introduced to SMI cold therapy cold packs and pouch while I was in the hospital having a hip replacement. The first thing I noticed is that they hold their cold for several hours, far longer than any other cold pack I have ever used. I even went so far as to purchase 4 more cold packs with pillows so I can keep them in rotation in the freezer. The packs don't sweat and they wick away moisture from your skin. So you can actually have the cold pack directly against your skin. I'm hooked! We tossed out all our other cold packs and replaced them with SMI cold packs. We love these products!!
Awesome cold therapy knee wrap-my knee feels great after 20 minutes of use.
