ActiveWrap Shoulder Ice Pack Wrap, Small/Medium – Includes 2 Reusable Hot & Cold Gel Packs for Rotator Cuff Cold Therapy, Ice Shoulder Wrap with Adjustable Compression for Post-Surgery Recovery

I am currently using this to ice my shoulder having undergone rotator cuff muscle repair 2 weeks ago. I showed up at my surgeon's office wearing it and he said, "That's absolutely a great way to ice." It's very convenient having 2 sets of ice packs. It fits snugly, and I actually have better and more comfortable support for my shoulder and arm than in the sling issued to me after surgery. I find that this contains my arm successfully and I am prevented from doing any movement that would harm it. The ice is long-lasting and penetrating from both front and back. There are two pockets for ice; one pocket puts it closer to the surface of the skin. It's easy to put on and take off. Took me a little while to figure out how to do it myself, but once I got chest strap adjusted correctly, it's now very easy. I highly recommend this product. I have all the ActiveWrap hot/cold therapy wraps now and have used them all successfully for various injuries and conditions. This is a winner from a very winning company. As far as I'm concerned, it's worth a little bit more than some of the others because of the quality.

About a month ago, I had rotator cuff surgery; the procedure I underwent was Superior Capsular Reconstruction. Once the large bandage was removed (three days after surgery), I used the ActiveWrap with gel pouches. While the large bandage was in place, I used the Ice Pack the hospital provided, along with a frozen bag of peas. The ActiveWrae product performed better than expected, reducing swelling. I used it for 20 minutes, then took a 40-minute break, during the first week after surgery. In the second week, I iced the surgically repaired shoulder five times a day. I am maintaining this routine and continue using it after therapy. I ordered two additional gel pouches, which proved helpful, and I recommend them along with the ActiveWrap shoulder ice pack wrap. I found the ActiveWrap ice pack easy to use, and unlike the plug-in ice machine, it provides mobility while icing, and costs much less. As suggested, I ordered the extra-large size for shoulder reconstruction surgery; however, once the large bandage was removed, the large size would have been sufficient. I found the gel pouches remain cold for about 30 minutes, which is 10 minutes longer than recommended. I am incredibly pleased with the product and highly recommend it.

This wrap is a lifesaver especially if you had rotator cuff surgery. Its perfect, beautiful fit and allows you not to be tethered to ice machine. Highly recommend this product, it came beautifully packaged as well! I promise you will need this , ICE is your best friend after surgery!!!!

Well made and dos the job

This shoulder wrap is VERY well made. It is easy to put on and remove. It provides HEAT OR COLD relief around my ENTIRE shoulder and stays in place (unlike trying to use a rectangular gel pack). A shout out for the seller—I ordered a size Large because I had read a couple of reviews saying that the shoulder wrap ran small. When I received my size Large, the tightening strap went part way around my back because it was simply too big for me. Also, the top of the shoulder portion rippled because there was so much more space in that area than my shoulder could fill. I reached out to the seller through Amazon to ask for a replacement Small/Medium. They quickly sent me the replacement cloth portion, along with a pre-paid shipping label to return the size Large. In two days, I had that replacement! Their customer service matches the quality of their product. Highly recommend!

I had a total reverse shoulder replacement. I would not recommend it for this. It's has a bottom strap that does not detach, so you would have to cut. Because you cannot move your arm the way you need to to get it over it. I did try just setting it on there using the body strap. It does not provide enough cold for your swelling needs post surgery. If you have an injury this may be better then for surgery recovery.

Bought this after a shoulder injury. Comes with 2 of their gel/ ice packs. You can use 1 or both at same time. Each side has a sleeve that you slide it into. Im able to use this for about 30 to 45 mins and then throw gel packs in freezer for next time. Haven't tried to use it for heat. Definitely worth the $$ in my opinion. Some have said it didn't fit. Can't see how as it is adjustable and can go on either shoulder

It is one of the best shoulder ice wraps I found. However, one major improvement I would like to see is the sleeves where you put the ice packs could have some way to close to keep the slippery ice packs from falling out. When a person who had shoulder surgery tries to put it on using one arm the ice pack tends to slide out before you can attach the shoulder wrap to your shoulder. My one other problem I had with the ice pack is I am a busty woman 38 inch bust. The small medium shoulder pack fits great! ( I have Smaller arm & shoulder) However, the chest strap is very tight despite the product advertising it fits a 40 inch chest. I kept the shoulder wrap because I really did like the way the ice pack surrounded my shoulder and did a great of icing it. With the high cost, I did not want to order a large and have the shoulder packs be too large, and then I couldn't ice my shoulder. I may in time order the large to see if the chest strap will work better, since the medium small is very tight on a busty woman! I did rate this as a 4 star since the ice pack part of the shoulder did a nice job of conforming to my shoulder and chilling down my surgically repaired shoulder.

This is a well made piece of kit. Finally I can be mobile whilst administering heat to a very difficult part of the body. A definite pain reliever for frozen shoulder.

As mentioned by a few buyers, it is a little bulky and heavy. The weight is due to the heating/icing gel packs. The wrap fits nicely on me and there are little spaces here and there that cannot fit to my body. I like the fact that there are two pockets for me to insert the gel packs. One for mild effect while the other offers a stronger effect. The strap allows my body to bear part of the weight unlike other type of shoulder wraps that require my already-injured shoulder to bear the weight alone. Having been discharged from a major shoulder surgery just 3 weeks ago, this is especially helpful. After searching extensively, this ActiveWrap is the closest thing to what was used on me in hospital by physiotherapists, since theirs are not available on public shelves.

excellent product with being hot /cold gel packs ,fits shoulder great .Also works well without packs for support for shoulder when walking or working.

Works well, Can't go wrong.

Bought for my brother-in-law and he said it helped a lot and worked great!
