ActiveWrap Shoulder Ice Pack Wrap - Rotator Cuff Cold Therapy with 2 Reusable Gel Packs for Pain Relief, Adjustable Compression for Injuries, Surgery, Tendonitis, HSA or FSA Eligible - Large/XX-Large

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 crafted, very effective for recovery from rotator cuff surgery.

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 really love this product because the design has two ice pad inserts in both front and back of the shoulder brace. This is convenient and saves time because you can simultaneously ice the front and back of shoulders. Unfortunately, the brace is too large for me--small bones. To make it fit, I inserted washcloths in the outer pockets and placed the icepacks in the inner pockets. After adjusting the arm straps, the fit wasn't tight enough. I rechecked to make sure I ordered the correct size--I did. Guess my bones are too small, even for the small/medium size. Based on the info I've provided, would I recommend this product? Most definitely yes. The concept, design, and quality are great! If the product came in a smaller size, I would definitely order it again. I also like the support, it provides to the injured shoulder (rotator cuff surgery). No, I have not received compensatory favors from the company--it's just my honest opinion. It really is a great product.

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.

I order the small/medium size knowing the chest strap was long enough for me. The problem I had was the arm hole is just a bit to small for me. I contacted ActiveWrap customer service and they were more than willing to make me happy. While conversing with Dorian in customer service I mentioned that I ended up having surprise shoulder surgery after I had ordered the small shoulder wrap. “We have a Post-Op version” I was told. It has no arm hole but a 2nd Velcro strap to secure the wrap. It works wonderful for someone in an arm sling. Currently I do not see it listed on Amazon, but it is on ActiveWrap’s web site. The ice packs that came with the Post-Op version are the same size but their color and graphics are quite different. They are slightly heavier and cold packs only - they do last longer, maybe 2x (again Post-Op Version). A nice feature of the ActiveWrap ice packs is flexibility, softness. They contour nicely around my shoulder providing a larger contact patch than some other ice packs that I have. I highly recommend this shoulder wrap and ActiveWrap customer service is a pleasure to deal with.

This product works well when using the supplied gel packs for cold therapy. It is well put together and should last a long time. I have a 41 inch chest and I purchased a L/XL size. It seems to be a bit too large for my body (5' 11" 173 lbs). It is not as snug as I would like around my shoulder. The Velcro straps help but to ensure good contact against my shoulder, I have to pull them so tight the wrap folds over and becomes uncomfortable. I like the way the packs maintain flexibility when frozen and their form stays consistent as they cool down. What I don't like about the packs is what you have to do to heat them up. You are required to put them in a container, submerge them in water and then put them in the microwave. Even after doing that I had problems with even heating. There would be extremely hot spots, usually on the edges.

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!
