NatraCure® Cold/Hot Therapy Wrap (Hand, Foot, Wrist, Elbow) (FBA715 CAT)

I want to respond to some of the negative reviews. This wrap is great. One said the ice pack is to small. You should wear it across your arch as shown in the picture. They should fit most any foot. I have a large foot and my wife foot is very small and they fit both of us. The velcro will stick to any part of the strap. I bought two so I can ice both feet at the sometime. My doctor says to ice for 30 minutes at a time. They stay plenty cold for that and much longer. These are so much better than a ice pack. Since you attach them around your foot you can cross your legs or move normally. Don't walk on them that maybe too much pressure on the packs. Last thing one person was upset about no returns. They cost $10.00 bucks. If that is going to break you, you should probably not be shopping for anything and use a plastic bag with ice. Your cost maybe 5 cents. Take a chance and you wont regret it.

This is a great ice pack kit. It holds the ice pack firmly in place against the needed area, and you can put it on as loose or as tight as you like. It is only good for ankle, wrist or foot though (medium adult or child) as the wrap is just the right size for these applications. I have used it for a sprained ankle/ foot and it was very helpful. The ice pack is removable and doesn't take up much room in the freezer either. I was a bit worried it was going to be much good because when it arrived the ice pack was quite fluid on the inside, but after being frozen, the ice pack keeps cool for about 20 minutes which is a perfect ice application time. I plan to buy a second one!

These velcro onto the foot nicely, and they are decently cold. It's enough to penetrate into the foot for some relief of inflammation. If you're looking for a real deep freeze these will not perform at the level of a gel pack applied directly to the skin, but I have a very high threshold for pain induced by cold things pressed to my feet. I suspect for many if not most this will be a great option especially for ball of the foot pain.

I had tendonitis of my extensor tendons on my right foot. These are the tendons that run along and beside the bones of the instep (depicted in picture). The cold wrap was perfect in its ability to apply both cold from the gel pack as well as compression laterally across the foot at an angle resting on the extensors. The combination of cold as well as pulling the strap tight with the velcro to get compression aided in my recovery. Of course, rather than applying it directly to my foot, I wore a sock to that the cold wouldn't burn my skin. If you are applying ice using this, make sure to buy more than one because due to the small size, the ice pack only stays cold for about 10 minutes. So the solution was to have one in the freezer while using the other for a single round of 15 minutes of ice. Even after the gel pack was no longer cold, the compression still worked The pack remaining cold for 10 minutes is not a flaw, it is physics (thermodynamics, warm foot against small gel pack). Not sure why but I could not get the gel pack to freeze even after overnight in freezer, but it did get super cold. It is a quality product that works as advertised.

I love the idea of the product as it was exactly what I needed for the plantar fasciitis I developed, however, for some that is supposed to wrap around your ankle, foot, wrist, etc I expect it to have a decent Velcro strap to hold it in place. I have above average sized feet (men’s 15 extra wide). The wrap fits around my foot, but any slight movement or disturbance in the force and it comes off. Even after folding it up to freeze just the slightest touch opens it up. To get it to stay in place I had to wrap a small towel around the ice pack to keep it from coming apart. I love the idea, but the Velcro used to secure it needs to be better.

Broke a couple of my toes and trying to fit and keep an ice pack on the foot was frustrating. I have some very good ice packs that I bought on Amazon, but they are big so they shift and didn't seem to be effective. If it had been my ankle instead of my toes, the ones I had would have been fine but I would lots rather have my toes be the problem! Doctor stressed the importance of ice so I looked locally, even at Wal . . ., and didn't see anything quite like this. It is great! It will be useful for years. I have already used it on a badly bruised hand that I got from falling on the ice. Remember that this is designed for the smaller areas of our bodies that need to have a wrap to hold the ice pack on, such as wrists, hands, feet, forearm, and the ankle. The ice pack is not big. It is attached to the wrap, which I really didn't understand until it arrived. I am sure it must come off so you can clean the wrapping, but I haven't looked carefully. I guess I don't care. Price was super reasonable, and the product is super useful. Only takes a small space up in your freezer too. I am going to buy another one for the little fridge in my office so that I can use it whenever the arthritis in my hands gets troublesome. Very happy with it, obviously!

This product is nice as it allows the ice pack to be directly on the skin, whereas a lot of others you slip the ice pack into a sleeve, making an insulated contact which doesn't allow much cold/heat to transfer The ice pack only stays cold for about 15 minutes after having been in freezer for a whole day. This is not a problem, as my doctor advised to not ice more than 15 minutes at a time anyway, and it's fairly expected since it is a small pack. It stays hot a lot longer. I microwave it for 9 seconds on each side. Any longer and its a bit too hot to use immediately. This was perfect for my wrist and around the ankle to hit the back of the heel. I plan on getting a second so I can easily alternate hot and cold right after the other.

I am very sensitive to cold/hot to my skin. So I had to add a washcloth in between the ice pack and my foot to tolerate it. I can still feel the cold but at a reduced level to what I can withstand. It absolutely helps the pain in my foot at the end of each day. I like that I got the 2 pack for a great price, so if I need to ice both I can. Without the washcloth, the wrap would be too large for my foot size also, so the washcloth benefits me in more ways than one. I would recommend this. But if you have narrow feet, the Velcro may not connect properly.

molto pratico, la parte da mettere in freezer si può staccare, in più la polsiera è anche facilmente regolabile

Bought this to speed up healing of slight perineal tendinitis (from doing a lot of walking on cambered path) and I wish I'd known about this years ago with foot injuries I've had from running! You can achieve the same result with a bag of frozen peas more or less, but the little gel ice pack takes up little room in your freezer, and I think the main difference in why it's so good is that the gel pack once frozen can wrap or mold around your foot, or joint, or whatever you are icing and the velcro strap adds extra compression whilst it's on. Yeah it's true I think it only stays ice cold for about 15 mins max but any longer and you'll destroy cells haha. Oh and I found another use that if you want to make your beer/drink cold then wrap this around for 15 mins and you have a cold drink!

Helpful for plantar fasciitis pain / foot pain

I have Achilles tendonitis both feet and these wraps are perfect from the freezer to my ankles. Give 20 mins good ice cooling which is just enough for my therapy. I also have NatraCure cooling socks to too.

Used for my arm a little bit to small to fit around biceps but would be perfect for wrist or foot
