I have used this product in the past for a rotor cuff repair & bicep tear with fantastic results. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through the pain & aftercare without it. I gave it to a friend to use - so I needed to buy a second one for the surgery I just had last week.
I am CURRENTLY using this for a full knee replacement and the pain would be unmanageable without this product. My swelling is getting under control, and it has helped with my pain to the point where I can nap and sleep for a few hours at night which is a gift ! Using ice packs does NOT compare to this product. It circulates very cold ice water through a thin pack that has velcro straps. You can position this where you need it, use the straps to secure it, and not worry about leaking, jumping up and down to replace the ice- just sit back and enjoy the comfort of cold therapy helping you heal for hours. It is the best investment I have ever made for these types of injuries. You can also use this if you strain a muscle, twist an ankle, have chronic back pain, migraines, and so much more.
This product is well made, sturdy and easy to carry. I have no negative comments to report in all of the years I have been using it. It may seem pricey, but you will find it is the best money you have ever spent to get you through a surgical recovery !!!
In order to get the país to work consistently, I have to lay them out face up until they become cold, then put them on me. Otherwise only one side gets cold.
Hi Kevin! Thank you for the feedback. The filling issue sometimes happens. We have noticed that if the velcro straps are pulled tightly, that can sometimes kink the pads at a point where the water cannot infiltrate the whole pad. If the pad is laid out flat and it works, the kinking might be the culprit. If you can loosen up a bit on the velcro straps, does that help the pad cool down?
It helped so much. So reliable and easy to ice my new knee after replacement surgery.
Love the ice man after my knee replacement. It’s been my best friend!
Brought to use after knee replacement…ended up using b4 knee replacement for the swelling…Really made a difference…
My husband says he can not feel or smell any medicine on this brace, it fits tight but no better than any other he has used
Great product after knee surgery but I was not pleased with the fraying bands around leg after only two weeks of use.
Love it … works most of the night providing cooling relief and it is so quiet !!
Machine was wonderful in helping my recovery from a knee replacement. Came very promptly.
Not what I expected, directions were unclear and not easy to follow. Expensive
The bags were easy to order, delivered quick & great quality! Would order again if needed
Great product! Does not pull on neck yet still keeps arm and shoulder in place.
Super convenient to use after my total-knee replacement. I liked how I could choose between two coldness settings and two compression settings. I used cold and compression modes together as well as just cold or just compression.
Our Doctor recommended this product for knee care after replacement. It is so convenient and saves time on ice bags and gel packs. PLus it lasts a long time. It does use a lot of ice so prepare accordingly.
Be sure to order a small for women. Large works too but too big.
Just what I was looking for. And the price was not outrageous.
Recovering from rotator cuff surgery. This wrap on pad is absolutely necessary—excellent fit if you follow the fit instructions. The pad that comes with the Donjoy Iceman is not sufficient for a total shoulder application. Get this one. Get the 12-pack ice bag packs also. The ability to constantly rotate them through the Iceman is invaluable.
My 83 year old mother fell and broke her humerus and this has been a lifesaver. She has alzheimers and wouldn't leave the other sling on. This provides support and is hard for her to remove by herself, so it's been perfect.
Product arrived right on time. Came with everything I needed. It is a game changer for post surgery icing. Keeps cooling for hours with no need to get up for more ice.
Great machine. Easy set and clear directions for use. has been a lifesaver in recovery from my shoulder surgery. Well worth the money!
I like the cube but wondered why an insulating layer isn’t provided with each machine purchase? After ordering and then watching YouTube I learned that the pad cannot touch skin and that an insulated barrier must be used. But by then I already had the machine. In actuality having the pad over a t shirt is fine.
