Polar Products Active Ice® 3.0 Shoulder Compression Wrap for The Universal Therapy Pad (Therapy Pad Not Included)

This was perfect to use with my Donjoy ice machine. It was easier than using the velcro straps that came with ice machine, and it attached to my Donjoy ice pad by velcro, used it after my shoulder surgery. It allowed me to be able to attach myself with out help.

I purchased this knee wrap to use with the polar products ice machine after total knee replacement. It works great and is perfectly sized for any knee size. It’s gotten a ton of use since my surgery in August and is still going strong.

I like the convenience of an icing system which works for several hours without refilling and the coverage of the pad which wraps around the knee. I wish it had a timer which could be set to turn on and off periodically and a remote control for use by the “patient”, me. Especially in the early days after surgery.

Fit and function are great, this knee compression wrap does exactly what they claim. The workmanship (assembled in Taiwan) is pretty good, and in theory, you need this wrap to put the cold therapy just where you need it. Like most of the Active Ice system I bought at the same time, this compression wrap is made using cheapo materials - it is definitely NOT worth $30. I would feel much less ripped off if I'd paid $10 or maybe even $15 - but no more. Someone is making a killing on Polar Products - - top dollar for cheap products.I'd guess there are about $5 worth of thin foam-backed polyester material, sewn-in velcro hook patches, and three decent elastic bands. Five sewn-in velcro patches attach to the hoop material on the universal chilling bladder that came with your system. The velcro sticks well and the elastic bands look like they will last longer than the cheapo material the body was made from. Overall, the whole thing weighs just a couple of ounces - very light duty. The thin foam/polyester material is exactly the same junk they used in the control box to "insulate" the cold water pipes. (which is still leaking condensation/water through every hole and crack in the control box)I wore the universal bladder and my new knee compression wrap today for a few hours off and on. I can tell you that if you have fresh staples across your knee, any sensitivity in the knee area, or are easily chafed by rough things against your skin, the stiffness of this compression wrap, bladder, velcro, and elastic will cause you some additional soreness until you're used to it.Bottom line - I would not buy it again unless they cut the price in half. Yes, it's really that over-priced. Best solution is really just to use the black universal strap with velcro ends to hold your chill bladder in place. If that's not enough, use another Ace bandage. You should be using one under the bladder also, since the bladder can't go against the skin.

I had a total knee replacement and could not use the compression wrap until my swelling subsided (the regular universal pack was fabulous) but once I could handle the bit of added pressure from the compression wrap it felt SO good! It's easier to put on than the regular universal bladder by itself and also doesn't cut into the back of your knee. The photo I added shows a white dish towel under the wrap because otherwise the bladder would have been directly on my skin which is too cold. The added compression helps keep the swelling down.

I really didn't know what to expect after having knee replacement surgery. This item was the best thing I could've purchased for my recovery. I used it several times every day! After the recuperation I even used it on my shoulder. We will not be donating this to a charity! We intend to keep it to use in the future. Great deal and amazing product!

No point and no purpose when I already have the constant flow ice product.

It did not come with a bladder, which I had to order separately, so I still haven’t gotten to use it yet.
