Hip Ice Pack Wrap for Sciatica Pain Relief, Hip Replacement Kit After Surgery, Reusable Gel Ice Pack for Injuries, Hot Cold Compress Recovery Items Physical Therapy for Men Women, Blue (S/M)

Husband just had hip replacement surgery. We had an ice machine that someone let us borrow to help with the constant need for cold therapy to reduce inflammation, but it honestly was more effort, hassle, and took up more space in our home to deal with. So we tried this hip ice wrap and can say it is every bit as effective in delivering the needed cold therapy. In fact, my husband thinks it's giving a deeper cold. Ice pack on for 20-30 minutes, then to the freezer to be ready for the next session in about an hour. Note: The initial freeze period took a little longer, and if you forget and leave it on until it's warm, it may take a good hour to get back to its optimal state. Order 2 if you think that better suits your need for more frequent rotations. Again, we have found this to be an EXCELLENT way to recover. The velcro straps are VERY strong, they hold firmly in place. It's shape naturally contours around his hip and upper thigh. Size: He is 5'9", weighs a little over 200 lbs. and we bought the M/L. One other thought. We also have a flat ice gel pack that is about 10" x 13" or so... we have found that at times when he is in reclined position, it's easier to grab that one, place it in a pillow case, and then I can gently tuck the short end under his hip, and wrap it up around and over his front, then secure the loose end of pillow case with a bed pillow over top. I only say this because at times, he didn't want to stand up to more easily put this Comfytemp Hip Ice pack on, so having an alternative flat one has been helpful.

I had hip replacement surgery and needed to ice often. This was the best ice pack for my hip. The Velcro kept it on and secure. It stayed cold a long time. And froze pretty fast for next use. Highly recommend.

I used this ice pack following a hip replacement. It worked well. It’s very cold and stays cold for the 20 minutes on period. The Velcro keeps the pack in place if you need to walk around.

I love the size of it but it is kind of heavy. It slides down and doesn’t stay in place. The waist strap seems too stretchy or not sturdy enough to keep in place. It does work well while sitting or laying down. It has good flexibility for the size and it stays cold a long time

I’m wearing it now. I just walked out to Shed, cooked dinner with it on, it is Great. You do Not have to stop what you are doing to get Relief from the ice pack. Very sturdy with Long belt to fit various sizes

I am in my second week of recovery following anterior hip replacement surgery. Frequent icing of the hip, thigh and incision area after the surgery is highly recommended. I have several other ice packs but none were completely effective at hitting all the areas I need to reach. This excellent hip ice wrap does the job perfectly. It’s easy to put on and adjust, and it completely covers my hip and the front of my thigh. I can even walk with it on if needed. I use it for 23-30 minutes at a time and it stays cold throughout. This wrap is well made, easy to use and, most importantly, effective. I highly recommend it!

I have extreme sciatica problems at times. Did some research and was told to purchase this. I must say that it did help with the inflammation in my hip area but it's sort of awkward to wear. When my santatica gets inflamed, I just lay it on that area while I'm awake, it's pretty flexible that way. It chills very well in a good amount of time 15_20 min at best.

This has worked well after my hip replacement. I purchased 2 larger rectangular ice packs and this hip wrap to rotate as I need to ice my hip. I use the rectangular ice packs more, they just seem to stay colder longer. This works out well when I just want to strap it on and leave it on for a shorter amount of time. The lower strap might be a little challenging right after surgery, but my hubby helped me. I could also see you just using the top wrap and just placing the ice pack in place on your hip before sitting..
