Elasto Gel Hot/Cold Wrap,foot and Ankle Wrap

I am very pleased with this product. I purchased two based on a positive experience with the eye mask made by the same manufacturer. I have weak ankles and sprains occur. I bought these to keep in the freezer to be ready to go for even a minor twist. The cold lasts about 20 minutes, which is perfect (too much cold for too long actually damages tissue). With two, I can treat with cold for 20 minutes and then again after an hour immediately after injury occurs. I can alternate with the two for several hours. Later on, I will be able to alternate hot and cold treatment by leaving one out to microwave. This will be particularly useful to warm it up prior to exercises and cool it down afterwards. In the meantime, I have another use for them. I have some circulation issues, which means that my feet get cold in the winter and hot in the summer. This affects my ability to fall asleep. Socks work in the winter, but cooling off in the summer is more difficult. Even running cool water over them does not last. Now, when my feet feel really hot, I put these on until they come to room temperature. This cools my feet enough that it lasts for quite a while and I am able to go to sleep. This works also when my feet and ankles swell after being on my feet for a few hours in the kitchen. I sit down with my feet up wrapped in these, the eye mask on, and enjoy a drink before eating dinner.

I really like this product. I was able to keep it on for 15-20 minutes after I did some exercises for my feet and it kept the parts that I needed to keep cool, cool. I did wear some thin socks (some ankle compression socks, but any sock will do), because it was too cold for me initially. It lasted the coolness for the 15-20 minutes. The ice element is evenly distributed, it's like a slightly weighted blanket. The way to mold it to your foot is when you wrap it. It will take me a bit of practice to get used to how to actually wrap how I really want to wrap it. Let me describe it. When it's not on your foot and in the bag that you are supposed to keep it in when you freeze it, it looks like....probably best way to describe is like a Christmas Stocking. When you put your foot in it it has a seam line down the middle back (like a Xmas Stocking would) so it's not like it's a "blanket" wrap - it is shaped like a boot/stocking. The material is VERY soft, it's a bit weighted, and the velcro wrap is a great length and stays on. It felt very good. I have tried a few things for icing my feet (I have certain areas that need icing and it's hard to get them all at once, and this did it for me (I have to ice the right exterior, my posterior tibial tendon and also the bottom of my foot - I was able to get it on all these areas in one use:) I do recommend this!

This is the most effective genuis way to ice an ankle. Unfortunately I have had several fractures and using ice had always been uncomfortable. Its either too hard, doesn't fit or conform to the affected area right, fall off the area, leaks, pinholes somehow sometimes are on the outside, strings that come loose or it falls after tied, too big, too small, or takes up too much space in the freezer. So many different types of ice packs that just dont work for me. This one is perfect. It freezes quickly so you can use it several times throughout the day. Takes very little freezer space because it lays flat. VERY soft, great fit for any size foot, long enough strap to wrap around, freezes quick, lasts 30+ min for me, cold enough to feel & do the job but not freeze your foot where you want to remove it earlier than what you need. Fits well above your ankle as well You can even use it on your elbow if you get creative with the strap. It feels so good and is very comfortable you can move around the couch or wherever you are sitting, laying, the strap holds great. You can put it in the microwave as well if you need a heat instead of ice. Be sure to keep it in the plastic bag it comes in when you freeze it. Its a sturdy plastic ziploc type of bag. I will be getting another one for my other foot.

It has been 14 years since I purchased this and it’s still my favorite cold pack for injuries. It’s still in great shape… I’m just thinking about getting another to have. Definitely recommend highly. Original review: I've had a myriad of problems with my ankle in the past year (four sprains and two breaks in separate places) and I'd been looking for something that would really cover my ankle, wouldn't be a pain to put on, and was comfortable. I decided to go with this products for the good reviews, and I'm glad I did. 1) After leaving this in the freezer overnight it is COLD. I have to put a towel between my ankle and the wrap for the first half hour, and even after that the wrap stays so cold that my skin gets pink after a few minutes. Just what I was looking for! 2) It holds heat just as well. You can put it in the microwave OR oven (microwave is so much faster) and once is it warm it stays warm and is very soothing. 3) I am amazed at the material and the flexibility of this thing. It molds to the foot just enough and the material on the outside as well as the gel on the inside make it SO comfortable. I could keep this on all day and it wouldn't bother me. All in all- a great product. Highly recommended.

It is crazy how hard it is to find a good ice pack. I developed achilles tendonitis in both of my feet from running and needed an ice pack that would cover my achilles and my heel in one swoop. Looking in stores proved unsuccessful as there was nothing specifically for the foot and ankle and there is really not a lot out there on the internet either. I purchased this ice pack because Amazon seemed to have the most choices available for foot-specific ice wraps or packs and this one in particular had the most good reviews. After using this for a few weeks I can say that it does do the job. You have to use the velcro strap to tighten the ice wrap around your foot. I strap it down around the area's I am trying to focus the icing on to keep the ice wrap snug against those parts of my foot. A lot of people complain about how long the ice wrap stays cold for. I can sit around for a good hour and feel the coldness on my feet from the wrap but keep in mind, when icing an injury you are really only supposed to ice for 15-20 minutes and this wrap definitely stays cold for longer than that. Also, it is floppy so it's easy to fold it up and it fits nicely in the freezer and doesn't take up a lot of space, unlike other raps or packs that can be very rigid. Based on how hard it is to find a ice wrap that is foot specific and the benefits of this wrap that I have mentioned here, I would recommend this wrap to anyone looking to ice their foot, heel, or achilles, as it covers all of those at once. I am happy with my purchase.

I am so happy that I finally found this Elasto Gel wrap! Elasto Gel Hot/Cold Wrap,foot and Ankle Wrap With a torn achilles tendon post-surgery, I needed something comfortable and effective. After going through many different kinds, and having settled on an old fashioned round bag with a screw on cap, I was tired of making ice and dealing with a wet bag. This wrap is easy, convenient, comfortable, and effective. It is very flexible as well and is a great portable option. I have detailed my size and fit below, as well as provided PHOTOS OF THE WRAP ON, TO DEMONSTRATE FIT AND SIZE. *️⃣ I WEAR A WOMEN'S SIZE 7.5 SHOE - YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PHOTOS BELOW THAT IT COVERS MY ENTIRE FOOT AND EXTENDS TO MID CALF I have shown in my photos one way that I wrap the strap, but there are endless other possibilities for this 27 inch long strap. ✅ VELCRO STRAP IS 27 INCHES LONG AND CAN BE WOUND AND TWISTED IN ANY NUMBER OF WAYS! This is what really makes this wrap for me. I swear I wind it to wrap differently each time I use it, but that is the beauty of it, anything goes. I love the coolers with wraps, that you come home with from the hospital post-surgery, but those have a right and wrong way, and those also require filling ice. And sometime you just want something simple. This is one I can freeze and take with me places, whereas the cooler setup requires electricity. This suits its purpose well. ✔️ STAYS COLD - I wear it my 20 minutes and put it back in the freezer and it quickly returns to the appropriate colonies to re-use within 30 minutes ✔️ CAN BE HEATED IN MICROWAVE OR OVEN - I have never used it for heat myself, so I can't speak to its effectiveness there. Instructions do say it can be heated using a conventional oven on a specified lower temperature. I purchased one for my mom, and she does use it hot and says it works just as well hot as it does cold. ✔️ VERSATILE AND EASILY PORTABLE. ✔️ VERY SOFT AND COMFORTABLE. ✔️ GEL IS A SOLID SHEET, AND ALTOUGH IT IS NOT MADE FOR WALKING, IT WON'T POP EITHER. 🌐 Overall, I couldn't be more pleased. I purchased one for my mother for Christmas and she loves hers too. If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments and I will be happy to answer.

I just got this yesterday and WOW! I'm buying another for my other foot today. I have chronic plantar fasciitis which has been nothing but debilitating. I must use Phiten kinesthetic athletic tape on my feet just to be able to walk, the normal kinesthetic tape isn't effective as it doesn't have the titanium weaved into the fabric to aid in muscle tension relief. I use balls with deep pressure to break up the scar tissue, I have used heating pads, ice packs, splints, compression socks, 3 different ankle braces, I hang from steps multiple times a day for minutes at a time and nothing has given me the immediate relief which this has. I heated it up twice in the microwave and slept in it. It does not advise this but I was extremely tired and the brace is very comfortable and squishy. My foot was kept in an upright position (nearly flexed fully without a lot of tension) and warm. When I woke up my foot wasn't sore from being in the brace all night, not circulation was cut off and I was still very comfortable. Then came the dreaded start of the day... I had to take that first step and walk on my feet. My feet hurt ALL the time, not just the morning. I carefully stepped out of bed and stood trying to get my feet ready to take another step. The one foot I had in the wrap felt incredibly better than the other. I was able to walk with a more normal gate than usual for morning time. If I see that much of a change in one night, I'm sold! The pain is excruciating leading to a sedentary lifestyle, one of which I don't welcome. As heat promotes the blood flow to the scarred ligament and the wrap simply keeps it warmer than the rest of your body with the heavy gel material swaddling your foot, I truly believe this will promote healing and I may get to a normal life within a year. This would also be very helpful for achilles tendinitis as ligaments naturally get less blood flow and take much longer to heal.

I can't believe I've been using a square cold pack all these years like a sucker. Martha Steward was right (this time), always have the right tool for the job. This ankle wrap is perfect; I damaged my Achilles' tendon the other day and I wish I would have gotten this right away instead of thinking that my cold pack was adequate. This is made for the foot for heaven's sake. The picture shows a guy with a bare foot but it's much too cold to use without a sock. I almost want to say that it's colder than ice. The directions say to freeze for a minimum of two hours which is just fine. I let it freeze for two hours the first time I used it and it lasted about 30 minutes. I let it freeze overnight the next time and it lasted 35 minutes. This is perfect because "they" always say to ice the foot for only 20-30 minutes and then let the muscle thaw down before applying cold again. If you have a foot injury don't hesitate to purchase. It fits right on your foot, the straps hold it in place, and you can do your RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) just fine without a square, rigid, ice pack slipping everywhere. I really wish I would have had this from the beginning -- as soon as I started using it my foot started to get better (along with KT Tape).

thank u

「かかとを冷やすのが難しい」と言っていた抗がん剤治療を受ける友人に、両足分プレゼントしました。お世辞で言ってくれたのかもしれませんが、かかとががっちり冷やせる、看護師さんも見てびっくりしていた、とのことでした。本当は足先まですっぽり包めるものが欲しかったのですが、足先は他のものでも代用できそうなので、まぁこれでよかったのかな、と思っています。

We call it my ice boot, and I wear it while watching the news every night after exercising (I have osteoarthritis in my ankles). I haven't tried it hot- I use a hot water bottle for that, especially when I do 10 minutes hot, 10 minutes cold as recommended by the physio.

Speedy delivery... thank you! Have not used it as a "cold therapy". Certainly does the trick although I did find it a little awkward to fit. Has most definitely helped my peroneal tendonitis.

Ive had foot injury for 7 months straight away I felt the benefits would highly recommend
