Product Reviews

Details: The cooler and shoulder pad work great. I love the fact that I can use frozen water bottles instead of ice cubes.

Details:

My wife had a shoulder replacement and I purchased this device to help her heal and make her more comfortable through the recovery. She loves it and it has helped her. I also have a bad back and I put this on my lower back and it helped bring down the inflammation.

Details: I used this to recover from rotator cuff repair surgery which I was told is a very painful journey. My orthopedic surgeon strongly recommended purchasing one. I had previously used an older model for my knee arthroscopy which was OK, but the 3.0 model with the shoulder cooling pad was much improved with a timed cycle controller, larger ice capacity, and quieter pump. I used it for a month solidly and was able to manage my pain level to a low level with cycling ice therapy and an acetaminophen/ibuprofen mix suggested by my orthopedist.

Details: This was a really ingenious idea that works so much better than a bag of frozen peas. In the first place, it is important to manage the time being chilled and time to give it a rest. This unit did all that for me while I lay blissfully in a medicated state. I believe the real key to its effectiveness are the well designed pads that the chilled water flows through. Clean and easy to use!

Details: Fast shipping less than a week. I wish the strap was 48 inch long not just 44 inch. I bought the 10 inch extension to help. This is not the best. It's not very wide like 3/4 the width of the other strap and the velcro needs to be flipped on one end to attach to the longer strap. Also wish the cooling pads had more padded edges, they kinda dig into you. Other than that it's a quality product and I recommend getting one if you are needing a cooling system.

Details: It is super, only have to exchange the frozen bottles twice a day. I use it every few hours after my shoulder exercise. Just one recommendation, if you are wearing a sling, take it off to put the shoulder pad on. Maybe also the Velcro strap on the arm would work better if it were loose on the front (attach it from the back to the front.) it might be the same for the underarm strap also. The shoulder strap is as it should be. It can be a little difficult to get strapped in using one hand but it is really worth it. It is so much better than the one they offered at the surgeons office and $50 cheaper.

Details: So, I ordered this direct from company website with little time to spare. Ordered Wednesday evening and received in Milwaukee on Friday. My shoulder surgery was Wednesday the next week. I cannot say enough good things about this. I was able to strap it on myself, despite doing it left-handed since my right hand is dominant. It's very quiet and chills down super-fast. My literal only complaint is that a 5lb bag of ice does not last for 8 hours, even on lowest setting of 1. It goes about 5.5 hours on its lowest setting. Unfortunately, after I recover from right shoulder rotator cuff tear repair, shoulder decompression, bone spurs removal and debridement. My left shoulder will be next. My only solace is knowing that this will be waiting for me.

Details: This Cold Therapy System got me through my post-op shoulder surgery. I ended up using one frozen 16.9 ounce bottle each session because 6 bottles were too cold. Even then, I had to place a towel under the pad. I am so glad I had this though and plan on ordering the alternate pads for knee, hand, etc.

Details: This has been a lifesaver for icing my shoulder after rotator cuff surgery. No messy ice bags to contend with and more consistent therapy.

Location: Shoulder

Would you recommend this to a friend?: Definitely without reservation

Details: I bought this for my husband's upcoming surgery. He isn't a fan of pills and pain medication. This was a blessing and a godsend to aid in his pain management and recovery. Made my life much easier and bearable. I just wish I knew about this about 15 years ago when I ruptured my Achille's tendon.

Details: By having the flexibility with the timer, I was able to rest in comfort after surgery. I believe that it helped immensely with swelling and pain relief. I felt the effects of being able to relax.

Details: The Active Ice 3.0 with Digital Timer was a total success in helping my mother's shoulder replacement post-surgery pain. She was plugged into this unit for the first 10 days and we used 5 frozen water bottles and changed them out approx., every 8-10 hours. Caution: the unit is heavy to carry when full from kitchen to bedroom to living room. The digital timer is a GREAT feature that helps patient caregivers!
