Chattanooga ColPac Blue Oversize

This cold pack stays flexible so it can be formed to fit around a leg, or arm, and is big enough to use for your back.....I blew out my knee a year ago and my therapist used this cold pack on my knee, I used one of those little ones u get in the drug store and it just didnt do the job. So my G/F purchased one of these online and it was exactly what I needed. I can wrap it around my knee with ease, and the sheer weight of it keeps it in contact with the affected area. It came in extremely handy after I had my first knee surgery also. Just a few weeks I ago visited my mom and dad, and found out my father hurt his back and was in some severe pain. So my girlfriend and I drove home after dinner with my parents, grabbed the cool pack out of our freezer and gave it to my dad. The size of the pack worked perfect for his back, and he improved much faster than he thought he would. Of course I told them to keep it, and I had another one. Of course I didnt have 2 of these so I immediately ordered one from amazon that same night. It showed up 1 day before I was scheduled for another knee surgery. As before this thing has made recovery much better. I will be starting physical therapy again this week, and it is very reassuring to know I have this cold pack on hand! Granted it is the "oversize" model but when its in your freezer, and laid out straight (do not make sharp bends in it) it really makes a small footprint. As for a cover, I use a pillow case (the size is perfect) and so do the therapists...........In a pinch I can use a clean dish towel. Remember to check with your doctor/therapist for proper use, most suggest 20-30 minutes at a time in order to not damage any nerves. Another use I have found for it is to chill guacamole! No joke, we have an avocado farm near us and we get perfect cados! But no matter where u get em they are not cold, and I dont like warm guacamole. I heard that refrigerating may increase the browning of them though. So, I take a large plastic bowl and put it in the freezer along with my cold pack and turn up the freezer for 10 minutes....While this is going on I cut and skin the cados. When that is done I take out my cold pack, set it flat on the counter (sometimes prop 1 side up against the bowl too) and make my guacamole.....The good stuff comes out perfect! Green, tasty, cold, and no browning! Yes I add a bit of lemon to keep it from browning longer too, but with the cold pack and the cold bowl I dont have to cover and refrigerate the guac for a little while if I want seconds for my taquitos and such. Give it a try! This way even when u are not injured, you can make your cold pack pay for itself! I would highly recommend this product!

I'm giving this a 5-star rating because it is the exact one my physical therapist uses. It feels wonderful when put inside a pillow case and wrapped over my sore shoulder. Be aware, it is large. If you want to freeze it flat, you'll need a shelf to put it on without placing anything on top of it. Also, I found out you are not supposed to lie on it. I was planning to do that for my sore back. All told, I am very pleased to have this quality, big cold pack. It stays cold a sufficient time to do the job.

This oversized ColPac is perfect! The material and craftsmanship are of good quality. The coating seems durable and like it would not puncture, tear or break easily. The seams look to be well constructed also. This is almost the perfect size to cover my entire back. This is the same brand they use where I went for Physical Therapy. And there these get quite a work out so I figured for home use they would stand up pretty well. It doesn’t quite cover my entire back and I’m not that tall, only 5’5”. So if you need to cover your entire back, you need to purchase a second cold pack. I purchased another smaller ColPac and the two of them together work out perfectly fine. Of course I store it in the freezer and when I use it I lie on top of it for anywhere from 20-45 minutes. The cold lasts the entire time. It seems to refreeze rather quickly when I checked it, but I only actually use it once a day. I would highly recommend this product for someone who needs a professional quality cold pack. I’ll update this review if I have any problems with it. It does not come with any warranty which is disappointing. You’d think they would at least warranty their product for 90 days minimum. But as I said, I’ve been using it every day for about one month and it shows no sign of poor quality. If a seam did break or a puncture occurred I would simply use some duct tape to repair and I’m sure it would be fine. I don’t know what type of gel is in it, but it’s very flexible to conform to your body and the filling is non-toxic. This was the perfect purchase for me to continue my cold therapy at home once PT was over. I highly recommend this cold pack for someone who needs a large size and professional quality at a more than reasonable price.

Knee surgery patient. Great product. Flexible. Stays cold longer. Soft. easy to use! stays in place!

I had partial knee replacement on both knees. I got these after so much swelling on knee one. On knee 2 I was able to avoid so much pain and streamline the recover shaving of a lot of pain and reducing recovery time. Get these they are so much better than bags of ice or even the pump cooler type. Get them on top and bottom and get on an hourly cycle. So worth it.

After recent major knee surgery, I was tired of using ice cubes in a ziplock, or frozen veggies to ice my knee. After using this ice pack in physical therapy every couple of days, I decided that I really wanted to have this at home. Purchasing through my physical therapy office was too expensive, so I was VERY happy to find this product on Amazon, and ever happier that it works phenomenally well. I ordered the oversize version because I'm 6'9" and have longer/bigger than average legs, and it wraps perfectly around my entire knee, giving relief to not just the top of the knee, but sides and underside. It really helps with swelling after a grueling physical therapy session, and provides relief after a long day of re-learning to walk again. I've had the product a little over a month and I only have two minor complaints: 1) I wish I had found it sooner; right after my injury during the 3-day gap b/t injury and surgery would have been amazing, but post-surgery is when I really needed it. I didn't start PT until 3 weeks after surgery, and didn't look into purchasing this until after a few sessions when I realized how good it was. Doctors should prescribe this ice pack (various sizes) pre/post-surgery to all knee surgery patients. It's that good. 2) I do wish it lasted just a little bit longer. It only lasts about 30 minutes at full coldness. This is usually enough, but it would be nice if it lasted like 45 minutes. I would recommend this version to anyone who wants full coverage when icing their knee/leg. The fact that it wraps all the way around my leg is what sold me, but it's also wide enough to cover my entire knee and then some. No quality issues here (knock on wood), but it's good to know the manufacturer protects against leaks etc. It does take up a lot of space in the freezer, so be aware of that. Do NOT fold it in half, arrange your freezer so you can lay it flat length-wise across the top of everything, and you'll be good to go.

I purchased this cold pack on recommendation of my physical therapist. I have a femoral nerve injury in my thigh. It is quite severe. I am tall, 5’9” and long legs. This rests on top of my thigh very comfortably. Because of size it is heavy. It is made well, no leaking. Clean with cloth. Lasts long time being cold. Freeze 1 hour after use to make cold again. Very flexible, easy to use, best pain relief as cold wears off gradually!

This is definitely one of the better cold packs out there. My physical therapist recommended this brand and said it gets colder and stays cold longer than most of the other ice packs on the market.

finally a cold pack that stays flexible outside the freezer and is nice and cold against my skin! I suffer from fibromyalgia and have burning skin pain every day, so applying a cold pack to my most tender points provides short-term relief. I have tried 4 cold packs and only this one is large enough and flexible enough for my back. Would highly recommend!

Good product

Muy útiles, funcionan muy bien y se amoldan al cuerpo, mantienen el frío bien. La bolsa pequeña es muy chica.

Alles bestens. Sehr gute Qualität und 100%zufrieden. Danke. Sehr zu empfehlen

El material con el que está relleno no es gel por lo cual al sacarlo del refrigerador el material es muy frío pero no congelado. Lo anterior permite doblarlo y adaptarlo al cuerpo. La marca también la utilizan en el centro de rehabilitación y me dijeron que son de alta duración. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
