Purchased two of these to treat a sprained wrist.... and have been using them for about two weeks now.
They fit well around the arm or wrist. The velco strap holds it securely in place. I'm a little ambiguous about what my
expectations were. Put it in the freezer and it will get cold in about 30 minutes. However it gets very cold at first and
then lasts for about 20 minutes. ( which is a good time for an ice pack ). Unlike plastic ice bags, the cold does not
freeze your skin ( ice burn )...
As far as heating... place it in the microwave for 30 seconds and it gets too hot to wrap around the wrist so I just laid
it lightly over the wrist at first and then strapped it in place as the heat became more manageable. This gets HOT.
What I really liked about this wrist strap is that it provides a CUSHION for the injured hand. The gel packs provide a soft
cushion that protects against smacking or hitting the wrist and it keeps the wrist fairly stable... not as good as a stabilizer
but nice for keyboarding on the computer.
Sometimes you need heat for longer periods and for larger surfaces like the whole arm.. This does not take the place
of a large heating pad but it great for wrists and ankles and hands where it can be wrapped around to heat or cool the
entire round surface.
Provides intense cold for a few minutes, then it sort of mellows out after that. It only provides a very mild cold after ten minutes, but since the skin is already super chilled, by keeping it on a full 20 minutes, it provides a full therapeutic session. My skin is still cold to the touch when I take it off after 20 minutes so I know it worked the full amount. The beads provide some flexibility, so that even when frozen, you can wrap it around the limb that needs therapy. It stays in place nicely, even when moving around, thanks to the wide Velcro strap. That's what makes it super convenient.....you can give yourself therapy and still do other things. I have been using it twice a day, about 3 days a week. As long as the strap stays attached over the longer run, I'll be very happy with the purchase.
Top of the line helps me heal from foot surgery Sept. 2016. I learned in healing the foot in general everyone places the ice on the foot which in reality should be placed around the ankle. I used this for two weeks everyday ever 2 hours of course not on sleep mode. It helped tremendously with getting rid of the inflammation. I have to say my doctor was impressed at how quickly I have healed and continue to do so. I now use on a need to basis until I fully heal. It can also be used on other areas, wrist etc.
I had a bad break on my wrist almost 4 years ago and am still in chronic pain. While this wrist wrap will not heal my chronic pain, it is a very much appreciated relief. I have only used it hot and am still trying out the varying microwave heating times. I have a powerful microwave and the directions suggest 20 seconds. That didn't retain the heat long enough for my liking, so I am gradually increasing it by seconds. 30 seconds was way too hot because of the power of my microwave. Heat applied to my wrist is very soothing and this gadget makes it easy to get the job done. I like it much better than the wax paraffin I had used for a long time. This is more targeted relief and much simpler to use. The price is very attractive, too.
Out of a few different ice packs I tried this one was the one I ended up keeping. It works well, doesn't get too cold, and fastens tight around my ankle. The only downside is it seems to warm up quickly . . . then again you aren't supposed to ice more than 10 minutes at a time anyway so this is for the best. I love that I don't have to fuss with towels or napkins, this is the right temperature.

I used this for long gaming session when my carpel tunnel was at its worst these worked great they held tight and were compact enough i could wear them under a sweater. They held the cold for about 30 minutes and they weren't so cold that i couldn't just leave it on without something in between my hand and the ice pack.
They are said to be for ankles and wrist but I really have to pull tight for it to go on my ankle. And my ankle is quite small even though I broke it. I have been Velcroing 2 together. If feels great without any rough irritating areas on the surface.
Made with quality materials! Stays hot for long periods of time and doesn't scratch one when wrapped around my ankle. Definitely my go to product for ankle swelling or even if I just want to have a hot pack on my back!
This is great for anyone who needs to treat areas such as ankles, wrists and other areas that are often difficult to wrap. Great for ankle pain relief. Highly recommend. You only need a fews seconds to yield high heat.
This hot/cold wrap is perfect for wrist, ankle and I have even used it on the back of my neck while watching tv.
I like the size which can be placed in any small area of the body. I recently had a hematoma on my leg and it served the purpose of reducing the swelling. Great purchase for the price.
