NEWGOHip Ice Pack Wrap Cold Therapy Gel Pack for Hip Replacement Surgery, Bursitis, Sciatica & Swelling Relief - Blue

I carefully reviewed several ice packs for hips. I didn’t want one too big as I didn’t need it to fit far down my leg, but rather just around my hip joint area. I also didn’t want it to be too bulky.The straps are nice and long and easy to arrange around waist and thigh to keep it secure. I can use it while sitting, laying or even standing as I do the dishes.The bag to store it in freezer is a bit small so I keep it in a 2 Gall zip lock bag in the freezer.It stays cold for a good amount of time while using it. ( I have not tried or needed it for use heated.)Love this ice pack!!!

Excellent item for relief after Hip Replacement

I had a hip labral tear repair and asked the doctor to order me an ice machine ice pack, but they forgot. I had ordered this as a backup and 3 weeks out from surgery it is still in use. I keep a thicker hand towel under it and a thinner kitchen towel over it. As it loses its coldness I flip it over and use the thinner towel under it. Stays cold for a good hour and freezes quickly. I use it laying down so I haven’t used the straps. I’m 5’ 4” and find it’s a good size for me.

I like the size for my hip replacement but it doesn't stay cold for very long.

I had hip replacement surgery and I knew that no ice packs that we had on hand would do the job. So I ordered this one. But I used it as a flat ice pack, and it worked well since I had an anterior replacement.It has velcro straps, but there is NO WAY that I could figure out how to make it work. So I was half happy. It did help me with my recovery but if I had to use it as it is shown in the picture, I would have been totally out of luck, For that reason, I was disappointed. Now I am trying to decide whether or not I should save the velcro straps!
