Arctic Flex Shoulder Ice Pack Brace - Cold Reusable Cool Gel Wrap, Hot Therapy - Immobilizer Compression Stability Support for Tendonitis, Dislocated Joint, Left and Right Rotator Cuff Arm Pain Relief

This is so much easier than trying to keep an ice bag or gel bag on my shoulder. The harness holds the gel pack right where it needs to be and stays cold for up to half an hour. Very comfortable and easy to adjust.

This product really helped. I tore my rotator cuff and was having a hard time sleeping. The shoulder ice pack stayed cold, and because it has a strap stayed in place.

it's great for keeping the cold on the shoulder where it is needed. It doesn't get as cold or stay as cold as other ice packs we have.

Fits nicely on the shoulder and stays cool for 15-20minutes. That's all you need!

Works well for shoulder pain & holds ice pack in place.

I bought this after a rotator cuff injury, hoping it would act as a brace. It does not act as an immobilizer at all because it doesn’t restrict arm movement, but it does keep the heat/ice pack in place. The ice/heat pack is removable to store in the freezer or heat up in the microwave - just never heat it directly after removing it from the freezer or they say it will be damaged and no longer leak proof. If using it for heat keep it stored at room temperature and use 30 second increments in the microwave till it’s as hot as you need. I already have a similarly sized cold gel pack that will fit in the “pocket” of this, so I am able to have both heat & cold available at all times though I find heat works better for me than cold as pain relief for muscles & tendons etc other than immediately after an injury. There is an extension strip with hook & loop style fastening included so it will fit a wide variety of differently sized/shaped people but being female, just like with car seat belts that are designed for men, it is a bit awkward to secure it well AND comfortably. The listing says it can be used under clothing (though unless you wear a very loose and dark colored shirt/top it will be obvious) or on top of it.The ice/heat pack itself is a bit more of a “T” shape than just the usual rectangle (see the picture) so it will work better and drape a bit when applied to the shoulder area. It is almost 10 inches tall, with the top being 9 inches wide and the bottom 7 inches wide. The ice/heat pack fits inside the strapping pocket between an inner layer of soft nylon/polyester (mine was not mesh it was solid fabric) that helps protect your skin from possible burns or frost damage, and the outer neoprene layer. The shoulder “pocket” that holds the ice/heat gel pack is curved to fit a shoulder. It is roughly 11 inches top to bottom, and will fit any arm width between 11 inches, and using the extension strap fits up to 25-26 inches. The length over the injured shoulder to under the other arm wrapping can be small enough to fit a child - it’s 14.5 inches between the two plastic buckle mechanisms to hold the chest strap, and all the way up to 57 inches if you use the arm extension strip. The description says there are two extension straps, but other than the removable but required chest strap itself there was only one actual extension strap in the box I received. There is also a “Y” shaped adapter strap attached so you can shorten the “height” of the treated area, though that bunches up the ice/heat pack which doesn’t seem as effective nor as comfortable.It took me some practice and getting used to, in order to fix it in place without help from someone else, but it's worth it to be able to continue with most aspects of daily living while having a heat therapy. (In fact I’m wearing it while typing this review.) It isn't as effective or as long lasting as those at my physical therapists office, but it's also no where near as expensive as theirs to purchase and can be used at a moments notice 24/7 instead of having to wait for the next appointment.

Easy to put on and the quality is excellent. If you have ever used a wetsuit you know they last long and are flexible. See the video that is in the description and it is even easier to put on than it shows.

I’m glad that I got this product. It really helped my shoulder pain.
