Elasto Gel Hot/Cold Wrap,foot and Ankle Wrap

I am so happy that I finally found this Elasto Gel wrap! Elasto Gel Hot/Cold Wrap,foot and Ankle Wrap With a torn achilles tendon post-surgery, I needed something comfortable and effective. After going through many different kinds, and having settled on an old fashioned round bag with a screw on cap, I was tired of making ice and dealing with a wet bag. This wrap is easy, convenient, comfortable, and effective. It is very flexible as well and is a great portable option. I have detailed my size and fit below, as well as provided PHOTOS OF THE WRAP ON, TO DEMONSTRATE FIT AND SIZE.*️⃣ I WEAR A WOMEN'S SIZE 7.5 SHOE - YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PHOTOS BELOW THAT IT COVERS MY ENTIRE FOOT AND EXTENDS TO MID CALF I have shown in my photos one way that I wrap the strap, but there are endless other possibilities for this 27 inch long strap.✅ VELCRO STRAP IS 27 INCHES LONG AND CAN BE WOUND AND TWISTED IN ANY NUMBER OF WAYS!This is what really makes this wrap for me. I swear I wind it to wrap differently each time I use it, but that is the beauty of it, anything goes. I love the coolers with wraps, that you come home with from the hospital post-surgery, but those have a right and wrong way, and those also require filling ice. And sometime you just want something simple. This is one I can freeze and take with me places, whereas the cooler setup requires electricity. This suits its purpose well.✔️ STAYS COLD - I wear it my 20 minutes and put it back in the freezer and it quickly returns to the appropriate colonies to re-use within 30 minutes✔️ CAN BE HEATED IN MICROWAVE OR OVEN - I have never used it for heat myself, so I can't speak to its effectiveness there. Instructions do say it can be heated using a conventional oven on a specified lower temperature. I purchased one for my mom, and she does use it hot and says it works just as well hot as it does cold.✔️ VERSATILE AND EASILY PORTABLE.✔️ VERY SOFT AND COMFORTABLE.✔️ GEL IS A SOLID SHEET, AND ALTOUGH IT IS NOT MADE FOR WALKING, IT WON'T POP EITHER.🌐 Overall, I couldn't be more pleased. I purchased one for my mother for Christmas and she loves hers too. If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments and I will be happy to answer.

I am very pleased with this product. I purchased two based on a positive experience with the eye mask made by the same manufacturer. I have weak ankles and sprains occur. I bought these to keep in the freezer to be ready to go for even a minor twist. The cold lasts about 20 minutes, which is perfect (too much cold for too long actually damages tissue). With two, I can treat with cold for 20 minutes and then again after an hour immediately after injury occurs. I can alternate with the two for several hours. Later on, I will be able to alternate hot and cold treatment by leaving one out to microwave. This will be particularly useful to warm it up prior to exercises and cool it down afterwards. In the meantime, I have another use for them. I have some circulation issues, which means that my feet get cold in the winter and hot in the summer. This affects my ability to fall asleep. Socks work in the winter, but cooling off in the summer is more difficult. Even running cool water over them does not last. Now, when my feet feel really hot, I put these on until they come to room temperature. This cools my feet enough that it lasts for quite a while and I am able to go to sleep. This works also when my feet and ankles swell after being on my feet for a few hours in the kitchen. I sit down with my feet up wrapped in these, the eye mask on, and enjoy a drink before eating dinner.

Great product, working well for me while I go through physical therapy.

I just got this yesterday and WOW! I'm buying another for my other foot today. I have chronic plantar fasciitis which has been nothing but debilitating. I must use Phiten kinesthetic athletic tape on my feet just to be able to walk, the normal kinesthetic tape isn't effective as it doesn't have the titanium weaved into the fabric to aid in muscle tension relief. I use balls with deep pressure to break up the scar tissue, I have used heating pads, ice packs, splints, compression socks, 3 different ankle braces, I hang from steps multiple times a day for minutes at a time and nothing has given me the immediate relief which this has.I heated it up twice in the microwave and slept in it. It does not advise this but I was extremely tired and the brace is very comfortable and squishy. My foot was kept in an upright position (nearly flexed fully without a lot of tension) and warm. When I woke up my foot wasn't sore from being in the brace all night, not circulation was cut off and I was still very comfortable. Then came the dreaded start of the day... I had to take that first step and walk on my feet. My feet hurt ALL the time, not just the morning. I carefully stepped out of bed and stood trying to get my feet ready to take another step. The one foot I had in the wrap felt incredibly better than the other. I was able to walk with a more normal gate than usual for morning time.If I see that much of a change in one night, I'm sold! The pain is excruciating leading to a sedentary lifestyle, one of which I don't welcome. As heat promotes the blood flow to the scarred ligament and the wrap simply keeps it warmer than the rest of your body with the heavy gel material swaddling your foot, I truly believe this will promote healing and I may get to a normal life within a year. This would also be very helpful for achilles tendinitis as ligaments naturally get less blood flow and take much longer to heal.
