I am having knee surgery and will have ice my knee constantly and would like to know is this will be appropriate for this use and big enough?

Yes, it will be big enough for your knee. I love this pad! I've bought three of them, one for my mom, and two for me!!

Recommend a larger one such as the "Cold Pack - ColPaC Brand - Blue Vinyl - Oversize - 11" x 21" by ColPac" The larger the item, the longer it will stay cold. One of these and an ace bandage to fix it to the joint can really help.

I would not recommend this size. It's perfect for the back but does not confirm well to the knee. I have the smaller rectangular ones with a Velcro strap. If you have 2 if them you can use them both. That should give you good cold coverage. They stay cold for about 30 minutes. Good luck.

My wife had a knee replacement two months ago and used it very day for the first couple of weeks and occasionally since. It can be fitted to some extent. She used it with her leg extended and it wrapped around the knee just fine. You'll like it. We also use it for backaches and anything that needs cold therapy. The white side is super cold. We usually place the blue side to the skin initially, then when it seems most of the cold has dissipated, we flip it over to the white side for another dose of cold.

It is big enough to cover one side of the knee but is not as sturdy as some I have used in the past. The flocked layer which is supposed to make it more comfortable near the skin came off mine before I even used it. An older Theramed was wonderful but began to leak after 10+ years of use. If you are having a knee replacement I would recommend using an electric pump which is provided by the hospital and mine was covered by insurance. Good luck.

I use it for my back, neck, knees, shoulders.....anything that hurts! I have two & use them almost every day. 'I use it @ the first sign of pain or overuse and it 'nips it in the bud' and I can go back to work or play....

This is the second of these that I have bought...the first began to develop pinhole leaks after 10 years! While I bought this pad for my back, I also use it routinely for my arthritic knees and it works fine for me. It is wide enough to cover the knee cap and down both sides when my leg is extended. The only drawback is that does not have a leg strap and will slide off if you move your leg around.

I think this would be perfect for a knee. It holds the cold for a long time. The folds/seams should allow the ice pack to cling to your knee well. Have a small towel to put between your knee and the icepack. Good luck and have a quick recovery.

I highly suggest that you opt for adjustable knee supports (i.e. one w/ straps, Velcro & hinges) while you still have some swelling on your operated knee. Then buy this once you feel the swelling is COMPLETELY gone; though one of the best knee supports I've had, Bauerfeinds have some tendency to stretch over time and due to wear and tear, so you might also consider going down a size if you are the type that washes supports a lot. Hope this helps. #Roadtorecovery

A to P Total Knee Wrap, Inc. sells them and they fit perfect. I bought extra set to ensure I was able to keep ice on both knees.

Hi -- how funny that you would ask because I've had some real discomfort behind my left knee and just yesterday I used the hot pack. Yes, just wrap it in a towel. You won't be able to walk around, but if you prop your leg up the ice pack (or hot pack if you have that) will stay in place.

Sorry. I needed the tubular bandage for my wrist and had to try several sizes before settling for the C. Obviously, your knee will need something bigger than my wrist size. Hope this helps.

The bauerfreind website gives the measurements above and below the knee. The measurements are right on for each size. It is not a tight fit so it should work for a mild degree of swelling. If u have a lot of swelling u might need one size larger

I had knee replacement, both knees. They do not hurt but "tire" very quickly and I do not spend much timebetween chairs. I wonder if copper knee sleeves would help ?????????????? RDS

If you've been told by your doctor that cold therapy is good, then yes, this could be used for that. I read in Wikipedia (since I didn't know what Baker's cysts are) that says heat is also used. But the Knee Wrap is good for cold therapy.

It is very large. It should be fine, especially worn above the calf, just below the knee joint, as intended.

Yes, the cold is totally around the knee. At first I found that it wasn't as cold as at physio, but then I increased the cold level in the freezer.

A friend of ours used one of these when he had his knee surgery and swears it's the reason for his good results. Good luck!

This is a lite support for the knee. I would advise you to seek your Orthopedist's views on the proper knee support.

Shelly the answer is no. The ice is sewn in. This is a wonderful ice pack to use after knee surgery, it last apps. 30mins. refreezes in apps. 1 hour. wraps around the whole knee.

This size was way too big for me, Dawn. I bought it large because I had a lot of swelling after total knee arthroplasty. Now my knee is 15" in the middle of the knee, 14" just below, and 15 1/4 just above. I'd go for the medium. I'm 5'10" and weigh 137. Hope this helps you decide.

Hi, happy to answer your question. I purchased them for post carpal tunnel release surgery--as well as for my husband's bad knees--and they get VERY cold, so you should apply a dry washcloth or kitchen towel underneath the ice pack. They are not single use--may be used repeatedly. They are sturdy & do the job nicely; however, the only complaint I have is that they are quite bulky. I was seeking those which physical therapists utilize--the gel type--but I cannot find these kind online. Overall, I would suggest purchasing them, as they are definitely worth the money! Hope this helps you. God bless. Be well. --Jill Hi, happy to answer your question.
