Can you use them to wrap around and ice the knee?

I think they are great for icing injuries. Because they have squares they are bendable (it helps as they soften a little, but with inflammation it doesn't take to long to do this. I also cut them to various sizes and shapes for whatever I am using it on, i.e. shoulder, knee, back, lunch sacks, pt luck dishes :).

Yes, you can. They are flexible and can be cut into narrower sections. You might want to use a damp cloth on your skin underneath the ice pack since it is so cold. My husband used them to reduce swelling after knee surgery.

Well, I've never done it personally but I think they'd work well for that. They arrive flat and you have to soak them I'm water before you freeze (or heat but I haven't tried them for that). The material is cloth-like and they come and decently large sheets that you can cut into smaller sizes if you choose. I will say the warmer the water the faster the little pockets ballon up so watch them when you're doing that part! If they get too full they can burst, I haven't had that happen to any of mine but a few of the ones that are a little too full 'oozed' just a bit. So far it's a durable product and I'd recommend them. I use them on lunches. Well, I've never done it personally but I think they'd work well for that.

Hmmmm, I'm not sure. Are you talking about putting them in the knee sleeve? I actually picked this up fro someone else. So, I'm not too familiar with it past a cursory level.

These wraps are heavy and intended to tightly wrap the knees prior to doing heavy lifting. They are not appropriate for yoga classes. If you have bad knees, you could use wraps to wrap knees before doing leg presses.

I wouldn't use a wrap for arthritic knees, I would opt for getting a neoprene type knee sleeve. It will be more comfortable and stay put when you have it on, these aren't for wearing for long periods of time, they are to be worn very tight and only looped around your knees for weightlifting support.

The stabilizers do a great job on ice and snow. When you wear them in on a hard floor you might keep in mind that you can slip.

Hi, you can but they are not too big and they are plastic. The nets are not very sturdy for shooting regular pucks. Also the players would not be able to play on their knees as they would inside with 'knee hockey'. Hope this helps.

Defintely!! There are horrid cold, but I guess you can put ice in them if you forget.

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

The wrap comes with one reusable and removable ice bag. The ice bag has vertical sections so it easily wraps around the knee/leg. I am a size 8 so the large wrap over lapped on my leg.

I agree with the other answers. Depends on where the wounds are. Sounds like something under the knee might work better. You should talk to a physical therapist or your doctor for advice.

They help by giving compression, support, and warmth to the joint - so quite possibly yes. I know my knees feel100x better when I squat with mine on.

These would NOT be your best bet. These are designed to last about 20 minutes to help reduce swelling from an injury. They are GREAT for that. You need the ice packs filled with gel that you freeze and remain cold for many hours. Hope this helps. Joe

You probably could if the gloves are large. Actually it sounds like a good idea to wear gloves over them to keep them from getting dirty.

Sorry . . .can't help. I've been using it on my hand! But, given how it's working there, I would say yes, it should keep the back of your knee cold.

I haven't but I'm sure you can. I just wouldn't leave them frozen for an extended period. I love these for many different uses.

I never used it for that but I don't see where that would be a problem. When I no longer needed it, I gave it to someone else with a bad knee.

Hello Kristy! Thank you for your interest in an A to P Total Joint Wrap. As of now, there is not a soft ice option. We have found that soft ice/gel does not stay cold as long as regular ice. We suggest that after you take your A to P Total Joint Wrap out of the freezer, wait about 5 to 10 minutes before putting it on. The ice will soften a bit and will conform comfortably around the knee. As for the wash instructions, they can be found at www.a-pwraps.com/faq. We hope this information helps! Thank you, A to P Total Knee Wraps
