Vakly Large Refillable Ice Bags with Clamp Closure [Pack of 5] 6-1/2 x 14 – Reusable Easy Filling Hospital Icepack with Soft Outer Covering and Leak Resistant Inner Layer(5)

This are the best ice bags! After shoulder surgery I got one of these from the hospital. I used it so much it got a bit dirty but it never leaked. I ordered more and have continued to use them for any area that needs ice. The fabric of the bag allows the cold to relieve the area without giving your skin a freeze burn. Very comfortable and I can use it long enough to reduce pain & swelling.

I love these bags and I will continue to buy them. I learned about them while I was in the hospital and needed an ice pack. This is the icepack brand and model my hospital uses. The only possible (and I stress "possible") negative about them is that, the blue plastic clip that holds each bag shut (and has to be opened to put the ice in the bag) is hard to open, at least for me it was in the beginning. However, I am a senior and the strength in my hands/fingers is not the best. The clip may not be difficult for other people. I did get used to opening the clips but I was into my second order before I finally got the hang of it. I suspect that they are made to be hard to open in order to ensure a tight seal on the bag once the ice is in it. And it does just that. I use ice packs all the time. These bags don't leak even if all that is left is pure water after all the ice has melted. The bags have a cloth-like feel, so I don't need a towel or cloth between me and the ice bag. This ensures that I get maximum relief without having to put pressure on the bag. The shape of these bags is perfect too, at least for me. The long skinny design fits into places that other ice bags do not. Also, the ice lasts a long time so I'm guessing that whatever material has been used in the manufacture of these bags is a good insulator. Finally, the price is affordable and I reuse my bags as well. Thank goodness because I truly rely on these bags to avoid taking over-the-counter pain meds. In short, this is a a fantastic product that I am very, very happy to endorse.

These ice bags worked great! We were able to easily re-use a bag for a few days by emptying some of the water and adding more ice each use (same patient). They don't leak, and are a good size for hip replacement surgery recovery. They are very affordable for semi-disposable use. They are the same product we were given to use at the hospital, which is why we purchased a pack of 5 for home after discharge. Great buy!

I got these because they are similar to the one the casualty gave me. I thought they'd be better than my usual ice bag using a zip lock. The zip lock leaks. But so does this one. And the cloth cover reduces the cold effect. Maybe this is good to avoid burning the skin with too much cold. But then the pain reducing effect of the ice is also reduced. Too much in my opinion. This is for a broken clavicle which is very painful. Maybe for mild muscle strains this would work fine. I went back to my zip lock bag. The pain reduction is a relief.

I received the product yesterday and tested it out ice my thumb (2 weeks post fusion). I was using a really old bag from a hospital or surgery center before I finally decided to order these. The fabric on the old one was starting to (okay it was more than just starting to) wear out and it would start leaking as the ice melted. Finally threw it away the evening before yesterday, knowing I was getting more and not really expecting them to be as good quality as the other bag originally had been. But to my surprise, these seem like they are maybe a little better quality and the fabric seems a little thicker, so I’m hoping it won’t wear out so quickly. Not that the other one wore out quickly, it was still working in a pinch except when the ice melted. I just think these might end up being the better quality ones. I bought a pack of 2, so I have 10 ice bags and these should last me a lifetime. The clamp on the first bag is a little harder to open, but it seems like it is more durable. The size is about the same as most hospital or surgery center ice bags I’ve used. I don’t usually review products the day after I receive them but I have been using my first ice bag all night and much of the day, and I know a good ice bag when I see it.

I bought these to go on a cruise overseas after having knee surgery. Cabins don't have a freezer so i couldn't take a regular ice pack. They worked okay but the could leak pretty easy. If you are in a pinch, they are fine.

These refillable ice packs are amazing, I have ordered more so that I can hand them out to everyone I know (lol im serious). I love not having to store ice packs in the freezer, plus it's nice that they are a little thick so you don't need like a plastic bag with a towel. so you can store it very easily in a suitcase, fill it up with ice anywhere you go, and they have strings which make it super convenient to tie for your shoulder or your knee if you are driving or at your desk. And they don't leak and are super affordable!

Great ice bags have used for years after surgery
