HoMedics MW-KHC TheraP Hot/Cold Therapy Knee Wrap with the Power of Magnets
Customer Reviews of HoMedics MW-KHC TheraP Hot/Cold Therapy Knee Wrap with the Power of MagnetsCustomer Review: Okay but not great. Does not stay cold long.
This was reasonably priced and from a name I knew but I was not impressed with the amount of cold it delivered. It only delivers heat or cold directly over the patella (knee cap) so if you need cold applied to the sides of the joint, this will not work for you. I found I had to remove the wrap after just a few minutes and flip the gel pack over as it was getting warm. Finally, I just held the cold pack to my knee as that was easier than removing the wrap from my leg, removing the gel pack from the wrap and reversing it and re-applying the wrap. The gel pack does not have sufficient mass to deliver cold for very long. I didn't try it with heat but the instructions specifically tell you not to microwave the gel pack directly. You must microwave it in a bowl of water or boil water, take it off the heat and then put the gel pack in it. This seems inconvenient. |
