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)

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.

great product, had knee replacement and used the bags to ice down knee, great value, easy to open and close to fill in ice

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.

The Refillable Ice Bag with Clamp Closure are as well made as the ones I have been given at the hospital post surgery and so far last just as long. I often need an ice bag when I travel to help with sore joints and the size of these bags are perfect for most injuries, the wicking material never sweats and it is easy to fill and empty. Great product, great price.

Bought these after abdominal surgery. They are great for about 30 minutes, but then the melting water causes the bag to sweat which is basically the same as leaking since it will get you wet. If you are only going to use it for 15-30 minutes at a time, it's fine. Just make sure you or someone is able to dump it after that or you will have a puddle.

I was given an identical bag by my local hospital under another brand name. It was great and I reused it for two weeks until it became tattered and started to leak. I wanted another but couldn’t find that brand anywhere. Bought this one thinking it looked similar. It is the same, exact bag with another brand stamped on it. Right down to the finest detail! These things are GREAT! You just fill with regular ice and it delivers just the right amount of cool and LASTS. Since I am nursing an injury, I refill it at convenience stores with crushed ice sometimes for a real treat.It lasts about two weeks before needing replacement which is great. These are disposable but can be used many times before they wear out. Cheap and cost effective, these are way better than any other ice pack. Since they use regular ice you don’t have to keep the pack in the freezer like the gel packs.I will be keeping these in my medicine cabinet for use in the future. Could not be happier.

Same as the ones in the hospital. Worked great for my hand.
