Active Ice Cold Packs & Reusable Wraps

Cold therapy works best when the pack actually stays where the pain is — which is exactly the problem Active Ice solves. This collection features reusable gel cold packs paired with hook-and-loop wraps that strap directly to a knee, shoulder, or other joint, so you can compress and chill an injury while staying mobile instead of pinning a loose pack in place with your hand.

The Active Ice Cold Pack with Wrap (SK-2) is a freezer-cooled, 12 x 13 inch gel pack built for this purpose. Its cloth-and-nylon construction with a plastic-backed gel core stays flexible when frozen, so it molds around the contours of a joint rather than sitting stiff against it. The included one-size-fits-most hook-and-loop strap holds it snug on a knee or comparable area, and the whole unit is fully reusable — you simply return it to the freezer between sessions.

Cold therapy is typically applied for 15 to 20 minutes at a time to help reduce swelling, numb acute pain, and calm inflammation after a strain, sprain, or surgery. Because these packs are gel-based rather than solid ice, they conform closely for more even, comfortable contact — always with a cloth barrier between the pack and bare skin to protect against cold burns.

Rehab clinics, athletic trainers, and home users all reach for wrap-style cold packs because they free up both hands and deliver consistent contact pressure. If you're targeting a smaller area, our Ice Finger packs suit fingers and digits, while Ice it! offers additional cold-therapy system options. For broader recovery supplies, browse Active Medical.
