Stay-Dry* Reusable Ice Bags for Cold Therapy

When cold therapy is part of managing swelling, post-surgical recovery, or everyday sprains and strains, the container matters as much as the ice inside it. Stay-Dry* ice bags from Halyard, distributed by Owens & Minor, are built with a leak-resistant Stay-Dry™ material that keeps moisture off the patient's skin and bedding — a practical advantage in clinical settings where dampness invites discomfort and slows a tidy bedside.

These are reusable ice bags, so a single unit stands up to repeated fill-and-freeze cycles rather than getting tossed after one use. That reusability makes them a sensible choice for hospitals, clinics, athletic training rooms, and home recovery, where cold packs are applied again and again across a course of treatment.

Sizing is the first question most buyers ask, and the range answers it directly. The small 5 x 12 inch bag (33495) uses a hook-and-loop strap and clamp closure, making it easy to secure over a wrist, ankle, or knee for targeted general-purpose cooling. The large 6 x 14 inch bag (33500) covers broader areas — a shoulder, lower back, or thigh — and closes with a clamp and tie straps to hold ice firmly in place during longer applications. Both fill through a wide opening for quick loading and reseal to guard against drips.

Choosing between the two comes down to the treatment area: reach for the small bag when you need focused contact on a smaller joint, and the large bag when the injury or surgical site demands more coverage. Keeping both on hand is common practice for facilities treating a mix of patients.
