Water Therapy Universal Pad

This is HUGE. Covers the entire back area and works great. Highly recommended.

We had the Donjoy ice machine for my husband’s first knee surgery two years ago & lent it to a friend. We never checked the box when got it back, just assumed all was ok. It wasn’t, apparently a dog had chewed on the pad part! When we plugged it in when when husband got home from the hospital, it leaked like a sprinkler! Thank heavens for Amazon and this replacement pad! Fits perfectly!!

Garbage. The face pad is completely useless. First, this “pad” has the material consistency of thinly plastic coated paper with some fuzz added to it. I wouldn’t even risk trying to run water through it. Next, the straps are placed in such a way that no matter how tight or loose you make them, the top one slides right down your head, and the bottom one doesn’t really serve any purpose. Additionally, it wouldn’t get any part of your forehead even if it did stay on, but it 100% covers your mouth for some reason? Cons: fit, usability, and durability Pros: now I know what not to get

If you suffer from chronic pain, or are recovering from surgery or an injury, Ice Water Therapy is the way to go for non narcotic pain relief. The problem is that most machines come with a “universal” pad & these “universal” pads are big bulky and not designed for use on the neck. This cervical pad is what you need for that stubborn pain in the neck. I have an old EB Ice Water Therapy machine (which is no longer made) and no one could tell me if the couplings were compatible, even the manufacturer of this cervical pad. I bought it without knowing if it would work with my machine. I’m happy to report that it is indeed 100% compatible with the EB Ice Water machine. This product has 3 parts, the pad the ice water flows through, a thick foam rubber piece to give it stability and a zippered pouch designed to hold it all together. The pad that the water flows through seems to be a bit on the thin side compared to other pads which leads me to wonder about its durability. I’ve been using this pad for about a month and so far there have been no durability issues at all. The thick foam pad is so thick that it makes it difficult to get it to fit comfortably on my neck. A quick trip to a hobby shop for a thinner piece of foam and it made all the difference in the world. The zipper pouch is perfect for allowing the cold to get to your neck while keeping the actual water pad from touching the skin. I recommend this and would buy again.

My girlfriend blew out her shoulder with a multi-tear rotater cuff injury. Had the surgery to correct it and I bought this appliance to use with an ice machine I borrowed from a friend for her recovery. This appliance is absolutely incredible. You can adjust it multiple ways, with velcro straps and a shape/design that lets you mold it to any body part you need to, and it stays in that position FOR MONTHS. Not just that, but the connectors are rock-solid and DO NOT LEAK OR DRIP ONE BIT. And let me tell you, my girl beat the hell out of it, tossing and turning and folding it this way and that over MONTHS of recovery, sleeping with it on, waking up with it mashed up underneath her because of her tossing and turning, and never once did it leak. This thing is tough as hell. And it transmits the cold almost instantly. SOOO much better than ice-packs. Can't thank you guys enough for making such a durable, functional, INEXPENSIVE top quality product. My girl thanks you too. Your appliance provided TONS of badly needed relief. Absolute 5-Star across the board. I really mean that. This thing was a life saver

this is a great cold water shoulder pad. it's very affordable and works well with my Active Ice cold therapy system. it fits well and easy to put on your shoulder. 5 stars for sure!

See follow-up below. I seriously injured my hamstring and needed to apply cold therapy several times a day. I have had this wrap and have used it with my aqua relief system. I works great, I get pain relief while using this system with the large wrap. I also did a heat treatment for a day and it worked great. The only negative I have experienced is on day 6 and probably my last cold treatment for the day shortly after I started the cold treatment one of the fitting ends blew off pumping ice cold all over my groin area, couch, flour, table and in my rush to shut off the machine it got my wife in a chair about 8 feet away. This sudden required movement to stop the flow did not do my leg any good. There are not any clamps or tightening ferrule fittings. It is a nipple with ridges and only hold power is by the bite of the edges of the ridge rings. I pushed it back together and have cautiously used it 3 times. If it blows apart again I will have to apply some form of clamp to the tubing. I do hope this issue does not persist. Follow up use after pushing back together, it now leaks where the tubing attaches to the fitting and I have to use a towel wrapped around the fitting!!

I bought a ice water system after answering a question on bed cooling systems. I put the pad under a thin blanket or towel, and then sleep on top of the cooling pad! It has worked great for over a month now. I find that if I use 2 liter bottles to freeze the water, I cut off the top 4" or so, and freeze the bottle with about 3 pounds of ice in it. When someone said I freeze water bottles, I was thinking that the water in the tank would not drop below about 50F. What a great idea! I actually like the water in the 50F to 60F temperature range, so it is not icy cold on my back, but will remove a lot of heat. 3 pounds of ice will last about 4 hours. Sometimes I run it on med speed, sometimes on high speed. Sometimes I add ice to cool the water to 32F, especially if I have been outside and now am hot. Sometimes I will use a thin blanket over the cooling pad and ice to run 32F water through the pad, and then sleep for about 6-8 hours, wake to all of the ice gone and the water at about 65F - 75F. This has been really nice, and allow me to run the thermostat a little warmer, still comfortable, and not sweating in bed!
