Ann Organ –
I just had a total knee replacement 5.5 weeks ago and I have used this Cold Therapy System at least 3 times a day. It really helped the swelling. It wraps around the knee, back and front so you get this cool feeling all around. With the ice packs which I used on my first knee replacement 18 months ago, they were too rigid and didn’t wrap around the like the Cold Therapy System does. I would recommend this system over the ice packs anytime.
