I appreciate it and the personalized response (not an auto generated message)! I just got done with icing my ankle with my “ankle wrap” that I bought last year. I use it on a regular basis. I love it! I need the compression along with the ice. I hope the back wrap is as successful for me. My ankle is a constant problem (I need a fusion or replacement). My back problem is only sporadic…this snow we’ve been having isn’t helping it!
fyi – thought you would enjoy this note from my dad – a retired> periodontist. The ER docs were impressed as the ortho doc. Looks like you will have more orders from his tennis park! If his colleagues want to order some, how do they do that? Also, I can’t thank you enough for the Cold One wraps for my sore wrists and knees. They came in so handy, and have the folks in our park, the local ER staff, and the orthopods amazed and praising them. Last Monday a gal in our park fell in the adjacent tennis court and broke a tibia and fibula. Her RN partner got her down, comfortable, immobile, whilst I flew home to our freezer to return w/ two frozen wrapss, with which we immediately wrapped her ankle, got her into golf cart, to car for hosp trip. All were so pleased because the parts were well immobilized, minimizing—or eliminating—displacement, making the Rx less extensive and traumatic, and helping the healing process. You and the Cleve Clinic are big heroes, and I told all my ‘kid-the-doc’ is responsible. Plus, those wraps really help my sore wrist post-tennis. Again, can’t thank you enough…and for greasing the way for Jay Jones. > God bless,
Don’t believe I didn’t even tell you it was my ankle. At any rate, I want to thank you sooo very much for your (speedy) response. It has helped me so much and my ankle has improved a lot. Talk about service!! And it was a long email. You are the best!!
Got my cold one ankle wrap after surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon. It was so helpful to be able to not only concentrate the cold on the right spot, but be able to get up to answer the phone etc if necessary. It just literally drives cold deep into your injury, and soothes it like no other.
An Achilles injury is a life long problem – and even to this day 1.5 years later, I still ice it after exercise. My cold one wrap is as good as new, and still does the job. One of the best purchases I have ever made.
I bought the wrap after a fall that broke my ankle off. It was re-attached with screws and plates and put in a cast for a few months. After removal of the cast, I was not able to get the swelling and pain down with any of the normal cold treatments, and did not want to continue taking pain medication. The combination of cold and pressure did the job, and I have used it periodically ever since when I overdo it. I bought another one.
Worked well at first, but cells lost liquid and the cooling ability diminished.
Rather expensive to last only as long as it did.
Switched to the blue ice type product that was more durable, albeit not as customizable to the ankle.
Improve the cooling and durability and I’ll be back.
Cold One guarantees against defects in materials and workmanship. It sounds like you have a defective wrap. Call Martin at (503) 620-3403 and he will arrange a replacement.
I bought the foot wrap for my very severe plantar fasciitis. I thought the wrap was easier to use then a separate freezer pack and wrap which was always shifting and falling off. It also stayed colder longer. I can’t really say that it improved my condition but I would still recommend it for anyone needing to ice their foot. The only improvement would be to make it wrap around the heel better.
Thanks.
I have suffered with plantar fasciitis in both feet for more than five years. At times the pain was so excruciating that I feared I might end up in a wheelchair. The condition effectively halted my favorite activity (walking), and I went from three-mile daily walks to being barely able to make it around the block without being in tears. Such a chronic condition can take all the joy out of life. Anyone who has plantar fasciitis will understand what I’m saying. I tried all the usual modalities: orthotics (both custom and store-bought), gel cushions, cortisone shots, foot exercises, rolling a ball under my foot, icing with an ice bag, icing with a towel, even icing by rubbing an ice cube directly on my heel (very dangerous, but I was so desperate for relief that I was willing to try anything). A night brace helped with morning pain, but more often than not, I dreaded the thought of sitting down because I knew I would have to get up and the pain would instantly follow. My podiatrist recommended icing four times a day, but even with all those various methods, nothing helped much. I did an extensive online search for something — anything — that would take some of the pain away and found the Cold One concept of driving cold into the inflamed area by compression to make the most sense. I purchased a Cold One foot wrap but really didn’t have much faith that it would work – I was just desperate. However, by far, the wrap has been the most effective treatment method I have found. After twice- to three-times-a-day use for only a few days, my pain began to subside, and after a couple of weeks of regular treatment, it was gone. If I overstress my foot, of course, it returns, but a couple of sessions with my wrap have routinely taken care of the flare-ups, and even at its worst, my pain is nowhere near where it was before. I am back to walking and I use the wrap post-walk so that the pain does not get out of hand (or foot!). The intensity of the cold can take some getting used to, but patience is rewarded. It certainly helped me, and I have recommended it to others. Please, if you have plantar fasciitis pain, give this product a try. I am so glad I did.

Acute Achilles Tendonitis required frequent use of Cold One Wraps. Have a half dozen newer black and several older blue wraps in various configurations. I used them all on ankles regardless of their “made for” purpose. They continue to be instrumental in alleviating discomfort and swelling. Been using these wraps for a long time to “cool off” complaining tendons, muscles, etc., following gym workouts. Retired, but still pumping iron.
I was 56 when I broke my tibia, fibula, and ankle. After surgery, I
used my Cold One ankle wrap every day. You get maximum exposure to the ice, yet it was still light weight. I would recommend it for anyone who
has an ankle injury and needs to reduce swelling in the ankle area.
I won’t go into the details on why I ordered a cold wrap for my foot only to say it was related to a painful sports injury. I had been using the traditional cold packs, straight ice and other non cooling wraps but this wrap offered a significant improvement over all of those. In addition to the performance benefits it was far more comfortable to wear, especially while sleeping, as well as allowing me greater mobility during the day. I highly recommend it.

The Ankle/Foot wrap is a bit over kill for Plantar Fasciitis.
Cold One makes a wrap specifically for Plantar Fasciitis which concentrates the icing and compression on the sole and heel of the foot.

I have used the knee, foot and shoulder cold wraps. Terrific products !
The knee wrap is great – I keep one at work and at home.
