Product Reviews of Chattanooga Blue Vinyl ColPac Oversize
Product Review: Cold and Fat
Summary: 5 Stars
Near perfect total spine cold pack. Now the reason for the extra price is clear: Not only is this longer but it is double stuffed with coolant. So when you lie down it creates a most welcome pillow for the entire spine - shoulders on down. If upper and lower back pain is an issue, chances are you will be very happy to have this in the freezer.Product Review: Works wonders for rehabilitation, and chills guacamole perfectly.... seriously!
Summary: 5 Stars
This cold pack stays flexible so it can be formed to fit around a leg, or arm, and is big enough to use for your back.....I blew out my knee a year ago and my therapist used this cold pack on my knee, I used one of those little ones u get in the drug store and it just didnt do the job. So my G/F purchased one of these online and it was exactly what I needed. I can wrap it around my knee with ease, and the sheer weight of it keeps it in contact with the affected area. It came in extremely handy after I had my first knee surgery also.
Just a few weeks I ago visited my mom and dad, and found out my father hurt his back and was in some severe pain. So my girlfriend and I drove home after dinner with my parents, grabbed the cool pack out of our freezer and gave it to my dad. The size of the pack worked perfect for his back, and he improved much faster than he thought he would. Of course I told them to keep it, and I had another one.
Of course I didnt have 2 of these so I immediately ordered one from amazon that same night. It showed up 1 day before I was scheduled for another knee surgery. As before this thing has made recovery much better. I will be starting physical therapy again this week, and it is very reassuring to know I have this cold pack on hand!
Granted it is the "oversize" model but when its in your freezer, and laid out straight (do not make sharp bends in it) it really makes a small footprint.
As for a cover, I use a pillow case (the size is perfect) and so do the a pinch I can use a clean dish towel. Remember to check with your doctor/therapist for proper use, most suggest 20-30 minutes at a time in order to not damage any nerves.
Another use I have found for it is to chill guacamole! No joke, we have an avocado farm near us and we get perfect cados! But no matter where u get em they are not cold, and I dont like warm guacamole. I heard that refrigerating may increase the browning of them though. So, I take a large plastic bowl and put it in the freezer along with my cold pack and turn up the freezer for 10 minutes....While this is going on I cut and skin the cados. When that is done I take out my cold pack, set it flat on the counter (sometimes prop 1 side up against the bowl too) and make my guacamole.....The good stuff comes out perfect! Green, tasty, cold, and no browning! Yes I add a bit of lemon to keep it from browning longer too, but with the cold pack and the cold bowl I dont have to cover and refrigerate the guac for a little while if I want seconds for my taquitos and such.
Give it a try! This way even when u are not injured, you can make your cold pack pay for itself!
I would highly recommend this product!
