The Polar Ice box is so simple to use and works amazingly well. Of course each doctor and therapist has a different schedule they want you to use it on your knee, so it's a little inconvenient that you have to plug it in and out everytime you want to turn it on and off, so if you're not very Mobile, that is a little inconvenient. We decided to follow a schedule that keeps the inflammation in check, but doesn't freeze the knee. But there will always be the need for someone to plug and unplug the machine and help with schlepping the water/ice mix in the cooler.
A tip for keeping it cool without having to schlep a full cooler. Is use cold water and add smaller quantities of ice every couple of hours to keep the flow cool enough without having the sensation that your knee is freezing.
Option: PC Cube with WrapOn Knee Large Pad
