GelPaq vs. Other Brands ‘The Real Deal’ Let's face it, freezing makes most things rigid & brittle. Reusable gel foot ice packs for injuries are no exception to this rule. Other brands do their best to overcome this barrier with designs loaded with straps to stay in place. The downside, straps make applying cumbersome and sometimes downright confusing. Now the wearer is strapped to a loose fitting 'block of ice' on their foot that won’t stay in place. How does GelPaq overcome this barrier, you ask? Quite simple, design a reusable foot ice pack wrap shaped like the human foot (like a shoe). Referred as contouring. Contouring eliminates the need for straps, and provides the user a more pleasurable, hassle-free recovery with a reusable gel ankle and foot ice pack that almost feels custom made for your foot. But will it fit my foot? GelPaq’s 3 large velcro tabs allows for multiple adjustments accommodating many sizes: Women 8 – 14 and Men 7 – 12. Patient Survey 100 orthopedic and podiatry patients were independently surveyed, interested in trying a complimentary strapless GelPaq. We thank the women and men who responded and for their participation. Below is what they had to share with us: 89% of the participants reported the GelPaq strapless design was easy and hassle-free to use 91% said GelPaq delivered effective therapy to the injured area and stayed in place during use 82% planned to purchase a 2nd GelPaq, and 90.5% would recommend to a friend/family 96% post-surgery patients responded that their wounds healed faster using GelPaq regularlyWARRANTY.

Other brand’s straps that are too tight when adjusting, can cut blood flow at critical areas, for a faster more effective recovery. GelPaq’s adjustable design keeps blood flowing and vessels open, while delivering hot & cold therapy to every point along the foot. GelPaq is also microwavable to soothe discomforts, increases muscle flexibility & heal damaged tissues. PODIATRY PATIENTS SPEAK OUT – We surveyed 100 podiatry patients given complimentary strap ankle ice pack wraps by a leading brand, recommended by their doctor. 50% reported difficulty lacing up the straps on their foot, another 65% indicated the straps were so long that in most instances, the straps failed to keep the ankle wrap properly in place on their feet and on the injured area. One notable patient mentions, “after two hours trying every whichaway to put this around my ankle, I gave up”. STRAPLESS IS EASIER – Why hassle with confusing strap foot ice pack designs when your foot or ankle needs relief now? Suffer from back pain when bending over excessively? Don’t punish yourself twice! Other brands strap designs can put more stress & strain on your lower back just to get their ankle ice wraps on your foot. With GelPaq strapless, simply put your foot in the ankle ice pack wrap compression and fasten. That’s it.
