These ice men are fabulous! I highly recommend them for any type of injury or surgery
Wife had knee replacement surgery on 26Aug26. Used my Donjoy Iceman 3 with universal pad, obtained thru VA, on her. I had used same for my left knee, and right hip replacements from the past. On third day of post surgery, my wife was walking, with walker, with minimum pain. Honestly, stopped taking her pain medication and replaced same with 2 Tylenol every 6 hours, after the 3rd day. She stated her pain level was at about 3 to 4 out of 10. My recovery was about the same. Our icing regiment was 30 minutes on, starting on day one. A hour, to a hour and a half off, than 30 minutes more. She experienced very minimal swelling on night 2. None since. The Top Secret with this "IceMan 3 Clear" machine. Place a pitcher, filled with water, into refrigerator to chill. More with that later. Purchase 10 "Cooler Shock", SANDWICH SIZE, ice packs from, you know where. They sell in packs of 5, so 2 packs. Follow the directions and place in freezer for approximately 5 to 6 hours. Using 5 ice packs, lay one flat on bottom inside of machine with white cap near the pump. Place one icepack on each side of tank, and the last two, in a 45 degree angle across the center of tank. Stand one up on it's long end, if need to, making sure it is still below the top rim of tank. A total of 5 icepacks. Now, fill all open space with ice cubes keeping the water line visible. Now, pour that pitcher of cold water, from the refrigerator, over the ice cubes, making sure to remain one quarter, to a half inch BELOW the fill line, to compensate for the melting ice. Just use regular tap water to bring up to the point listed above, if needed. Refill pitcher with water, and place back into refrigerator. Place lid on iceman. GARENTEED TO REMAIN ICE COLD FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 HOURS! If you do not purchase a "skin protector" liner to place between your skin and ice pad, You Must Use, at Least, A WHITE COTTON T-SHIRT, FOLDED IN HALF, from the neck to the bottom, and lay same across the area, PREVENTING, the icepad from touching any part of your skin! This, iceman clear 3 machine, will become your Best Friend Forever! My 49 year old son, hearing about his mother's success, stated that he would be buying an Iceman clear 3 for himself for his knee replacement surgery scheduled for mid September. I decided to surprise him with same and found "supplycoldtherapy.com", to have the lowest pricing. I was even more surprized, when it arrived at my front door within 48 hours after placing my order, in mint condition. I plan on ordering various other pads for the iceman clear 3 in the near future, and thru this company! I hope, and pray, that this review finds someone and it helps make a big difference in their recovery, and in their life! SemperFi!
He’s having surgery in April.
A dear friend purchased this for me post knee replacement. This device chills the knee so much better, longer and more consistently than the ice wraps I was sent home with from the hospital. The first night after use the swelling had reduced significantly. Every knee replacement patient should have access to one of these!
Took iceman with me to hospital, and used right after total knee replacement surgery! It is a great machine and I am so glad I purchased one. Will definitely assist in the healing process!
