Hold great, so much so you can't get it off!
I have been using these for over 20 years and found them very useful in clinical situations. The problem I had with this one is that the velcro sticks so tightly I have great difficulty removing it from my patient, it just does not want to let go. The best way to remove them is to pull them down to the floor, let the patient step out of them and then try to pull them apart a bit at a time starting with a corner and working towards the middle. Believe it or not, this takes a few minutes and a lot of effort. The first time I used it on a patient I tried to take it off as I usually would by undoing the velcro while it was still on the patient so I could remove the pads and ice pack before standing the patient up. After pulling and pulling on the velcro and finding that it wasn't coming off at all, I pulled out the pads and Ice pack, asked the patient to stand, pulled the belt down to the floor and let the patient leave before wrestling with the velcro. Unlike the Nylex Wraps I have previously bought that were easy to put on and remove, this one required way too much effort to remove and so I sent it back. Either I received a strap with defective velcro fasteners that were way to tight or the company needs to replace the velcro fasteners they are currently using.
