I used the holder with these gel packs while in the hospital.  The major problem with the gel packs is they do not get cool very fast and do not retain the cold for any length of time.  A standard gel pack for lunch boxes that you can buy at the big box stores is far superior.  I bought these because they fit the holder and were a stopgap measure until I could find other gel packs that would fit.<br /><br />Note, I had to use ice during the whole day to prevent swelling (hip surgery).  These gel packs are virtually useless.  You have to constantly rotate them but that fails because they will not get cold fast enough.  Their only advantage is they fit the holder.<br />.
