Ice It! Reusable Cold Pack — E-Pack Single, 6" × 12" (Model 502)
Ice It! Reusable Cold Pack — E-Pack Single, 6" × 12" (Model 502)
The large 6" × 12" E-Pack — the designated refill for the Ice It! Knee (Model 512) and Shoulder (Model 516) systems. Also works as a generous standalone cold pack for knees, shoulders, thighs, and other large areas. Stays flexible when frozen, molds to body contours, maintains temperature longer than generic packs. Non-toxic fill, latex-free vinyl, reusable. Also microwaveable for hot therapy. $15.99.
Our Take: The E-Pack is the workhorse refill pack for the two most popular joint-specific Ice It! systems — the Knee (512) and Shoulder (516). Each of those systems uses two E-Packs, so if you need to replace worn packs or stock spares for rotation, this is the one. At 6" × 12" it's also a substantial standalone cold pack — large enough to cover a knee, wrap a shoulder, or lay across a thigh or lower back. The key advantage over generic packs: it stays flexible when frozen and molds to the body rather than sitting like a rigid block. At $15.99 per pack, buy two for a complete system refill or keep extras in the freezer for continuous rotation during longer therapy sessions. If you need two packs at once, the E-Pack Double (Model 522) bundles two E-Packs together. If you need a smaller general-purpose pack, the A-Pack (Model 500) at 4.5" × 9" is $10.99.
Why You'd Choose the E-Pack
- The E-Pack at 6" × 12" is the exact size used in the Ice It! Knee (Model 512) and Shoulder (Model 516) systems. Each system requires two E-Packs. Replace worn packs or buy extras for rotation.
- At 6" × 12" this is one of the largest individual Ice It! packs. Covers a knee, shoulder, thigh, or lower back area by itself. More thermal mass means longer cold duration than smaller packs.
- Remains pliable at freezer temperature. Conforms to the contour of a knee or shoulder rather than sitting rigidly on top. Better contact = deeper cold penetration into the inflamed area.
- The gel fill maintains its temperature longer for maximum therapeutic benefit. The larger 6" × 12" size provides more thermal mass than smaller packs, extending cold duration.
- Buy two or more and keep them in the freezer. When the active pack warms up, swap in a fresh one for continuous uninterrupted cold therapy. Essential for post-surgery recovery sessions.
- Heat in the microwave in 30-second cycles for hot therapy. Useful for alternating hot and cold on chronic joint conditions. One pack, two therapy modes.
- Safe, non-toxic fill inside latex-free vinyl. Built to withstand repeated freezing and thawing cycles without degrading. Far more economical and reliable than bags of ice or frozen peas.
- Need two at once? The E-Pack Double (Model 522) bundles two 6" × 12" packs — a complete refill kit for the Knee 512 or Shoulder 516 system in one purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the E-Pack used for?
The E-Pack is a large 6 by 12 inch cold pack that can be used by itself for standalone cold therapy or as a refill pack for the Ice It Knee system Model 512 and the Shoulder system Model 516. Both of those systems use two E-Packs each. Keep spares in the freezer and rotate them for continuous uninterrupted cold therapy.
Which Ice It! wrap systems does the E-Pack fit?
The E-Pack at 6 by 12 inches is the designated refill pack for the Knee system Model 512 and the Shoulder system Model 516. Both systems require two E-Packs. You can also purchase the E-Pack Double Model 522 which includes two packs as a complete refill kit.
Does the E-Pack stay flexible when frozen?
Yes. The E-Pack remains fully flexible even at normal freezing temperature. It molds around the knee, shoulder, or any painful area rather than sitting like a rigid block. The low freezing point keeps the pack pliable for better body contact and deeper cold penetration.
How long does the E-Pack stay cold?
The E-Pack maintains its temperature longer than generic ice packs for maximum therapeutic benefit. At 6 by 12 inches it has more thermal mass than smaller packs, so it stays cold longer. Keep a second E-Pack in the freezer for rotation during extended therapy sessions.
What is the difference between the E-Pack Single and the E-Pack Double?
The E-Pack Single Model 502 is one 6 by 12 inch cold pack at $15.99. The E-Pack Double Model 522 is two 6 by 12 inch cold packs. The Double is a convenient refill kit if you need to replace both packs in your Knee 512 or Shoulder 516 system at once.
Can the E-Pack be used for heat therapy?
Yes. The E-Pack can be heated in the microwave for hot therapy. Heat in short cycles of approximately 30 seconds at a time and check between cycles to prevent overheating. Heating instructions are printed directly on the pack.
Is the E-Pack safe?
Yes. The E-Pack is filled with non-toxic material inside latex-free vinyl. It is reusable and can be used several times a day. The material is designed to withstand repeated freezing and thawing cycles without degrading.
