Put ice cubes in a ziplock bag: it doesn't cost anywhere near $200 and will be just as effective!

 

(I just noticed that you were referring to getting ice while in the hospital. I guess I would have someone bring it in--$200 is an insane charge.)


@insomniac2.  I have no idea what's in an ice kit, but when I had my TKR,  I got one of those old fashioned ice packs with a screw on top, filled it about half full of water, and set it flat in the freezer.  A large block of ice doesn't melt so fast.  I really didn't do a huge amount of icing.  Since I live alone, I spent my first two weeks after surgery in a rehab facility.
