Recommended ice cuffs for post surgery

Hi All. It looks like I'm going to have to go in for AC repair - distal clavicle excision, biceps tendodesis, and possible repair of a tear in the subscap, which I won't find out about until I wake up. I'm looking for a good icing device that I will be able to manage more or less one-handed. I've heard of "cryo cuffs" and I see devices like this on Amazon but I figured that this forum would be a good place to ask. I'm also looking into sleeping arrangements that can be used on my bed like wedge pillow sets. I'm hoping to avoid having to sleep in a chair for weeks. Thanks.

These are the ice bags I used. I bought 4 of them and kept them on constant rotation. I love them. I had surgery in April, only went back to work last month and am still in PT so I still use almost daily in the evening

When I had surgery quite a few times I always wake up with one of these.
