Cold Therapy
This Elbow Wrap combines cold therapy, support, and compression in a single, easy to use wrap that can be worn over or under clothes, with NO ICY MESS. Typical users of this wrap are those suffering from a golfer's elbow, tennis elbow, general elbow pain or post elbow fracture care. It is also common for the cold compression wraps to be used after a particularly vigorous workout that has stressed the elbow joint.
This cold compression wrap is a highly endorsed product on About.com, and is also endorsed by the Mayo Clinic as the best combination brace and cold pack for athletic injuries.
To use simply, place the wrap in a freezer for about an hour to freeze the sewn-in gels. The frozen wrap is then applied and tightened to achieve compression, and drive the cold deep into the soft tissues surrounding the elbow to stop or reduce elbow pain. The wrap will drive cold into the elbow and lower the internal tissue temperature by 10 degrees or more. Immediate relief of elbow pain is obtained, and lasts for several hours.
Application of the wrap in its frozen state several times a day will stop the inflammation and minimize elbow pain. If used over a long term, the body will use its energy to heal the injured tissues instead of leaking blood and fluid into the injured area (which causes inflammation and pain).
The compression drives the cold deep into the muscles and elbow joint to provide soothing relief and faster recovery from sore and swollen elbow tendons, ligaments and muscles. The sooner an elbow injury is treated, the faster the recovery time. Continued use of a frozen cold compression elbow wrap will help an injured elbow heal faster. It reduces swelling and pain significantly, and gets the injured participant/athlete back to a natural state.
Our Cold Compression wraps are constructed with an outer layer of nitrogen blown neoprene, a middle layer of sewn in re-freezable gels, and an inner layer of rubberized linen (see image). All three layers stretch together to provide compression you can adjust to your comfort level. The wrap provides excellent cold/ice therapy, plus compression to reduce swelling and elbow pain from injury or reoccurring injury. This is the modality most recommended by MD's, and sports trainers and physical therapists.
The Cold Compression Elbow Wrap can be used against skin or over clothing, with NO messy ice or condensation.
This is MD and trainer recommended therapy.
