Volume 38| Number 6 | June 2008 

ActiveWrap Inc. of Cypress, Ca has introduced a shoulder heat and ice  wrap. Constructed with 2 large reusable hot-cold thermal packs, the ActiveWrap device is designed to deliver superior function and fit with better comfort and conforming materials, improved sizing, and overall ease of use.                                                                              
     The wrap's ergonomic strategically vented neo-lycra sleeve allows the typical shoulder patient to apply the device without assistance and without sacrificing mobility.  The shoulder wrap also features dual rotator cuff straps to drive cold where the pateint needs it most, alleviating loose "untouched" areas.
     In addition to the overall structural design of the ActiveWrap shoulder device, a stretch gel ice component insures lightweight, flexible therapy around the entire joint capsule. The patient or therapist can also target exact spots by removing one of the two included hot/cold packs inside the support wrap.
