SIZING GUIDE

SHOULDER ICE WRAP : ActiveWrap's Sm-MD shoulder ice wrap is the popular choice for youth, women and small frame individuals. The main difference is in the arm sleeve opening and the shorter adjustable chest strap with this model. If you happen to be a smaller frame bodybuilder with large arms please opt for our LG-XL size to accomodate your build.  For most adults the best choice is the Lg-XL size for versatility. We can customize any shoulder by adding a smaller or larger chest strap to your order.

FOOT AND ANKLE HEAT ICE WRAP: - ActiveWrap® Foot and Ankle Ice Wrap can hold 2-3 packs comfortably in a wrap. Often times only one pack is needed during treatments (such as Achilles or Sever's Disease injuries) allowing you more size flexibility and the freedom to cycle extra packs in and out of the wrap for additional treatments. This allows for ice that is always ready without the wait for re–freezing. Support can be worn to increase warmth and circulation to the joint without thermal inserts.

KNEE HEAT ICE WRAP: In general, most kids, women and men under 140 lbs will fall under our Sm/Md size. To make certain, simply measure 3 inches above the knee and if you are under 17 inches around you will take a Sm/Md.

Everything over 17 inches we suggest a Lg/Xl wrap or X-Wide Model (that holds up to 3 packs). All thermal inserts are the same 7 x 10" inch size regardless of wrap size. Our Lg/Xl wrap is equipped with extra long compression straps to handle larger size legs and increased wrapping for more support to the joint. Our X-Wide is set up with a larger plush body and smaller straps to hold 3 packs at a time for more coverage around the knee for post op or severe swelling indications. You can also add the XL 53" compression strap for more pressure if you prefer.

WRIST/HAND HEAT ICE WRAP: Our wrist/hand wrap is a universal one size fits most wrap. It can be used either left or right hand. The design is optimally applied with one therapy pack during a given treatment however you can utilize 2 with one pack on top and one on bottom if desired. The wrist support is an effective ergonomic aid for cpu activities when one pad is placed under the palmar surface of the hand. Use without thermal inserts for continuous heat retention to the joint. This wrap is great for Carpal Tunnel Applications

What is Cryotherapy and the benefits of using a cold pack on injury- Answer: Practice of using cold therapy to aid in recovery. Ice is used immediately after injury to prevent swelling and pain. It reduces pain and inflammation,limits scar tissue and decreases muscle contraction. Cold therapy reduces blood flow to the area which reduces bruising. When the involved area is reduced in temperature to around 60-61 degrees Fahrenheit  nerve conduction is reduced resulting in a pain relief affect.

How long should I use cold therapy for? Answer: Up to 72 hours post injury and you can ice up to 3-4 daily until the pain,swelling, throbbing subside.

Can I walk with my ActiveWrap Foot Wrap? Answer: YES…around the house. Simply remove the pouch underneath the arch and you have full flexibility of movement during treatment for Ankle, Achilles or injuries to the top side of the foot. Our knee/leg wrap also allows freedom of basic movement without slipping but is not designed for use during a workout.

How long do the ice packs stay cold ? Answer: ActiveWrap® packs are designed to keep the optimally desired cold at the foot (between 40 to 50 degrees) for over 20' mintues when applied.  The standard recommended treatment time is 15'. Ice packs claiming to stay cold for several hours at a time are generally chemical based and reach temperatures that can be harmful to the skin and underlying tissue. Remember a colder pack does not mean a quicker recovery.

How long do the packs stay warm?  Small packs retain their warmth about 20 minutes however the benefits continue long past this when used inside our thermal heat retaining compress. Our compress locks in the packs warmth for another full 20 minutes minimum after. Our large hot and cold therapy packs provide up to 40 minutes of warmth.

How long do my ActiveWrap Ice Packs last? Typically under every day clinical use 2-3 years before we recommend replacing the hot and cold therapy packs. 

What is the difference with your ice packs compared to basic drugstore ice packs? Answer: ActiveWrap® ice packs are uniquely manufactured to prevent "gel migration." This means that the gel material in our hot and cold therapy packs is elastic or rubbery by nature and can not be pushed or flattened from one side to the other. If you imagine a tube of toothpaste being pushed from the bottom up, this is how traditional gel packs have reacted under pressure. ActiveWrap® ice packs deliver a uniform blanketing treatment when used for both heat and or ice therapy. No migration...no bare spots...a big difference. 

Are the products Non-Toxic? Yes all ActiveWrap® hot and cold therapy products are made with a food grade gel and registered with the FDA. 

How do I HEAT my ActiveWrap® packs? Remove from the nylon pouch and place in a shallow microwave container. Fill the container just enough to cover the pack and follow the time instructions located on the actual pack (see image below). Small packs typically heat in 1-1.5 minutes and our Large packs range from 1.5 - 2 minutes time. Upon removing from microwave, empty hot water out and test pack for heat following all precautions as per each pack.

Are ActiveWrap's designed for use during activity? Answer: ActiveWrap® is designed for before and after sport or therapy. However, our BACK wrap can be used during activity and as a lightweight compression support around the back.

Is there any kind of warranty? Answer:YES. The ActiveWrap® PAIN FREE WARRANTY. All items are complete with a full one year warranty. The best in the business.

How do I clean my wrap? Answer: A simple fresh water rinse and hang dry will keep your wrap clean for years to come.

I use ice cubes and an elastic wrap in the gym…why should we use ActiveWrap? Answer: Why did we switch from horse drawn carriages to automobiles? Modern materials and efficiency. Ice is often hard and sharp resulting in discomfort when compressed against the skin. This leads to an individual having to reduce the pressure of wrapping the joint to tolerate a typical treatment. The ActiveWrap® allows for a snug–fit combining maximum compression and direct cold coverage to any painful area. ActiveWrap® is easy to apply for any age athlete and will save your facility money in the long term with countless re-usable applications. Ice bags tear and cost money along with the elastic wraps or plastic that is used to secure the ice to the body. Gym facilities will further reduce the chance of dripping water on the floor reducing liability risks within the gym by using ActiveWrap® hot and cold therapy.

Tips for using hot and cold therapy

Dont wait for an injury to incorporate ice into your training routine. Prevent overuse and typical inflammatory injuries by icing down after each workout for 15 minutes. Your cool down phase of training is just as important as a proper warm–up. Do not sleep with an ice pack on your body. Hot and Cold therapy and use of ActiveWrap® should be no longer than 15' at a time unless otherwise directed during professional supervision. Do not lay directly as to apply your body weight on an ice pack. Ice during travel by keeping an ice pack or two at the gym and a couple at home.  If you use the ice and cold therapy alot, it is a good idea to give your skin a rest from time to time to prevent any chance of skin irritation. A thin paper towel is always good between cold and direct skin contact.
