Description
Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro Full Leg Wrap – Cold Compression Therapy
The Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro Full Leg Wrap is an adjustable cold compression therapy accessory designed to provide extensive cooling and intermittent pneumatic compression along the leg when connected to the standard Cryo Pro Control Unit.
With a wrap length of 63.5 cm (25 inches), the Full Leg Wrap offers greater treatment coverage than smaller joint-specific accessories, making it a practical option for prescribed lower-limb rehabilitation and post-operative recovery.
The wrap is designed to deliver cold compression across a substantial area of the leg, helping manage localised pain, swelling and discomfort following suitable injuries or surgical procedures.
When connected to the Cryo Pro Control Unit, chilled water circulates through the wrap while intermittent pneumatic compression is applied. This combination provides a convenient alternative to repeatedly positioning conventional ice packs along the leg.
The Full Leg Wrap may be suitable for use in physiotherapy clinics, orthopaedic rehabilitation departments, sports injury centres and supervised home recovery programmes.
Please note: This product includes the standard Full Leg Wrap only. A compatible Cryo Pro Control Unit and connection hose are required for operation and are sold separately unless expressly included in a package.
Extended Cold Compression Coverage for the Leg
The Cryo Pro Full Leg Wrap has been designed to provide cold compression therapy over a larger treatment area than individual knee or ankle wraps. Its 63.5 cm length makes it particularly useful where cooling and compression are required across an extended section of the lower limb. When connected to the compatible control unit, the wrap delivers circulating chilled water and intermittent pneumatic compression.
- Helping manage localised swelling following suitable injuries
- Providing temporary relief from leg pain and discomfort
- Supporting prescribed post-operative rehabilitation
- Delivering cooling across a larger treatment area
- Assisting appropriate muscle and soft tissue injury recovery
- Reducing the need to repeatedly reposition conventional ice packs
Cold compression therapy should be used as part of an appropriate treatment programme and does not replace medical care, prescribed medication or physiotherapy.
Suitable for Post-Operative Lower-Limb Rehabilitation
The Cryo Pro Full Leg Wrap may be suitable for patients who have been advised to use cold compression therapy following certain lower-limb procedures. Potential applications include selected rehabilitation programmes following:
- Knee surgery
- Lower-limb soft tissue procedures
- Ligament reconstruction
- Certain orthopaedic operations
- Other suitable procedures where extended cold compression coverage has been recommended
The wrap may be particularly useful where the treatment area extends beyond a single joint. Treatment should always follow the instructions provided by the surgeon or rehabilitation team.
Cold Compression for Sports Injury Recovery
The Full Leg Wrap may also be considered during suitable sports injury rehabilitation. Its extended coverage makes it a practical option for certain conditions involving:
- Thigh muscle strains
- Lower-limb soft tissue injuries
- Localised muscular swelling
- Selected ligament injuries
- Appropriate sports-related leg discomfort
The suitability of cold compression depends on the type and stage of injury. Unexplained leg swelling, suspected deep vein thrombosis, severe pain or significant circulatory problems require medical assessment before compression therapy is considered.
Adjustable Wraparound Design
The Cryo Pro Full Leg Wrap is designed for convenient positioning around the leg. Its adjustable fastening allows the wrap to be secured according to the user's requirements.
- Straightforward application and removal
- Adjustable positioning around the leg
- Extended treatment coverage
- Convenient use during seated or supported rehabilitation
- Practical use by patients and carers
The wrap should fit securely without excessive tightness. A thin protective layer of clothing should be placed between the wrap and skin in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Designed for the Standard Cryo Pro Control Unit
The standard Full Leg Wrap is intended for use with the Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro Control Unit. The control unit provides nine selectable treatment programmes, combining three compression levels with three treatment durations.
- Low: 20, 40 or 60 minutes
- Medium: 20, 40 or 60 minutes
- High: 20, 40 or 60 minutes
The control unit circulates chilled water and generates intermittent pneumatic compression. The Full Leg Wrap does not operate independently.
Simple Ice and Water Therapy
The Cryo Pro system requires ice, water and a suitable power supply. Once the reservoir has been prepared, the Full Leg Wrap is connected using the appropriate hose. The user then selects the treatment programme on the control unit according to professional advice. The manufacturer's general guidance recommends a treatment temperature of approximately 4–15°C, subject to the individual's condition.
Easy to Drain and Maintain
After treatment, the Full Leg Wrap can be drained using the appropriate Cryo Pro draining accessory. Removing residual water helps prepare the wrap for storage. The wrap should be cleaned and dried according to the manufacturer's instructions. For equipment used by multiple patients, appropriate infection prevention procedures should be followed.
