Description
Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap – Reinforced 360° Cold Compression Therapy
The Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap is a specially reinforced cold compression therapy accessory designed for use with the higher-capacity Cryo Pro XL Control Unit.
Providing 360° coverage around the knee, this adjustable wrap delivers circulating cold water and intermittent pneumatic compression when connected to the compatible therapy system. The Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap has been developed to accommodate the enhanced pressure performance of the Cryo Pro XL, making it the recommended choice for customers using the XL control unit.
Suitable for prescribed post-operative rehabilitation, knee injury recovery and physiotherapy programmes, the wrap offers a practical way to apply targeted cold compression around the knee.
Its adjustable hook-and-loop fastenings allow the wrap to be positioned securely, while its reinforced construction is designed to provide durability when used with the higher-capacity system. The wrap measures 330 × 1125 mm, the same physical dimensions as the standard Cryo Pro Knee Wrap.
Please note: This product includes the reinforced XL Knee Wrap only. The Cryo Pro XL Control Unit and appropriate connection hose are sold separately unless included in a specified package.
Reinforced Construction for Cryo Pro XL
The key advantage of the Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap is its specially reinforced construction. The Cryo Pro XL Control Unit features greater pressure capacity than the standard Cryo Pro system. To accommodate this enhanced performance, Dr. Aktive has developed reinforced XL therapy wraps designed for greater durability and longevity. The XL Knee Wrap is therefore particularly suitable for customers purchasing a new Cryo Pro XL system or replacing an existing knee wrap.
The XL designation refers to system compatibility and reinforced construction, not a larger knee size.
360° Knee Cold Compression
The Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap is designed to surround the knee, providing extensive treatment coverage. When connected to the Cryo Pro XL Control Unit, chilled water circulates through the wrap while pneumatic compression is applied in repeated cycles. This combination may help:
- Manage swelling following appropriate knee surgery
- Relieve localised discomfort
- Support prescribed knee rehabilitation
- Provide cooling around the knee joint
- Assist suitable sports injury recovery programmes
- Provide targeted treatment through a compatible cold compression system
The wrap should be used according to the instructions of the treating healthcare professional.
Suitable for Post-Operative Knee Recovery
The Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap may be suitable for patients who have been advised to use cold compression following procedures such as:
- Knee replacement surgery
- ACL reconstruction
- Meniscus surgery
- Arthroscopic knee procedures
- Selected ligament repairs
- Other suitable knee operations
The wrap provides a convenient way to apply cooling and compression as part of an individual recovery plan. Cold compression is a supportive treatment and does not replace prescribed rehabilitation exercises, medication or medical follow-up.
Ideal for Cryo Pro XL Dual-Hose Therapy
The Cryo Pro XL Control Unit supports an optional dual-hose arrangement. This allows two compatible therapy wraps to be used simultaneously. For patients who have been prescribed treatment to both knees, two suitable XL Knee Wraps can be connected using the compatible XL dual hose. This may be useful in certain rehabilitation programmes where treatment of two areas has been recommended. The dual-hose accessory and second wrap are sold separately unless included in a package.
Adjustable Hook-and-Loop Fastenings
The Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap features adjustable hook-and-loop fastening. This allows the wrap to be positioned around the knee and secured according to the user's leg dimensions. Its adjustable construction helps accommodate a range of users while providing appropriate coverage. The wrap should be fitted securely but should not cause excessive pressure, pain or restriction. A thin protective layer of clothing should be placed between the wrap and skin according to the manufacturer's guidance.
Compatible with Cryo Pro XL Therapy Programmes
When connected to the Cryo Pro XL Control Unit, the knee wrap can be used with the system's nine selectable treatment programmes. These include:
- Low compression
- Medium compression
- High compression
- 20-minute sessions
- 40-minute sessions
- 60-minute sessions
The control unit generates cooling and compression and controls the selected programme. The knee wrap does not operate independently.
Simple Application and Maintenance
The Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap is designed to be straightforward to apply and remove. The adjustable fastening allows the user or carer to position the wrap around the knee. After treatment, residual water can be removed using the appropriate Cryo Pro draining accessory. The wrap should be cleaned, dried and stored according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap may be suitable for:
- Orthopaedic rehabilitation departments
- Physiotherapy clinics
- Sports medicine facilities
- Rehabilitation centres
- Private hospitals
- Supervised home recovery
- Suitable post-operative treatment programmes
