In the US, the VitalWrap System has already earned its stripes. Specially tailored soft fabric wraps are available for virtually any part of the body, including neck, shoulder, back, arm and knee. The VitalWrap System safely, rapidly and precisely provides its hot and cold therapy. The cooled or warmed fluid is passed through the tubing set to the wrap. As it circulates into the wrap from the control unit, the fluid either applies heat to warm the treatment area or draws it away for deep cooling. The fluid then flows back into the control unit, where it is re-cooled or re-warmed before cycling back into the wrap.
