Description
Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro Full Long Leg Wrap – Standard Cold Compression Therapy
The Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro Full Long Leg Wrap – Standard is an extended-length cold compression therapy accessory designed for use with the standard Cryo Pro Control Unit. Measuring 82 cm (32.3 inches) in length, the Full Long Leg Wrap offers more extensive coverage than the shorter 63.5 cm Cryo Pro Full Leg Wrap, making it a useful option for individuals who require cooling and intermittent pneumatic compression across a larger area of the leg.
The wrap is designed to deliver circulating chilled water and controlled compression to the lower limb when connected to the compatible Cryo Pro system. Its adjustable wraparound design helps maintain contact with the treatment area, while the extended length makes it particularly suitable for prescribed rehabilitation programmes requiring broader leg coverage. The manufacturer also describes an additional adjustable pressure pump supplied with its Full Leg and Full Long Leg wraps, allowing additional compression to be tailored to the user's requirements.
The Cryo Pro Full Long Leg Wrap may be suitable for selected post-operative rehabilitation programmes, sports injury recovery and physiotherapy treatments where cold compression therapy has been recommended.
Please note: The Full Long Leg Wrap is an accessory for the Cryo Pro system. The Cryo Pro Control Unit is required for operation and is sold separately unless expressly included in a package.
Extended 82 cm Full Leg Coverage
The Cryo Pro Full Long Leg Wrap has been designed for users who require a longer treatment wrap than the standard Full Leg model. At 82 cm in length, it provides an additional 18.5 cm of nominal length compared with the 63.5 cm Full Leg Wrap. This makes it a practical choice for suitable rehabilitation programmes involving a larger area of the leg. The extended design may be particularly useful where treatment needs to cover more than one region of the lower limb. Actual anatomical coverage will depend on the user's height, leg dimensions and how the wrap is positioned.
Cold Compression Therapy for the Lower Limb
The Cryo Pro system combines two established physical therapy approaches:
- Circulating cold water therapy: Chilled water passes through the wrap to deliver cooling across the selected treatment area.
- Intermittent pneumatic compression: The compatible control unit provides controlled compression during the treatment session.
Together, these functions may help manage localised swelling and provide temporary relief from discomfort following suitable injuries or procedures. Cold compression therapy should be used as part of an appropriate rehabilitation programme rather than as a replacement for medical assessment or treatment.
Suitable for Post-Operative Rehabilitation
The Full Long Leg Wrap may be suitable for patients who have been advised to use cold compression following certain lower-limb procedures. Potential applications include selected rehabilitation programmes following:
- Knee replacement surgery
- Knee ligament reconstruction
- Other appropriate knee procedures
- Selected lower-limb soft tissue operations
- Certain orthopaedic procedures involving the leg
The extended coverage may be useful where the prescribed treatment area extends beyond the knee. Treatment should follow the instructions provided by the surgeon, physiotherapist or rehabilitation team.
Suitable for Sports Injury Recovery
The Full Long Leg Wrap may also be considered for appropriate sports injury rehabilitation.
- Selected thigh muscle injuries
- Suitable knee ligament injuries
- Localised muscular swelling
- Certain lower-limb soft tissue injuries
- Appropriate post-exercise rehabilitation programmes
The correct treatment approach depends on the nature and stage of injury.
Adjustable Wraparound Design
The Cryo Pro Full Long Leg Wrap is designed to be positioned around the leg and secured using adjustable fastening. Its wraparound construction helps maintain coverage across the selected treatment area. The wrap should fit securely without causing excessive pressure, numbness or discomfort. The manufacturer recommends placing a thin protective layer of clothing between the wrap and skin during treatment.
Additional Adjustable Pressure Pump
The manufacturer's Full Leg and Full Long Leg accessory literature describes an additional adjustable pressure pump supplied with the large leg wraps. This pump is intended to provide additional compression adjustment for the larger wrap. It does not replace the Cryo Pro Control Unit, which is required to circulate chilled water and operate the treatment programmes.
Compatible with Nine Cryo Pro Treatment Programmes
The standard Cryo Pro Control Unit offers nine selectable treatment programmes. These combine three compression settings with three treatment durations.
- Low: 20, 40 or 60 minutes
- Medium: 20, 40 or 60 minutes
- High: 20, 40 or 60 minutes
The manufacturer's general guidance recommends treatment sessions of approximately 20–40 minutes, with breaks between sessions, subject to healthcare professional advice.
Simple Ice and Water Therapy
The Cryo Pro system requires ice, water and a compatible power source. Once the control unit has been prepared, the Full Long Leg Wrap is connected using the appropriate hose. The user can then select the prescribed treatment programme using the control unit. The manufacturer's general guidance identifies a recommended treatment temperature of approximately 4–15°C.
ndividual settings should follow professional advice.
Easy to Drain and Maintain
Following treatment, residual water should be removed from the wrap using the appropriate draining procedure. The separately available Cryo Pro Drain Gadget can help make this process more convenient. The wrap should then be cleaned, dried and stored according to the manufacturer's instructions.
