Description
Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose – Dual Cold Compression Therapy Connector
The Dr. Aktive Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose is a specially designed connection accessory that allows two compatible cold compression therapy wraps to be used simultaneously with the Cryo Pro XL Control Unit.
Developed to expand the versatility of the Cryo Pro XL Cold Compression Therapy System, the Dual Hose allows users to connect two therapy wraps to a single control unit, making it possible to deliver cold compression therapy to two areas of the body during the same treatment session. This practical accessory may be particularly useful during rehabilitation programmes where treatment is required across multiple areas, such as both knees or two different joints, subject to clinical advice and equipment compatibility.
The Cryo Pro XL system features a higher-capacity pump and larger water reservoir than the standard Cryo Pro, allowing it to support dual-hose operation. When connected to the Cryo Pro XL Control Unit, the Dual Hose enables chilled water circulation and intermittent pneumatic compression through two compatible wraps simultaneously. Ideal for physiotherapy clinics, sports rehabilitation facilities, orthopaedic recovery programmes and suitable home rehabilitation, the Dual Hose provides greater flexibility when using the Cryo Pro XL system.
Please note: This product includes the Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose only. The Cryo Pro XL Control Unit and therapy wraps are sold separately unless expressly included in a package.
Simultaneous Cold Compression Therapy for Two Areas
The main advantage of the Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose is its ability to support two therapy wraps at the same time. Rather than connecting and treating one area before moving to another, users can connect two compatible wraps to the XL Control Unit for simultaneous treatment. This may be useful when cold compression has been recommended for:
- Both knees
- Both ankles
- Two suitable joints
- Two separate areas affected by an injury
- Multiple treatment areas during an appropriate rehabilitation programme
The suitability of simultaneous treatment depends on the patient's condition, the selected wraps and the advice of their healthcare professional.
Designed Specifically for the Cryo Pro XL
The Cryo Pro XL Control Unit has been developed with a larger water reservoir and higher pressure capacity than the standard Cryo Pro. These features allow the XL system to support the use of two compatible therapy wraps through the optional Dual Hose. The Dual Hose is intended for use with the Cryo Pro XL Control Unit only.
Why choose the Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose?
- Connect two compatible therapy wraps to one control unit
- Deliver cold compression to two treatment areas simultaneously
- Make use of the XL system's dual-wrap capability
- Reduce the need to change wraps between suitable treatment areas
- Support prescribed multi-area rehabilitation programmes
- Provide greater flexibility in application
Suitable for Bilateral Rehabilitation
Some rehabilitation programmes involve treatment of both sides of the body. For example, a patient may require cold compression therapy around both knees or both ankles. Where clinically appropriate, the Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose allows two compatible wraps to be connected to the same control unit.
This may be particularly useful for:
- Selected bilateral knee rehabilitation programmes
- Suitable bilateral ankle injuries
- Multi-joint sports rehabilitation
- Other prescribed dual-area cold compression treatments
Simultaneous treatment should only be undertaken where appropriate for the individual's medical condition.
Useful for Post-Operative Recovery
Cold compression therapy may be recommended following certain orthopaedic procedures to help manage localised swelling and discomfort. The Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose enables two compatible wraps to operate simultaneously, providing an additional option for patients whose rehabilitation programme involves more than one treatment area.
Potential applications include selected recovery programmes following knee, ankle or other orthopaedic procedures. The Dual Hose itself does not provide cooling or compression. These functions are supplied by the Cryo Pro XL Control Unit and connected wraps.
Practical for Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Sports injuries can sometimes affect more than one joint or treatment area. The Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose allows physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals to use two compatible wraps during the same treatment session. This may provide a convenient option for selected sports rehabilitation programmes involving multiple areas.
The correct use of cold compression therapy should be determined by the treating professional.
Compatible with Cryo Pro XL Therapy Wraps
The Cryo Pro XL range includes therapy wraps designed for different areas of the body.
- Cryo Pro XL Knee Wrap
- Cryo Pro XL Ankle Wrap
- Cryo Pro XL Shoulder Wrap
- Cryo Pro XL Universal Wrap
- Cryo Pro XL Back and Hip Wrap
- Cryo Pro XL Full Leg Wrap
- Cryo Pro XL Full Long Leg Wrap
The Dual Hose is intended to support simultaneous use of two compatible wraps. The suitability of particular wrap combinations, especially two large full-leg wraps, should be confirmed with the supplier before use.
The Dual Hose allows two compatible wraps to operate from the same XL Control Unit; it does not provide separate digital controls or independently adjustable treatment programmes for each wrap. The appropriate compression setting and treatment duration should follow clinical advice.
Simple Connection and Operation
The Cryo Pro XL Dual Hose is designed to work with the compatible XL Control Unit and selected therapy wraps.
