How the VitalWrap System works
The VitalWrap System consists of three components: a control unit, a tubing set, and a thermal fabric wrap. The control unit, which includes a fluid reservoir, manages the temperature of water used by the system to supply heat or cold to the fabric wrap attached to the body. By pumping the water through a heat-exchanging bladder inside the wrap, the control unit warms or cools the water to match the proper temperature setting, delivering precise and safe thermal therapy.

Set-up is a simple, three-step process:

  1. Fill the portable, leak-proof reservoir with ice and water.
  2. Place the bladder portion of the wrap around the treatment area and secure it with the Velcro™ closure.
  3. Attach the wrap to the control unit using the tubing set.

Once the control unit is turned on, 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.

The VitalWrap System is designed so that the user can apply thermal therapy for extended periods. The typical transition time between the warm and cold settings in the temperature range is about one minute.

Specially tailored wraps are available for any area of the body. Please consult your healthcare professional prior to applying the system, particularly when using it for long periods of time.

WARNING: Use carefully. Any hot/cold therapy may cause serious burns. Do not use over sensitive skin areas or in the presence of poor circulation. The unattended use of the VitalWrap System or RecoveryWrap System by children or incapcitated persons may be dangerous.
