Cold Compression Wraps
Cold compression wraps using either re-freezable ice or gel are a much safer product, as such products do not exceed the cooling/icing time recommended by the established medical community. Many of the ice wraps available use adjustable elastic straps to aid in compression over the injured areas. More advanced single-use wraps have guidelines to indicate how the bandage should be applied in order to achieve optimum compression required for an acute injury. Most ice wraps that use ice, have a built-in protective layer, so ice is not applied directly to the skin, which can result in a burn to the area sometimes known as a "cryoburn". Popular brands of ice wraps include: Hyperice, NMS Cold Pack, CP2 Professional Inflatable Compression Cold Pack, Recoverice, Cold One, Cool Relief, Pro Ice, Trainers Pick, Icy Cools, Neo-ice (新冰) etc.

Famous quotes containing the words cold, compression and/or wraps:
“Let us not be deceived—we are today in the midst of a cold war.”
—Bernard Baruch (1870–1965)
“Do they [the publishers of Murphy] not understand that if the book is slightly obscure it is because it is a compression and that to compress it further can only make it more obscure?”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“In the atom’s fizz and pop we heard possibility
uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
we could have anything we wanted.”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
