The Polar Ice Wrist and Elbow Wrap is a great product for relieving pain from bruises, strains, and injuries from soft tissue trauma. It's a wrap made from fleece so that it’s comfortable on the skin and prevents you from getting any ice burns. The fleece holds encapsulated ice packs (filled with purified water) so that you can ice the entire forearm from wrist to elbow, and it has adjustable loops so you can compress the affected area to your preference.
Polar ice is one of the most reliable and trusted brands in Ice Therapy or Cryotherapy for pain management from soft tissue injuries. Polar Ice products are unique in that they are designed to conform to specific areas of the body, provide adequate compression, and ensure the ice stays where it's supposed to be. From treating small areas like your index finger or much larger areas like your knee, Polar Ice has an ice pack to suit every need.
It's a versatile and easy-to-use product for pain and swelling so that you can return to living your life to the fullest as soon as possible.
