Helps ease carpal tunnel & wrist discomfort
HydroCure Carpal Tunnel & Wrist Wrap® is a reusable wrap based on the traditional Priessnitz Water Cure method.
A cool, damp insert allows the characteristic cooling → warming → local blood circulatory response to develop. It can also be used as a short cold or warm, dry application.
When and how to use your wrap
Carpal Tunnel-Related Wrist Discomfort
Traditional cold-to-warm Priessnitz application
Moisten the cotton insert with cool water, wring it out thoroughly and place it inside the wrap. Fit comfortably around the wrist and lower forearm.
Recommended duration: approximately 30–60 minutes.
Allow the initial cool sensation to gradually change into comfortable warming as the local blood circulatory response develops.
Repetitive Strain / Overuse Discomfort
Traditional cold-to-warm Priessnitz application
For aching or discomfort following repetitive hand or wrist activity, apply the cool, damp wrap for approximately 30–60 minutes.
Tendon & Wrist Discomfort
Traditional cold-to-warm Priessnitz application
For longer-standing tendon or surrounding soft-tissue discomfort, apply for approximately 30–60 minutes, according to individual comfort.
Hand & Wrist Stiffness / Rheumatic Aches
Traditional cold-to-warm Priessnitz application
Apply around the affected area for approximately 30–60 minutes.
A longer application may be used if the wrap remains comfortably warm and well tolerated.
Recent Irritation, Minor Injury Or Swelling
Short cold application
If the wrist is newly irritated, warm or mildly swollen, use the cool, damp wrap for approximately 5–10 minutes rather than allowing it to progress into prolonged warming.
Repeat later if comfortable and appropriate.
Dry Application
The wrap may also be worn dry for gentle warmth, comfort and support, including during periods of rest.
PLEASE NOTE: Tingling or numbness can accompany carpal tunnel syndrome, but the wrap is intended to provide comfort rather than correct nerve compression. Persistent or worsening numbness, loss of sensation or reduced hand strength should be medically assessed.
Individual response varies. During a traditional Priessnitz application, the initial cool sensation should gradually change into comfortable warmth.
Remove the wrap if the area remains unpleasantly cold, causes shivering, increased pain or discomfort.
How it works
1. Cooling
The cool, damp insert lowers the temperature of the skin surface. The initial response includes narrowing of superficial blood vessels (vasoconstriction).
2. Warming
The insulating layers reduce heat loss. As the body responds to the cooling stimulus, the treated area gradually warms and superficial blood vessels widen (vasodilation).
3. Local Blood Circulatory Response
The cooling-to-warming cycle produces changes in local skin blood flow. This physiological response forms the basis of the traditional Priessnitz Water Cure method.
Preparation, layers and package contents
1. Moisten
Remove the inner cotton insert and moisten it thoroughly with cold or cool water.
2. Wring
Wring out excess water. The insert should be evenly damp but not dripping.
3. Insert
Place the damp insert back inside the HydroCure Wrap®.
4. Apply
Position the wrap directly against intact skin over the required area and secure it comfortably. The wrap should remain in close contact with the skin without restricting blood circulation.
5. Leave In Place
Use the guide above to select the appropriate application and duration for your symptoms.
Remove the wrap sooner if it causes excessive chilling, pain, numbness, skin irritation or any other unexpected discomfort.
3-Layer System
Inner removable layer
Absorbent cotton insert moistened before application.
Middle insulating layer
Helps prevent moisture passing through the wrap and reduces heat loss.
Outer layer
Soft, comfortable layer designed to hold the wrap securely in position.

Important safety information
Warnings And Precautions
For external use only.
Keep away from fire. This product is not a medical device.
Apply only to intact skin.
Do not use:
• on open wounds or broken, infected or severely irritated skin
• where normal skin sensation is significantly reduced
• if the wrap causes persistent pain, excessive chilling, numbness or irritation
Do not fasten the wrap so tightly that blood circulation is restricted.
Children and people who are frail, have impaired sensation, impaired blood circulation or are unable to communicate discomfort should use the wrap only under appropriate supervision.
If you are uncertain whether Priessnitz application is appropriate for you because of an existing medical condition, seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional before use.
This product is intended for supportive use and should not delay appropriate medical assessment or treatment. Seek medical advice for severe, unexplained, persistent or worsening symptoms.
Normal Response During A Wet Priessnitz Application
An initial sensation of coolness is expected when the damp insert is first applied.
During a longer cold-to-warm application, the area should gradually feel less cold and become comfortably warmer as body heat accumulates beneath the insulating layers.
Temporary mild redness of the skin may occur after removal as local skin blood flow changes.
A short cold application is deliberately removed earlier, before the full warming response develops.
Stop using the wrap if you experience significant pain, prolonged numbness, marked skin irritation or any unexpected reaction.
Care, storage and materials
• Remove the cotton insert before washing where applicable.
