Ideal Application: Designed to provide continuous cold therapy to the shoulder. Helps to reduce pain and swelling and speed rehab. The shoulder wrap is 12x13 and fits approximately a 50 chest circumference.
Edema has many possible causes: 1  Prolonged standing or sitting, especially in hot weather, can cause excess fluid to accumulate in the feet, ankles and lower legs. 2  Tiny valves inside the veins of the legs can become weakened, causing a common problem called venous insufficiency.
Muscle activity in the legs helps propel blood and lymphatic fluid upward and out of the legs. Prolonged standing or sitting may cause a buildup of fluid within the lower legs due to gravity and diminished propulsive action of the leg muscles. Extended sitting during air, train or automobile travel may cause significant bilateral ankle edema.
