PowerPlay offers two cold compression therapy products for knees: the Standard Knee Wrap and the premium 360° Knee Wrap.
This guide will help you understand their differences and determine which is best for you.
The Basics of Cold Compression Therapy
The Standard Knee Wrap and the 360° Knee Wrap work with the PowerPlay compression pump system to deliver targeted cold therapy and compression. They are available separately or as part of complete kits for individuals and sports/healthcare professionals.
Each wrap includes a contoured reusable gel pack with non-toxic gel and features plush foam laminate construction with Velcro closure straps. Both options are universal fits, meaning they work on either the left or right knee.
All PowerPlay wraps utilize iceless cold gel packs that won’t drip or leak. They require just an hour in the freezer before use, and they can be transported in a cooler or the insulated pockets of PowerPlay kit bags.
By combining cold therapy with intermittent pneumatic compression, PowerPlay can help temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and pains and increase circulation in the treated areas.

The Standard Knee Wrap: Versatility and Value
The Standard Knee Wrap offers excellent versatility for those seeking a cost-effective solution—currently priced at $50 less than the full 360° version.
It’s smaller and lighter, allowing for better portability and mobility during use. When you pair it with the battery-powered PowerPlay pump, you can easily enjoy a quick session at your desk or in the locker room.
Another distinct advantage of the Standard Wrap is its dual-purpose design for both knees and elbows. This makes it an excellent choice for both active individuals and athletic training facilities or physical therapy practices that treat multiple areas at a time.
“I practice almost every morning, and my knee often gets sore or inflamed after. I like to use my PowerPlay Knee Wrap right after practice when I get home, and it’s definitely been helping.” David Garcia, Professional Soccer Player
The 360° Knee Wrap: Premium Coverage and Enhanced Support
As its name suggests, the 360° Knee Wrap provides more coverage around the knee joint.
Unlike the Standard Wrap, the 360° version extends from mid-thigh to mid-shin, providing better stabilization and a larger contact area. It’s best used on a couch, lounger, or therapy table to maximize comfort during a therapy session.
Which Cold Compression Knee Wrap is Best for You?
The decision between these two wraps often comes down to specific use cases.
The 360° Knee Wrap may be the better choice when increased coverage and support are desired.
For many individuals, training rooms, and clinics, the Standard Knee Wrap offers excellent versatility and value. Its ability to treat both knee and elbow conditions makes it a practical choice while managing equipment costs.
“Your product is a game changer, and I can’t thank the team enough for such an amazing product. It clearly is making a huge difference for me.” Kevin B., Customer Story
As always, make sure to consult your doctor, physical therapist, or athletic trainer for the best treatment options for your specific use case.
