The NICE1 Straight Knee Wrap is the most-used wrap in the NICE1 range. It cradles the knee joint and delivers cold and compression evenly across the patella, joint line, and surrounding soft tissue. Surgeons, private orthopaedic clinics and Premiership rugby clubs use this exact wrap with the NICE1 machine to manage post-operative swelling after ACL reconstruction, total knee replacement and meniscus repair — and it works just as well for non-surgical cases like patellar tendinopathy, runner's knee and arthritis flare-ups. Two sizes cover most thigh circumferences; pair it with the NICE1 machine to hire, subscribe, or buy.

How NICE1 wraps work

Every NICE1 wrap is a body-shaped sleeve that holds the cold and compression cycle exactly where you need it. The wrap connects to the NICE1 machine with a single quick-release coupler and uses water — not ice — to circulate cold across the joint. Inflation cycles deliver gentle, controlled compression to clear inflammation and improve outcomes. Wraps are interchangeable, so a single NICE1 unit can treat the knee one day and the shoulder the next.
