NOTE
Application of heat and cold is most effective when body wraps are applied directly to patient's skin.
Following application of the vest and/or leg wrap(s), you may see the pattern of these body wraps on the patient's
skin. This pattern on the skin may be reddened (hyperemic). This occurrence is normal and will disappear within t he
same length of time that the wraps had been applied. This phenomenon is often mistaken for injury but is in fact
reactive hyperemia.
