Abstract

Abstract A wrap sheet, for compressively wrapping a user's anatomy, such as a joint, comprising an insulative, flexible, relatively thin sheet that is bi-directionally stretchable, the sheet including a first elastomeric layer, and a second layer of pile fabric attached to and substantially covering one side of the first layer; the sheet is adapted to be adjustably wrapped, and tensioned about a user's anatomy; and there are hook elements carried by the sheet for removably attaching to the second layer at any position of wrap adjustment of the sheet. A hot or cold pack may be integrated with the sheet, for retention by the wrap against the user's anatomy.
